A University of Melbourne researcher measures sleep duration in a sample of 25 Mind, Brain and Behavior 2 students following an online mindfulness intervention. The population standard deviation of sleep duration among university students is completely unknown.
What test should be used?
What is a one-sample $t$-test?
Why this test?
Population standard deviation (σ) is unknown: Since the population standard deviation is unknown, we must estimate it using the sample standard deviation (s), which introduces additional sampling variability.
Sample size: The small sample size (n = 25) combined with an estimated standard deviation means the sampling distribution of the mean follows a t-distribution rather than a standard normal (z) distribution.
Key Rule of Thumb:
Use a z-test when the population standard deviation (σ) is known.
Use a t-test when the population standard deviation (σ) is unknown and estimated using the sample standard deviation (s).
