A dependent t test compares the means of two related groups to detect whether there are any statistically significant differences between the means.

What is an Independent t test?
An independent t test is an inferential statistical test that determines whether there is a statistically significant difference between the means in two unrelated groups.

60
300
Does a dependent t test use between groups or within group data?
within group data
300
with a sample of 400 people what is the critical value of a two tailed test?
1.96
400
What are sampling errors?
error in a statistical analysis arising from the unrepresentative sample taken.
400
Is there usually more sampling error in independent or dependent t tests?
Independent
400
What is another name for an independent t test
two sample t test or student t test
400
what is the formula for finding the degrees of freedom in a dependent t test

With a sample of 147 people what is the critical value of a one tailed t test?
1.645
500
What does a small variance among subject mean for sampling errors?
The smaller the variance among the subjects, the less likely that the differences between two means was created by sampling error.
500
Why do dependent t tests usually have less sampling error?
They use the same subjects twice rather than two separate samples.
