When making inferences about the difference in population means with the 2 sample t-test the observed value for the test statistic is?
For the null hypothesis, the observed t-statistic is equal to the difference between the two sample means divided by the standard error of the difference between the sample means.
What are the conditions to make a positive inference?
The conditions we need for inference on a mean are:
- Random: A random sample or randomized experiment should be used to obtain the data.
- Normal: The sampling distribution of x ˉ \bar x xˉx, with, \bar, on top (the sample mean) needs to be approximately normal.
- Independent: Individual observations need to be independent.
How to make inferences from random samples ( practice )?

How to use two dependent samples in inference?
Two Dependent Samples (Matched Pairs) Two samples that are dependent typically come from a matched pairs experimental design. The parameter tested using matched pairs is the population mean difference. When using inference techniques for matched or paired samples, the following characteristics should be present: Simple random sampling is used.
Is the mean of the distribution the same as the mean?
The mean of the difference is going to be the difference of the means. The mean of the difference is the same thing is the difference of the means. So the mean of this new distribution right over here is going to be the same thing as the mean of our sample mean minus the mean of our sample mean of y.
What’s the difference between sampling and normal distribution?
Direct link to freezeindigo’s post “If the population is normally distributed, the sam…” If the population is normally distributed, the sampling distribution will be normal. If the population is not normally distributed, the sampling distribution, if the samples taken are large, will be approximately normally distributed.
