Flashcards
When is the t-statistic used?
When is the t-statistic used?
The t-statistic is used when the sample size is small or the population standard deviation is unknown.
Purpose of t-statistic in hypothesis testing?
Purpose of t-statistic in hypothesis testing?
The main purpose is to determine whether the null hypothesis can be supported or rejected based on sample data.
When to use t-statistic for population mean estimation?
When to use t-statistic for population mean estimation?
It is used when we have a sampling distribution and the population standard deviation is unknown.

Key Statistical Concepts
- The main difference between z-scores and t-scores is that z-scores are used for large sample sizes (n > 30) or when the population standard deviation is known, while t-scores are applied for smaller sample sizes (n ≤ 30) or when the population standard deviation is unknown.
- The primary objective of using t-statistics in hypothesis testing is to determine if there is a significant difference between sample means, especially when dealing with smaller samples or unknown population parameters.
- t-scores are utilized to estimate the population mean when the sample size is small and when the population variance is unknown, allowing for more accurate conclusions about the population based on limited data.
