EXERCISE 29 t-TEST FOR INDEPENDENT GROUPS I STATISTICAL TECHNIQUE IN REVIEW The t-test is a parametric analysis technique used to determine significant differences between the scores obtained from two groups. The t-test uses the standard deviation to estimate the standard error of the sampling distribution and examines the differences between the means of the two groups. Since the t-test is considered fairly easy to calculate‚ researchers often use it in determining differences between two groups

X has a chi-square distribution with n degrees of freedom. Therefore E(Y) = E(X) = E(X) = n. Proposition 3. If X has a chi-square distribution with n degrees of freedom‚ then the variance of X is X2 = E((X - X)2) = 2n. If Y/ has a chi-square distribution with n degrees of freedom‚ then the variance of Y is Y2 = 2n2. Proof. Since X ~ (n/2‚2) it follows from Proposition 3 of section 2.2 that X2 = (n/2)(22) = 2n. One has Y/ = X where X has a chi-square distribution
