Suppose that we want to test the null hypothesis that the mean of population 1 is equal to the mean of population 2. We select a random sample from population 1 and a random sample from population 2, and these two samples are independent. Circle the TRUE statements.
A. We need to perform a two-sided test.
B. If we know the variance of each population, even if they are different, we can use the Z test. That is, the test statistic follows a normal distribution.
C. If we do not know the variance of each population, but we know the two populations share the same variance, then we can use the Z test. That is, the test statistic follows a normal distribution.
D. If we do not know the variance of each population, and we cannot assume the two populations share the same variance, then we can use the t test. That is, the test statistic follows a t distribution.

Suppose we want to conduct a hypothesis test relating to the mean of a certain population where the population variance is unknown. To conduct the test, we collect data from a random sample of 27 members of the population. a. Explain why we should use a t-test instead of a z-test in this situation. What is the distribution of the t-statistic in this case? (Recall that the t-statistic is defined as ? = ?̅−? ?/√? ) b. Find the following...

These two groups are two samples representing the population of
workers in the economy. We want to know if the workers who take the
training (treatment sample) have higher earnings than the group
that do not take the training (control sample). If we find that the
trained workers have higher earnings it would indicate that the
training is effective.[1]In terms of statistics, we will do a
hypothesis test on the difference between the mean earnings in the
treatment population and...

We use a t distribution for inference about a population mean instead of the standard Normal distribution: if we do not know the population mean and must use the sample mean. if the original population does not have a Normal distribution. if we do not have a simple random sample. if we do not know the population standard deviation and must use the sample standard deviation.
