  ## What is a two sample mean test?
  
  The two-sample t-test (Snedecor and Cochran, 1989) is used to determine if two population means are equal. A common application is to test if a new process or treatment is superior to a current process or treatment. The variances of the two samples may be assumed to be equal or unequal.
  
  ## Which hypothesis test is appropriate for comparing two sample means?
  
  paired t-test
  Two sample T hypotheis tests are performed when the two group samples are statistically independent to each other, while the paired t-test is used to compare the means of two dependent or paired groups.
  
  How do you test a hypothesis for two means?
  
  The Hypothesis Test for a Difference in Two Population Means
  
  1. Step 1: Determine the hypotheses. The hypotheses for a difference in two population means are similar to those for a difference in two population proportions.
  2. Step 2: Collect the data.
  3. Step 3: Assess the evidence.
  4. Step 4: State a conclusion.
  
  What is the sample mean in hypothesis testing?
  
  A one sample test of means compares the mean of a sample to a pre-specified value and tests for a deviation from that value. For example we might know that the average birth weight for white babies in the US is 3,410 grams and wish to compare the average birth weight of a sample of black babies to this value.
  
  ### When should you use the z-test?
  
  The z-test is best used for greater-than-30 samples because, under the central limit theorem, as the number of samples gets larger, the samples are considered to be approximately normally distributed. When conducting a z-test, the null and alternative hypotheses, alpha and z-score should be stated.
  
  ### What is the null hypothesis for a 2 sample t test?
  
  The default null hypothesis for a 2-sample t-test is that the two groups are equal. You can see in the equation that when the two groups are equal, the difference (and the entire ratio) also equals zero.
  
  What are different types of hypothesis testing?
  
  There are basically two types, namely, null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. A research generally starts with a problem. Next, these hypotheses provide the researcher with some specific restatements and clarifications of the research problem.
  
  What is the null hypothesis for a two sample t-test?
  
  #### How do you read a hypothesis test?
  
  A result is statistically significant when the p-value is less than alpha. This signifies a change was detected: that the default hypothesis can be rejected. If p-value > alpha: Fail to reject the null hypothesis (i.e. not significant result). If p-value <= alpha: Reject the null hypothesis (i.e. significant result).
  
  #### What is Z test in hypothesis?
  
  Z-test is a statistical test to determine whether two population means are different when the variances are known and the sample size is large. Z-test is a hypothesis test in which the z-statistic follows a normal distribution. Z-tests assume the standard deviation is known, while t-tests assume it is unknown.
  
  What are some examples of hypothesis testing?
  
  In a famous example of hypothesis testing, known as the Lady tasting tea, Dr. Muriel Bristol , a female colleague of Fisher claimed to be able to tell whether the tea or the milk was added first to a cup.
  
  What is an example of a statistical hypothesis?
  
  For instance, the statement that a population mean is equal to 10 is an example of a statistical hypothesis. A researcher might conduct a statistical experiment to test the validity of this hypothesis.
  
  ## What is an one sided hypothesis?
  
  What is a One-Sided Hypothesis? A one-sided hypothesis is an alternative hypothesis strictly bounded from above or from below, as opposed to a two-sided hypothesis which is the union of two one-sided hypotheses and is thus unbounded from both above and below.
