Summary of t-Test for Testing a Single Population Mean (m) t-Test Statistic The t-distribution Student(df ) density curves for various df. The t-distribution The t-distribution The t-distribution The t-distribution The t-distribution Example: P(-1.96 ￡ Z ￡ 1.96) = 0.95 (standard normal) P(-2.365 ￡ t ￡ 2.365) = 0.95 for t-dist. w/ df = 7  Hence, if we are taking samples of size n = 8 and we want to build intervals that include m for 95% of all samples taken in the long run, then we use Form of Hypotheses Ho: m = mo HA: m mo (lower-tail test) Ho: m = mo HA: m mo (upper-tail test) F
