T-Distribution Under The Nullhypothesis. It Can Be Used To Determine If

A t-test is used to determine if two datasets are statistically different. The document presents a study that uses a t-test to analyze the relationship between gender and task time. It describes collecting data on the time taken by students of different genders to complete two tasks. A t-test analysis found no significant difference in task times between genders for both tasks. The study concludes there is no relationship between gender and time to complete a task.

INTRODUCTION

A t-test is any statistical hypothesis test in which the test statistic follows
a Student's t-distribution under the nullhypothesis. It can be used to determine if
two sets of data are significantly different from each other.A t-test is most
commonly applied when the test statistic would follow a normal distribution if
the value of a scaling term in the test statistic were known. When the scaling
term is unknown and is replaced by an estimate based on the data, the test
statistics (under certain conditions) follow a Student's t distribution.
Among the most frequently used t-tests are:

A one-sample location test of whether the mean of a population has a value


specified in a null hypothesis.
A two-sample location test of the null hypothesis such that the means of two
populations are equal. All such tests are usually called Student's t-tests,
though strictly speaking that name should only be used if the variances of
the two populations are also assumed to be equal; the form of the test used
when this assumption is dropped is sometimes called Welch's t-test. These
tests are often referred to as "unpaired" or "independent samples" t-tests, as
they are typically applied when the statistical units underlying the two
samples being compared are non-overlapping
A test of the null hypothesis that the difference between two responses
measured on the same statistical unit has a mean value of zero. For example,
suppose we measure the size of a cancer patient's tumor before and after a
treatment. If the treatment is effective, we expect the tumor size for many of
the patients to be smaller following the treatment. This is often referred to as
the "paired" or "repeated measures" t-test.
A test of whether the slope of a regression line differs significantly from 0.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The statement of the problem is to find if there is any relationship between the
gender and task time.

OBJECTIVES

To analyse the performance on a given task with respect to gender.

To compare the performance between male and female.

HYPOTHESIS

Null Hypothesis : NO relation between gender and task time

Alternate Hypothesis : Relation between gender and task time

Gave a problem to the class and computed the time taken by each student to
complete the problem.Two tasks were given and the sum was taken.The data
were stored in excel sheet .

SOFTWARE

The software used to compile the data and find the results was microsoft excel.

DATA INTERPRETATION

Since computed T values for both the tasks are greater than the level of
significance which is 5%, we do not find enough evidence to reject the null
hypothesis. Therefore, we will accept that there is no relation between the
gender and the time taken to complete the task.

CONCLUSION

There is no relation between the gender and the time taken to complete a task.
