Provide an example of a study that would utilize a t test for a single sample. List three differences in how you would carry out hypothesis testing for a t test for a single sample versus for a Z test
What will be an ideal response?
Answers to the first part of the question will vary. For the second part, in a t test: (a) you estimate the population variance from the sample because it is not known in advance, (b) you look up the cutoff on a t table in which you also have to take into account the degrees of freedom (you don't use a normal curve table), and
(c) your sample's score on the comparison distribution, which is a t distribution (not a normal curve), is a t score and not a Z score.
