    Question



    The students' t-test would be useful for:
    A. Comparing two groups to see whether their means differ.
    B. Comparing multiple groups (more than two) to see whether their means differ.
    C. Testing the significance of correlation coefficient.
    D. Testing the significance of regression coefficient.
    Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

    A.

    Only (A), (B), and (C)

    B.

    Only (B) and (D)

    C.

    Only (A), (C), and (D)

    D.

    Only (A), (B), (C), and (D)

    Correct option is C

    The Student's t-test is a statistical test used to determine if there is a significant difference between the means or the significance of coefficients in small sample sizes. Here's how the options align:
    A. Comparing two groups to see whether their means differ:
    Correct. The t-test is designed to compare the means of two groups (independent or paired samples).
    C. Testing the significance of correlation coefficient:
    Correct. The t-test can assess whether a correlation coefficient is significantly different from zero.
    D. Testing the significance of regression coefficient:
    Correct. The t-test is used in regression analysis to test the significance of individual regression coefficients (e.g., testing whether a slope is different from zero).
    Thus, the correct answer is (c) Only (A), (C), and (D).
    Information Booster:
    Independent t-test: Compares the means of two independent groups.
    Paired t-test: Compares means within the same group before and after an intervention.
    Correlation coefficient testing: Assesses the relationship strength and direction between two variables.
    Regression coefficient testing: Determines whether predictors (independent variables) significantly explain the dependent variable.
    ANOVA: Used for comparing means across multiple groups (more than two).
    Additional Knowledge:
    Comparing multiple groups (more than two) to see whether their means differ:
    Incorrect. The t-test is not suitable for comparing more than two groups. For multiple groups, an ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) test is more appropriate.
