PAIRED
SAMPLE T-TEST
Is a statistical technique that is used to compare two population means in
the case of two samples that are correlated. It is used in “ before-and
after” studies, or when the samples are the matched paired, or the case in
a control study.
For instance, if a company gives training its employees and the company
wants to know whether or not the training had any impact on the
performance of the employee, the paired sample t test can be applied.
By using the paired sample t test, the company can statistically conclude
whether or not training has improved the performance of the
employees.
