Ready to print

Start with a ready-made worksheet

Identify the design before calculating. Keep paired differences and Welch noninteger degrees of freedom explicit.

Download the practice pages alone, or include a separate answer key or teacher model. Longer activities may use more than one page.

Keep the conditioning statement visible

Student pages print the assumptions, tail convention, distribution reference, and workspace needed to complete each inference problem. Separate worked keys reproduce the decision from the same validated document.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Match the study design to the correct t statistic, assumptions, degrees of freedom, and conclusion.

Worked example

Five paired differences are analyzed. What df is used?

df=5-1=4.

A paired test is a one-sample t test on the differences.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Form paired differences first.
  • Pool only with an equal-variance assumption.
  • Retain Welch df as a decimal.

Keep Welch degrees of freedom unrounded during probability calculations.1.Independent samples give group 1: n=6, mean=14, s=2; group 2: n=9, mean=15, s=3. Use the equal-variance pooled test of H0: mu1-mu2=0 at alpha=0.1.Assumptions: Samples are independent and each population is approximately normal. Population variances are assumed equal.Reference: Pool the variance and use df=n1+n2-2. t reference: P(T_13>=0.713229032)=0.2441552908; two-sided p=2(0.2441552908)=0.4883105816.
