When we test for differences between the means of two independent populations, we can only use a two-tailed test.

Independent Populations

Two or more populations that do not affect each other, such that measurements from one population are not related to measurements from the others.

Two-tailed Test

A statistical hypothesis test in which the area of rejection is on both sides of the sampling distribution, allowing for the exploration of the possibility that a parameter is significantly greater than or less than a specified value.

Means

The average of a set of numerical values, calculated as the sum of the values divided by the number of values.

  • Administer and interpret the outcome of hypothesis evaluations for differences between two means of populations utilizing data from samples.
