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.
ASSUMPTIONS in PAIRED SAMPLE T-
TEST
1.Only the matched pair can be used to perform the paired-
sample t test.
2.In the paired sample t-test, normal distributions are
assumed .
3.The variances of two samples are homogeneous.
4.The observations must be independent of each other.

Step 5: Decision Rule

Since the computed t value of 2.041 is in the rejection region, the

decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Step 6. Conclusion.
1.As an aid for improving
employees working habits, eight Employees Before After
employees were randomly 1. 10 9
selected to attend a seminar- 2 12 14
workshop on the importance of 3 8 11
4 7 12
work. The table shows the
5 11 15
numbers of workload done per 6 10 13
week before ad after the seminar- 7 13 12
workshop. At 0.05, did attending 8 9 14
the seminar-workshop increase
the performance level of
employees.
