The"t" test, (called the "small 't' test, to distinguish it from the large 'T' test) is a test for deviation from a known norm, using a smaller sample set than the one required by the large T test.

It is said to have been developed by the head of quality control at the Guinness Brewery in Ireland.

t test, because the z test requires knowing the population standard deviation and that's rare. The t test embodies an estimate of the standard deviation.

When data is normally distributed which test can be taken?

The answer depends on what is being tested: the t-test, F-test, Chi-square, Z-test are all commonly used with the Normal distribution. There are many others.


What is the difference between t test and z test?

Whereas a t-test is used for n30, where n=sample size. n < 30 or n > 30 is not entirely arbitrary; it is intended to indicate that n must be sufficiently large to use the normal distribution. In some cases, n must be greater than 50. Note, both the t-test and the z-test can only be used if the distribution from which the sample is being drawn is a normal distribution. A z-test can be used even if the distribution is not normal (but is not severely skewed) if n>30, in which case, we can safely assume that the distribution is normal.


Is t-test a parametric test or not?
