What conditions are necessary in order to use a t-test to test the differences between two population means?

The samples must be randomly selected, independent, and normally distributed. The following are necessary to use a t-test for small independent samples. 1. The samples must be randomly selected. 2. The samples must be independent. 3. Each population must have a normal distribution.


When should one use a t-test instead of a chi-square test for statistical analysis?

A t-test is used when comparing means of two groups, while a chi-square test is used for comparing frequencies or proportions of categorical data. Use a t-test when comparing numerical data and a chi-square test when comparing categorical data.


When should one use the chi-square test instead of the t-test?

The chi-square test should be used instead of the t-test when analyzing categorical data or comparing frequencies of different categories, while the t-test is used for comparing means of continuous data.


When to use t-test?

You use the t-test when the population standard deviation is not known and estimated by the sample standard deviation. (1) To test hypothesis about the population mean (2) To test whether the means of two independent samples are different. (3) To test whether the means of two dependent samples are different. (4) To construct a confidence interval for the population mean.

What statistical tests can I use on data collected from quota samples?

The simple answer is you cannot use statistical tests on data collected from quota samples. Unless the sample was collected using a random sampling technique you cannot have any confidence in the results being representative of the population you are sampling. Quota samples are non random. However this does not stop researchers from using statistical tests on quota samples, even if the results can be taken with a pinch of salt!
