Because under the null hypothesis of no difference, the appropriate test statistic can be shown to have a t-distribution with the relevant degrees of freedom. So you use the t-test to see how well the observed test statistic fits in with a t-distribution.

How is the null hypothesis of the independent samples t test verbalized?
The null hypothesis of the independent samples t-test is verbalized by either accepting or rejecting it due to the value of the t-test. If the value is less than 0.05 it is accepted and greater than 0.05 is rejecting it.

Can a single t-test compare the means of 3 or more groups?
No, don't use a single t-test to compare the means of 3 or more groups. Use ANOVA.

paired t-test is more powerful because it utilizes information
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.

Is a t-test a parametric study?
Yes, it is. The one sample t-test is a study of the parameter population-mean. You can also use the t-test to test for the difference between two population means (both parameters).

How to test data using SPSS?
You can test data using T-Test in SPSS. Click Analyze > Compare Means > Independent-Samples T-Test to run an Independent Samples T-Test in SPSS. In the Independent-Samples T-Test window, you specify the variables to be analyzed. On the left side of the screen, you will see a list of all variables in your dataset.
