What is safety t score?
Because t-score isn't as accurate as z-score, you should use 40 as a safety sample size, rather than 30 as you would for a z-score.
What is the p value of a test statistic of 1.369?
The answer depends on what the test statistic is: a t-statistic, z-score, chi square of something else.
What is the difference between z-score and t-score?
T-scores and z-scores measure the deviation from normal. The normal for T-score is 50 with standard deviation of 10. if the score on t-score is more than 50, it means that the person scored above normal (average), and vise versa. The normal for Z-score is 0. If Z-score is above 0, then it means that person scored above normal (average), and vise versa.
Why would you use a z test rather than a t test?
When the sample size is greater than 30
What is a t-test?
a t test is used inplace of a z-test when the population standard deviation is unknown.
