Testing Hypotheses for Means

Help me study for my Statistics class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

Review the Resources and the media programs related to t tests I uploaded. Also, review the t test scenarios I uploaded below and consider the three different approaches of t tests.

Independent sample t test

Paired sample t test

One sample t test

Write a 2 to 3-paragraph analysis of your t test results for each research scenario. Do not forget to evaluate if the t test assumptions are met, justify the selection of type of t test, and report the effect size. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.
