Hypothesis Testing with t-statistic
t-statistic is the computed value of the test statistic based on the Student’s t distribution.
t-statistic with n-1 degrees of freedom is calculated as follows:
In the hypothesis test, we compare the t-statistic with the critical t-value at a given level of significance and appropriate degrees of freedom.
