Paired t-Test

A t-test on the differences between paired measurements of the same subjects, such as before and after a treatment.

Definition

Pairing removes between-subject variability, which increases power. The test treats the differences as a single sample.

Example

Employee productivity before and after training.

Exam tip

Same subjects measured twice = paired t-test, not an independent two-sample test.
