In chapter 9, we discussed Confidence Interval methodology to draw conclusions about the difference in the brain size of the chi
ldren with and without autism. Discuss a different methodology to conclude if there is any significant difference in the average brain size of the children with and without autism.
The two sample t test can be used in the scenario described above, where two independent samples are obtained, we take a certain sample of children with autism and then another sample of children without autism. The number of children chosen for each sample should be random and could be of equal or unequal sizes. The mean and standard deviation of each of sample A and B are deternined and used to perform the analysis to determine if the mean of each sample are equal or not. This test is also called the WELCH T TEST
