A one-sample t-test compares a sample mean to a hypothesized value.

The math behind it

t = (sample mean - hypothesized mean) / (s / sqrt(n)), with n - 1 degrees of freedom.

Worked Example

mean 52, mu 50, s 6, n 30 gives t about 1.83, df 29.

Frequently Asked Questions

t-test vs z-test?

Use the t-test when the population SD is unknown and estimated from the sample.
