A test in which the statistic used has a t-(Student) distribution, occurring, for instance, in the following problems.-test of the equality between the mean of a normal population and a specified value, based on the mean observed on a sample taken from this population, the variance of the population being estimated from the sample;-test of the equality between the means of two normal populations having the same variance based on the means observed on two independent samples taken from these population, the common variance being estimated from these samples;-test applying to the value of a linear regression or correlation coefficient. 1, record 1, English, - t%2Dtest

Test où la statistique utilisée suit une loi de t (de Student) et intervenant notamment dans les problèmes suivants: - test de l'égalité de la moyenne d'une population normale à une valeur spécifiée, à partir de la moyenne observée sur un échantillon issu de cette population, la variance de la population étant estimée sur l'échantillon; - test de l'égalité des moyennes de deux populations normales de même variance, à partir des moyennes observées sur deux échantillons indépendants issus de ces populations, la variance commune étant estimée sur ces échantillons; - tests relatifs à la valeur d'un coefficient de régression ou de corrélation linéaire. 3, record 1, French, - test%20t

In a linear regression between two variables, the average unit of change in the dependent variable associated with each unit of change in the independent variable. 3, record 2, English, - regression%20coefficient
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The regression coefficient is obtained by dividing the standard deviation of the dependent variable by the standard deviation of the independent variable and multiplying the quotient by the coefficient of correlation. The regression coefficient defines the slope of the regression line (illustrating the relationship between the two variables). 3, record 2, English, - regression%20coefficient
