    Answer Z-test and t-test are basically the same; they compare between two means to suggest whether both samples come from the same population. The main requirements for these two tests are given below.

  • The Use of an ANOVA Test

    A two-way ANOVA for example, can measure both the differences among treatments and among the age of participants simultaneously. Thus here two independent variables are used. The two independent variables in a two-way ANOVA are called factors.
