Solution
The appropriate type of t-test when the same group is measured twice under different conditions is the Paired samples t-test.
Here's why:
-
The Independent samples t-test is used when you have two separate groups of individuals and you want to compare their means on some variable. This is not the case here as we have the same group measured twice.
-
The Paired samples t-test is used when you have one group that is measured twice (under different conditions or at different times). This is exactly the situation described in the question.
-
The One-sample t-test is used when you have one group of individuals and you want to compare their mean on some variable to a known value or theoretical expectation. This is not the case here as we have the same group measured twice, not compared to a known value.
-
Not any t-test will do. The type of t-test used depends on the design of the study and the nature of the data.
-
Therefore, the answer is not "None of the above".
So, the correct answer is the Paired samples t-test.
