the mean of the comparison distribution for an independent-samples t test is
Independent Samples t Test. The Independent Samples t Test compares the means of two independent groups in order to determine whether there is statistical evidence that the associated population means are significantly different. The Independent Samples t Test is a parametric test.he calculated t value is then compared to the critical t value from the t distribution table with degrees of freedom df = n 1 + n 2 - 2 and chosen confidence level. If the calculated t t value, then we reject the null hypothesis. Note that this form of the independent samples T test statistic assumes equal variances.
