Paired t-test
The following function conducts a paired t-test:
ttest_rel(a, b, alternative='two-sided')
This process resembles the one used for independent samples, but here we do not need to check the homogeneity of variance. The paired t-test explicitly does not assume that variances are equal.
Keep in mind that for a paired t-test, it's crucial that the sample sizes are equal.
With this information in mind, you can proceed to the task of conducting a paired t-test.
Here, you have data regarding the number of downloads for a particular app. Take a look at the samples: the mean values are nearly identical.

You are testing whether a change has increased the average number of downloads.
Two datasets are provided β before and after β representing the number of downloads before and after the changes.
The hypotheses are:
- Hβ: The mean number of downloads before and after the changes is the same.
- Hβ: The mean number of downloads is greater after the modifications.
Conduct a paired t-test using these samples and the corresponding alternative hypothesis.
- Use the
st.ttest_rel()function to perform a paired t-test. - Pass
afterandbeforeas the first two arguments in this order. - Set the argument
alternative='greater'to test if the mean after is greater than before. - Store the results in the variables
statsandpvalue. - Use the
pvalueto determine whether to support or reject the null hypothesis.
