Hello,

I have the following data that is from two different places X and Y where the results are from two criteria High and Low

High Low

34 25

55 45

65 65

85 75

95 75

and so on.

Consider this is for the Place X and likewise I have values from the Place Y. Can i use T test to compare the values and to find which is best compared to the two places?

Thanks

T-test determines if the means of the two places are statistically different. It does not determine "which is best". You, the data analyst, have to have some criterion for what "best" means.

What happens if you find a statistically significant difference, but the difference is only 2 units? Is that a practical difference?
