h2(#description). Description
A t-test report with table of descriptives, diagnostic tests and t-test specific statistics.
h3(#introduction). Introduction
In a nutshell, _t-test_ is a statistical test that assesses hypothesis of equality of two means. But in theory, any hypothesis test that yields statistic which follows "_t-distribution_":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student%27s_t-distribution can be considered a _t-test_. The most common usage of _t-test_ is to:
* compare the mean of a variable with given test mean value - *one-sample _t-test_*
* compare means of two variables from independent samples - *independent samples _t-test_*
* compare means of two variables from dependent samples - *paired-samples _t-test_*
h3(#overview). Overview
Independent samples _t-test_ is carried out with _Internet usage in leisure time (hours per day)_ as dependent variable, and _Gender_ as independent variable. Confidence interval is set to 95%. Equality of variances wasn't assumed.
h3(#descriptives). Descriptives
In order to get more insight on the underlying data, a table of basic descriptive statistics is displayed below.

h3(#diagnostics). Diagnostics
Since _t-test_ is a parametric technique, it sets some basic assumptions on distribution shape: it has to be _normal_ (or approximately normal). A few normality test are to be applied, in order to screen possible departures from normality.
h4(#normality-tests). Normality Tests
We will use _Shapiro-Wilk_, _Lilliefors_ and _Anderson-Darling_ tests to screen departures from normality in the response variable (_Internet usage in leisure time (hours per day)_).

As you can see, applied tests yield different results on hypotheses of normality, so you may want to stick with one you find most appropriate or you trust the most..
h3(#results). Results
Welch Two Sample t-test was applied, and significant differences were found.
