⚡ Two groups. Different means. Is difference significant?
🎯 Independent t-test:
✔️ Compare group means
✔️ Check assumptions
✔️ Calculate t
⚠️ Student's pooled t-test assumes equal population variances,
⚠️Welch's t-test allows unequal variances.
❤️ ROSC achieved. But what about the brain?
🧠 MIRACLE₂ vs CAHP vs TTM vs APACHE II vs SAPS
Which best predicts neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest?

⚡ Before vs After: Did the treatment make a difference?
🎯 Meet the Paired t-Test!
🔹 Calculate paired differences
🔹 Compute t
🔹 Interpret p
🧠 Normality applies to the differences, not necessarily the original values.

🎯 Meet the Z-test!
🔢 Calculate Z → compare with critical value
At α=0.05, two-sided → ±1.96
⚠️ Say “fail to reject H₀,” not “accept H₀.”
🧠 Statistics is not just calculation—it’s interpretation.

Before choosing a statistical test, understand your data.
📈 Visualise distribution
📊 Use normality tests thoughtfully.
⚠️ p > 0.05 doesn’t prove normality.
🧠 Good statistics starts with understanding the data.
