====Independent (unpaired) samples==== The independent samples ''t''-test is used when two separate sets of [[Independent and identically-distributed random variables|independent and identically distributed]] samples are obtained, and one variable from each of the two populations is compared. For example, suppose we are evaluating the effect of a medical treatment, and we enroll 100 subjects into our study, then randomly assign 50 subjects to the treatment group and 50 subjects to the control group. In this case, we have two independent samples and would use the unpaired form of the ''t''-test.
