Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Statement I:T-tests can be used to test mean differences between two groups.

Statement II:ANOVA cannot compare the differences between group means.

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false ✓ Correct

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Explanation

Statement one holds because a t-test compares the means of two groups.

It assesses whether the observed mean difference is statistically significant.

Statement two fails because ANOVA does compare differences among group means.

Analysis of variance handles three or more groups simultaneously.

Using many separate t-tests instead would inflate the Type I error rate.

A significant ANOVA is followed by post-hoc tests to locate the differences.
