The students t-test is a method of testing hypotheses in statistics. Specifically, the test is a way to measure the significance of a difference of means between two distributions, such as an observed distribution compared to the Normal distribution.

Often the students t-test is used when comparing the mean between two groups, even if the standard deviations of the two groups are unknown.
