What is t-statistic?

Statistics

t-통계량

A value showing how unlikely it is that an observed difference is due to chance. It is calculated by dividing average performance by the variability of that performance and the number of observations. An absolute value above roughly 2 is where chance becomes hard to accept as an explanation. With few observations the value does not grow no matter how good the average is, so the number of records comes first.
