testes
(noun)
Also referred to as testicles, the male gonads in animals.
(noun)
The male gonads responsible for the production of sperm and the secretion of testosterone.
Examples of testes in the following topics:

Quantitative or Qualitative Data?
- Different statistical tests are used to test quantitative and qualitative data.
- Paired and unpaired t-tests and z-tests are just some of the statistical tests that can be used to test quantitative data.
- A t-test is any statistical hypothesis test in which the test statistic follows a t distribution if the null hypothesis is supported.
- A z-test is any statistical test for which the distribution of the test statistic under the null hypothesis can be approximated by a normal distribution.
- One of the most common statistical tests for qualitative data is the chi-square test (both the goodness of fit test and test of independence).
-
Standardized Tests
- A standardized test is a test that is administered and scored in a consistent manner.
- A standardized test is a test that is administered and scored in a consistent manner.
- Finally, critics have expressed concern that standardized tests may create testing bias.
- Testing bias occurs when a test systematically favors one group over another, even though both groups are equal on the trait the test measures.
- Critics allege that test makers and facilitators tend to represent a middle class, white background and standardized testing matches the values, habits, and language of the test makers.

Tips for Testing Series
- Convergence tests are methods of testing for the convergence or divergence of an infinite series.
- Convergence tests are methods of testing for the convergence, conditional convergence, absolute convergence, interval of convergence, or divergence of an infinite series.
- When testing the convergence of a series, you should remember that there is no single convergence test which works for all series.
- Here is a summary for the convergence test that we have learned:
- The integral test applied to the harmonic series.

Standardized Tests
- Standardized tests are identical exams always administered in the same way so as to be able to compare outcomes across all test-takers.
- Standardized tests are assessments that are always administered in the same way so as to be able to compare scores across all test-takers.
- Standardized tests are usually created by a team of test experts from a commercial testing company in consultation with classroom teachers and university faculty.
- Standardized tests are perceived as being "fairer" than non-standardized tests and more conducive to comparison of outcomes across all test takers.
- Some recent standardized tests incorporate both criterion-referenced and norm-referenced elements in to the same test.

The t-Test
- A t-test is any statistical hypothesis test in which the test statistic follows a Student's t-distribution if the null hypothesis is supported.
- A t-test is any statistical hypothesis test in which the test statistic follows a Student's t-distribution if the null hypothesis is supported.
- Gosset devised the t-test as a cheap way to monitor the quality of stout.
- Gosset's work on the t-test was published in Biometrika in 1908.
- The form of the test used when this assumption is dropped is sometimes called Welch's t-test.

Exercises
- In general, are rank randomization tests or randomization tests more powerful?
- What is the advantage of rank randomization tests over randomization tests?
- Test whether the differences among conditions for the data in Problem 1 is significant (one tailed) at the .01 level using a rank randomizaton test.
- (S) Test the difference in central tendency between the two conditions using a rank-randomization test (with the normal approximation) with a one-tailed test.
- (SL) Test the difference in central tendency between the four conditions using a rank-randomization test (with the normal approximation).

t-Test for Two Samples: Paired
- Paired-samples $t$-tests typically consist of a sample of matched pairs of similar units, or one group of units that has been tested twice.
- Paired samples $t$-tests typically consist of a sample of matched pairs of similar units, or one group of units that has been tested twice (a "repeated measures" $t$-test).
- A typical example of the repeated measures t-test would be where subjects are tested prior to a treatment, say for high blood pressure, and the same subjects are tested again after treatment with a blood-pressure lowering medication .
- Note, however, that an increase of statistical power comes at a price: more tests are required, each subject having to be tested twice.
- Paired-samples $t$-tests are often referred to as "dependent samples $t$-tests" (as are $t$-tests on overlapping samples).
