Question 3: What and how many samples does the hypothesis involve?

The hypothesis is about:
  1. One sample: if you want to compare the parameter in a given group to a specific value (e.g., whether mean liking = 3)

  2. Independent samples: if you want to compare one parameter across two or more separate groups (e.g., whether mean beer liking is different between men and women)

  3. Related samples: if you want to compare the responses of the same individual amongst each other (e.g. whether women like branded beers as much as they like unbranded beers).
