…the variances are not know or one or both sample sizes are less than 30, then the t test must be used.
For independent samples the F test must be used to determine whether or not the variances are equal.
For dependent samples the dependent samples t test is used.
A z test is used to compare two proportions.
Conclusions
Special z and t tests allow researchers to compare population parameters, such as means or proportions.
