Answer to Question 1

C
The t test evaluates the probability that the difference between the group means occurred by chance. Knowing that probability enables researchers to decide whether the independent variable was likely to have caused the difference.

Answer to Question 2

A
The conceptual ratio of the t test is the variance produced by the treatment (treatment variance) divided by the variance from all other sources (subject variance)
