Systematic Desensitization
a parametric statistical test used in formal experiments to determine whether there is a significant difference between two groups (i.e., two means); utilized to ascertain if the means of the groups are significantly different from each other; when using, the groups should be normally distributed; a test of significance; simplistic form of the analysis of variance (ANOVA); when computed, it yields a t value which is then compared to a t table and if the t value obtained statistically is lower than the t value (aka critical t) in the table, then you accept the null hypothesis; you computation must exceed the number cited in the table in order to reject null
