What is a one-sample t-test? Select one: a. Given a two numeric variables, a test for the difference of those variable's population means b. Given a single numeric variable, a test for that variable's population mean c. Given a two numeric variables measured on the same or very similar units, a test for the mean of the differences between those variables d. Given a single categorical variable, a test for that variable's population mean
