Follow-up Question

I don't think I explained the research scenario effectively.

I don't think it is a two-sample test, because we are comparing our sample (temperature between 1981-2017) on an already known mean which is 1951-1980, with an average temperature of 8.70 degrees Celsius. We are then comparing our sample to the already known temperature between 1951-1980 to see if there is a difference. 

In this case, a two-sample test would not be appropriate. In this case wouldn't a one-sample test be more appropriate?

Follow-up Question

The research scenario states:

decide to look at whether there is a difference between the average temperature in the period between 1951-1980 and the average temperature in the period between 1981-2017.  

Considering that we are interested in the difference.. wouldn't a one-sample t-test be most appropriate?

Follow-up Question

You initially said that the most appropriate statistical analysis for the data is a one sample means t test. Would a one sample t test be more appropriate than a regression?

Follow-up Question

Okay so i am a little confused. So would the most appropriate statistical test be single means t test, regression or a two sample t test?
