Expert Solution
Step 1

t-test are applied only to continuous scale of observations. 

Independent sample t-test is used to compare the means for two different groups. 

Paired sample t test  is used to compare the means of  the sample before and after conducting experiments. 

Chi-square tests are used to  compare to categorical variables. To test the equality of proportion for categorical variables  chi square test for proportion is used. 

Pearson's correlation coefficient is used to find the association between two numerical variables.
