T-test for dependent groups

Explanation:

This is because this type of test compares the means of two related groups to see if there is a statistically significant difference between these means.

A T-test for dependent groups is an example of a "within-subjects" or "repeated-measures" test. This means that the same participants are tested more than one time. "Related groups" indicates that the same participants are present in both groups.
