| Dec 12, 2019 at 15:11 | comment | added | Leonhard Euler | An excellent point about the central limit theorem. I wasn't aware. t-test is what I'll go with. I'm right in thinking that by taking the log then I'm comparing geometric mean? $(1,4)$ and $(2,2)$ have the same geometric mean and so their logs have the same arithmetic mean? | |
