I want to find if there's a significance between the two levels average mean values from my dependent variable "X," which are "High X" and "Low X."
High X (85 items) + Low X (65 items) = X (150 items)
Both have unequal sample size, but they're from the same group "X." I opted for paired sample t-test, but the output results would only appear N=65 for both groups. I don't think I should run an independent t-test since "High X" and "Low X" technically aren't two unrelated groups since they come from "X." Can anyone help me understand what test I should run? I simply want to know if there's significance between my dependent samples.
