To distinguish between pericarditis and a heart attack.
Distinguish is similar in meaning to differentiate. An example would be, teachers use tests to distinguish between successful students and unsuccessful students.
A paired samples t-test is an example of parametric (not nonparametric) tests.
Some minerals may have similar physical appearances that make it difficult to distinguish them without conducting specific tests. Color, luster, and hardness are important characteristics that can help identify and classify minerals based on their unique properties. Without these tests, it may be challenging to differentiate between minerals that share similar visual characteristics.
PCR testing should be used to distinguish between M.tuberculosis from other atypical non tuberculous mycobacteria.
Statistical tests like t-tests or ANOVA can be used to determine if two samples are significantly different. These tests compare means of the samples, account for sample size, and calculate a p-value to determine if the difference is significant. A p-value below a chosen significance level (commonly 0.05) indicates that the samples are significantly different.
For unknown solids, tests may include measuring density, melting point, boiling point, and conducting a flame test. For unknown liquids, tests may include measuring density, boiling point, refractive index, and conducting solubility tests with different solvents. Additional tests such as spectroscopy or chromatography may also be used to identify unknown solids and liquids.
The simple answer is you cannot use statistical tests on data collected from quota samples. Unless the sample was collected using a random sampling technique you cannot have any confidence in the results being representative of the population you are sampling. Quota samples are non random. However this does not stop researchers from using statistical tests on quota samples, even if the results can be taken with a pinch of salt!
Chlamydia is typically detected through urine or swab samples, not blood samples. Blood tests are not commonly used for diagnosing chlamydia.

Laboratory tests are used to determine the exact nature of the immunodeficiency. Most tests are performed on blood samples.
