hypothesis tests for a/the difference of means
Explanation:
OR difference of means hypothesis test (see the two links below)

Depending on how specific your text is, you might have to favor the term "mean" over the term "average":

"Mean" versus "average"

"If students are asked to find an average, they might initially assume that they are asked to find a mean, but there are other types of averages that are also important. Make sure students are comfortable with the standard terms mean, median, and mode. The three different types of averages can all be calculated from sets of data. "
