Stat > Basic Statistics > 2-Sample t

Performs an independent 2-sample t-test and generates a confidence interval.

When you have dependent samples, use Stat > Basic Statistics > Paired t.

Use 2-Sample t to perform a hypothesis test and compute a confidence interval of the difference between two population means when the population standard deviations, s's, are unknown. For a two-tailed 2-sample t

H0: m 1 - m 2 = d 0     versus     H1: m 1 - m 2 ≠ d 0

where m 1 and m 2 are the population means and d 0 is the hypothesized difference between the two population means.

Dialog box items

Both samples are in one column: Choose if the sample data are in a single column, differentiated by sample IDs in a second column.

Samples: Enter the column containing the data.

Sample IDs: Enter the column containing the sample IDs.

Each sample is in its own column: Choose if the data of the two samples are in separate columns.

Sample 1: Enter the column containing one sample.

Sample 2: Enter the column containing the other sample.

Summarized data: Choose if you have summary values for the sample size, mean, and standard deviation for each sample.

Sample 1

Sample size: Enter the value for the sample size.

Sample mean: Enter the value for the mean.

Standard deviation: Enter the value for the standard deviation.

Sample 2

Sample size: Enter the value for the sample size.

Sample mean: Enter the value for the mean.
