This test is used when the population standard deviation is

not known. On the basis of statistics from two samples,

each sample from a different population, this test

measures the strength of the evidence for a selected

hypothesis against the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis

is that the two populations means are equal, 

0

= 

.

You select one of the following alternative hypotheses

against which to test the null hypothesis:
