2-Sample t Test
Menu: [Test]-[Two-Sample TTest]
Description: This command compares the population means of two populations when
population standard deviation is unknown. A 2-Sample t Test is used for t
distribution.
M
1
: sample mean of sample 1 data
M
2
: sample mean of sample 2 data
s
x 1
: sample standard deviation of sample 1
s
x 2
: sample standard deviation of sample 2
n
1
: size of sample 1
n
2
: size of sample 2
This formula is applicable when the population standard deviations of the two
populations are not equal. The denominator is different when the population
standard deviations are equal.
The t distribution degrees of freedom df and s
p
differ according to whether the
population standard deviations of the two populations are equal.

condition : sample mean value test conditions (“ x” specifies two-tail test, “<”
specifies one-tail test where sample 1 is smaller than sample 2, “>”

List(2) : list where sample 2 data is located
Freq(1) : frequency of sample 1 (1 or list name)
Freq(2) : frequency of sample 2 (1 or list name)
Pooled : On or Off
