u u u u u 2-Sample t Interval
2-Sample t Interval calculates the confidence interval for the difference between two
population means when both population standard deviations are unknown. The t interval is
applied to t distribution.
The following confidence interval applies when pooling is in effect.
α
is the level of significance.
The value 100 (1 –
α
) % is the confidence level.
