o1 : mean of sample 1 data

n2 : 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.

Command Syntax
Syntax 1 (list format)
“∝1 condition”, List(1), List(2), Freq(1) (or 1), Freq(2) (or 1), Pooled condition (On or Off)
*“Freq” can be omitted. Doing so sets “1” for “Freq”.
*“Pooled” can be omitted. Doing so sets “Off” for “Pooled”.
Syntax 2 (parameter format)
“∝1 condition”, o1 value, 
* “Pooled” can be omitted. Doing so sets “Off” for “Pooled”.
