Two-Sample T-Test

Menu name

T-Test: μ1 – μ2

 

 

The Two-sample T-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 H 0: μ1 = μ2.

 

You select one of the following alternative hypotheses

 

against which to test the null hypothesis

 

 

 

H1:μ1 < μ2

 

 

 

H1:μ1 > μ2

 

 

 

H1:μ1 ≠ μ2
