Two-Sample T-Test

Menu name

T-Test: μ1 μ2

 

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, Η0: μ1 = μ2.

 

You select one of the following alternative hypotheses

 

against which to test the null hypothesis:

 

H0: μ1 < μ2

 

H0: μ1 > μ2

 

H0: μ1 μ2
