2-Sample t Test
Command: TwoSampleTTestⅪ
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.

n-1 : standard deviation of sample 2
n1 : size of sample 1
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.
The t distribution degrees of freedom df and xp
σ
n-1 differ according to whether
the population standard deviations of the two populations are equal.
When the two population standard deviations are equal (pooled)

Command Syntax
Syntax 1 (list format)
“
µ
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)
“
µ
1 condition”, o1 value, x1
σ
n-1 value, n1 value, o2 value, x2
σ
n-1 value, n2 value,
Pooled condition (On or Off)
* “Pooled” can be omitted. Doing so sets “Off” for “Pooled”.
