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
: µ
1
= µ
2
).
You select one of the following alternative hypotheses against
which to test the null hypothesis
