What is a Two Sample T Test?

A Two Sample T Test is used to see if there is a significant difference in the means of two independent groups. This test is frequently used in experiments and research to compare two groups and draw conclusions about the population mean.

Features of Our Two Sample T-Test Calculator

Direct Data Entry: Enter each sample's raw data values directly into the calculator.
Summary Statistics: If you have summary statistics rather than raw data, please provide the sample size, mean, and standard deviation.
Hypothesis Testing: Determine whether your null and alternative hypotheses are two-tailed, right-tailed, or left-tailed.
Significance Level: Enter the significance level (alpha) for the test.
Variance Type: For more accurate results, select either equal or unequal variance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between equal and unequal variances?
A: Equal variance assumes that the two populations have equal variance, whereas unequal variance does not make this assumption. Selecting the proper option guarantees accurate results.

Q: How do I determine whether to conduct a two-tailed, right-tailed, or left-tailed test?
A: It depends on your research hypothesis. If you want to find a significant difference, conduct a two-tailed test. If you predict the first sample's mean to be greater than the second, perform a right-tailed test. If you predict the first sample's mean to be less than the second, perform a left-tailed test.
