T-test functions
T-test functions are used for statistical examination of two population means. A two-sample t-test examines whether two samples are different and is commonly used when two normal distributions have unknown variances and when an experiment uses a small sample size.
In the following sections, the t-test statistical test functions are grouped according to the sample student test that applies to each type of function.
Use the drop-down on each function to see a brief description and the syntax of each function. Click the function name in the syntax description for further details.
