What is the formula for t-test of independent samples?

In the case of a t-test, there are two samples, so the degrees of freedom are N1 + N2 – 2 = df. Once you determine the significance level (first row) and the degrees of freedom (first column), the intersection of the two in the chart is the critical value for your particular study.

What is the test statistic for an independent t-test?

The test statistic for a two-sample independent t-test is calculated by taking the difference in the two sample means and dividing by either the pooled or unpooled estimated standard error. The estimated standard error is an aggregate measure of the amount of variation in both groups.

How do you find the independent t-test?

To run the Independent Samples t Test:

1. Click Analyze > Compare Means > Independent-Samples T Test.
2. Move the variable Athlete to the Grouping Variable field, and move the variable MileMinDur to the Test Variable(s) area.
3. Click Define Groups, which opens a new window.
4. Click OK to run the Independent Samples t Test.

How do you find the t-test statistic?

Paired Samples T Test By hand

1. Example question: Calculate a paired t test by hand for the following data:
2. Step 1: Subtract each Y score from each X score.
3. Step 2: Add up all of the values from Step 1.
4. Step 3: Square the differences from Step 1.
5. Step 4: Add up all of the squared differences from Step 3.

What are the three types of t-tests?

There are three types of t-tests we can perform based on the data at hand:

• One sample t-test.
• Independent two-sample t-test.
• Paired sample t-test.

What does the t statistic tell you?

The t-value measures the size of the difference relative to the variation in your sample data. Put another way, T is simply the calculated difference represented in units of standard error. The greater the magnitude of T, the greater the evidence against the null hypothesis.
