TTEST(ar1,ar2,ta,ty)


  • and are the array of values.
  • is the number of distribution tails.
  • is the type of t-test.


Descrition

  • This function gives the probability of the t-test.
  • It is also called student's t-test.
  • This function is used to find the probability of two samples having the same mean but equal or unequal variances.
  • In TTEST(ar1,ar2,ta,ty), ar1 and ar2 are two set of array values.
  • ta is indicating the number of distribution tails. ta value is either 1 or 2.
  • If ta=1,then TTEST uses the one-tailed distrbution.If ta=2, then TTEST uses the two-tailed distrbution.ty is the type of t-Test. ty value is 1 or 2 or 3.

ty value t-Test is performed 1 - Paired 2 - Two-sample equal variance 3 - Two-sample unequal variance

  • Suppose we are giving ta and ty in decimals , then it will converted in to integers.
  • TTEST uses the value of ar1 and ar2 to find non-negative t-statistic.
  • If ta=1, then it gives the probability of a higher value of the t-statistic with consideration of two arrays of samples with the same mean.
  • If ta=2, then TTEST is gives double that when ta=1 and corresponds to the probability of a higher absolute value of the t-statistic with the consideration of same mean.

This function will give the result as error when

     1. ar1 and ar2 have a different number of data points and ty=1.
     2. Any one of the argument is nonnumeric.
     3. ta>2 and ty>3.
