Cell E8 contains our entry for the Hypothesized Mean Difference.Cell E7 contains the Pearson Correlation which indicates that the two variables are rather closely correlated.Cells E6 and F6 contain the number of observations in each sample.Cells E5 and F5 contain the variance of each sample.Cells E4 and F4 contain the mean of each sample, Variable 1 = Beginning and Variable 2 = End.Uncheck Labels since we did not include the column headings in our Variable 1 and 2 Ranges.This means that we are testing that the means between the two samples are equal. Enter "0" for Hypothesized Mean Difference.This is our second set of values, the values recorded at the end of the school year. This is our first set of values, the values recorded at the beginning of the school year.



This value can be negative or positive, depending on the data. The result of this tool is a calculated t-value. two samples of math scores from students before and after a lesson. Paired t-tests are typically used to test the means of a population before and after some treatment, i.e. This test does not assume that the variances of both populations are equal. The t-Test Paired Two-Sample for Means tool performs a paired two-sample Student's t-Test to ascertain if the null hypothesis (means of two populations are equal) can be accepted or rejected.
