Click Stat in the top menu. 2. Select Basic Statistics from the dropdown menu and select 2-sample t from the submenu. 3. Using Summary Statistics: Select Summarized data from the dropdown menu and enter the sample size, sample mean, and sample standard deviation for each sample. Using Sample Data: Select Each sample is in its own column from the dropdown menu and select the desired data columns. 4. Click the Options button and enter the confidence level. Enter 0 for Hypothesized difference and select the desired format for the Alternative hypothesis. 5. Leave Assume equal variances unchecked. Check this box only if you want to assume the populations have equal variances—this is not recommended. 6. Click OK twice. Tip: Another procedure is to click on Assistant in the top menu, select Hypothesis Tests and 2-Sample t. Complete the dialog box to get results, including P-value and other helpful information.
