FORMULAS Formula 10-3. Computational formula for the estimated standard error of the mean differences for independent samples (2.0K) This formula is used to compute the estimated standard error of the mean differences. N1 and N2 are the numbers of subjects in the first and second samples, respectively. s12 and s22 are the variances of the two samples. Formula 10-6. Equation for the two-sample t test for independent samples (1.0K) The t ratio for the two-sample t test for independent samples is the difference in sample means divided by
the estimated standard error of the mean differences. When the computational formula for s is substituted in the denominator, the t ratio becomes Formula 10-7. Computational equation for the two-sample t test for independent samples (3.0K) Formula 10-8. Computational formulas for the t test for dependent samples (1.0K) |
