T.TEST function

The T.TEST function is one of the statistical functions. It is used to return the probability associated with a Student's t-Test. Use T.TEST to determine whether two samples are likely to have come from the same two underlying populations that have the same mean.

Syntax​

T.TEST(array1, array2, tails, type)

The T.TEST function has the following arguments:

ArgumentDescription
array1The first range of numeric values.
array2The second range of numeric values.
tailsThe number of distribution tails. If it is 1, the function uses the one-tailed distribution. If it is 2, the function uses the two-tailed distribution.
typeA numeric value that specifies the kind of t-Test to be performed. The possible values are listed in the table below.

The type argument can be one of the following:

Numeric valueThe kind of t-Test
1Paired
2Two-sample equal variance (homoscedastic)
3Two-sample unequal variance (heteroscedastic)
