In Google Sheets, there is a pre-defined function that can help you to perform the T-Test. This tutorial will look at a simple and quick example to understand this.
Steps to Calculate T-Test in Google Sheets
- First, enter that T.TEST function in a cell.
- In the first argument, specify the range with the first data set.
- And in the second argument, specify the range with the second data set.
- After that, specify the tailed distribution in the “tail” argument. It needs to be a numeric value.
- 1 for one-tailed distribution
- 2 for two-tailed distribution.
- In the end, in the “type” argument, you need to enter a numeric value to specify the type of the T-Test.
- 1 for the paired test.
- 2 for the two-sample equal variance test (homoscedastic).
- 3 for the two-sample unequal variance (heteroscedastic).
And the moment you hit enter, it returns a result in the cell.
Tips
- tails and type arguments need to be in numeric values.
- range 1 and range 2 needs need to have the same data points.
