EXCEL T.TEST FUNCTION

The T.Test function in Excel computes the probability associated with the Student’s T Test, which is often used to determine if two data sets are likely to have come from the same two underlying populations with the same mean.

Syntax :

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

Parameters :

  • array1 – The initial data collection.

  • array2 gives the next data set (must have the same length as array1).

  • tails – The distribution’s number of tails. This might be either:

    1 – Employs the one-tailed distribution
    2 – Makes use of the two-tailed

  • distribution – An integer indicating the kind of t-test. This might be either:
    1 – Paired T-Test
    2 – Two-sample equivalence T-Test
    3 – Two-sample uneven variance T-Test

     

Step By Step Guide of T.TEST Function

Example :

The spreadsheet on the bottom has two data arrays in columns A and B.

The spreadsheet on the bottom has two data arrays in columns A and B.

For the two arrays of data, the probability associated with the Student’s paired t-test with a one-tailed distribution may be determined using the Excel T.Test function as follows:
=T.TEST(B1:B13,A1:A13,1,1)

This yields the value 0.367357504.

For the same two sets of data, the probability associated with the Student’s paired t-test with a two-tailed distribution is computed as follows:
=T.TEST(A2:A10,B2:B10,2,1)

This yields the value 0.455366344.

T.Test Function
  • #N/A – Occurs if the lengths of the two given arrays disagree.

  • #NUM! – If any of the following criteria is encountered: The tails argument given can have any value other than 1 or 2. or The given type parameter is not one of one, two, or three.

  • #VALUE! – Occurs when either the supplied tails or type arguments are non-numeric.
