T-Test Calculator

Test hypotheses about population means. Choose from one-sample, two-sample, or paired t-tests.

One-Sample T-Test

Test if a sample mean differs from a hypothesized population mean.

How to use this calculator

📊 How to Use This Calculator

  2. Enter your data (one value per line or comma-separated)
  3. Set your hypotheses and significance level
  4. Click the button to perform the test
  5. Review results: p-value, confidence interval, and visualizations

📐 Understanding T-Tests

One-Sample T-Test

Tests if a sample mean differs from a hypothesized value.

Example: Is average height different from 170 cm?

Two-Sample T-Test

Compares means of two independent groups.

Example: Do males and females have different average scores?

Paired T-Test

Compares paired observations (before/after, matched pairs).

Example: Is there a difference before and after treatment?

🌟 Real-World Examples

Example 1: Quality Control

One-sample test: Machine should produce 100g items

Test if actual production differs from target

Example 2: A/B Testing

Two-sample test: Compare conversion rates

Test if design A performs better than design B

Example 3: Medical Study

Paired test: Blood pressure before/after medication

Test if treatment reduces blood pressure

💡 Pro Tips

  • • Check assumptions: normality, independence, equal variances
  • • Use Welch's t-test when variances are unequal
  • • Paired tests are more powerful for related data
  • • Consider effect size, not just p-value
  • • Larger samples make tests more sensitive
  • • Two-sided tests are more conservative

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • • Don't use paired test for independent samples
  • • Check for outliers - they affect t-tests
  • • Don't ignore assumptions (especially normality)
  • • p < 0.05 doesn't mean the effect is important
  • • Multiple testing increases Type I error rate
  • • Small samples may lack power to detect differences
