Test a null hypothesis involving the means of two populations by performing a Student's T-test.
Details
The t-test is any statistical hypothesis test in which the test statistic follows a Student's t-distribution under the null hypothesis. Compute a t-test by selecting a numerical test variable and a categorical grouping variable.
The null hypothesis can be configured using the other parameters, for example you can choose between a one sided or two sided test and change the difference in means expected in the null hypothesis.
Output
The first section of the output is the printed output of a t.test run in R. There are more details on this printed output in the R documentation for t.test.
The output also includes a plot comparing the densities and means of the selected groups.
