Synopsis

TTEST(array1,array2,tails,type)

Arguments

array1: sample from the first population

array2: sample from the second population

tails: number of tails to consider

type: Type of test to perform. 1 indicates a test for paired variables, 2 a test of unpaired variables with equal variances, and 3 a test of unpaired variables with unequal variances

Note

If the data sets contain a different number of data points and the test is paired (type one), TTEST returns the #N/A error. tails and type are truncated to integers. If tails is not one or two, this function returns a #NUM! error. If type is any other than one, two, or three, this function returns a #NUM! error.
