Assigning Properties

For many properties, you can specify more than one value. Click Add Icon to specify multiple values.
Note: Specify only one value per row.
Properties
Description
Type of Test
Type of t test
performs power and sample size analyses for t tests that involve one sample, paired samples, or two independent samples.
Solve For
requests a solution for power or total sample size.
Analysis Details
Select the assumed distribution of the data
specifies the underlying distribution assumed for the test statistic. By default, the task assumes a normal distribution.
Select the number of sides of the test
specifies the number of sides (or tails) and the direction of the statistical test or confidence interval.
Select a test
specifies whether to perform the Pooled t test or the Satterthwaite t test.
Note: This option is available only for a two-sample test.
Significance Level
specifies the alpha values for the test.
Mean
The available options depend on the type of t test:
  • For a one-sample t test, specify the values of the mean and the null mean.
  • For a paired test or a two-sample t test, the available options depend on the distribution type.
    • For a lognormal distribution, you can calculate the mean ratio, the group means, and the null mean ratio.
    • For a normal distribution, you can calculate the difference between the means, the group means, and the difference for the null mean.
Standard Deviation
Note: This option is available only if you specify a normal distribution.
specifies the values for standard deviation.
  • For a paired test, you can specify a standard deviation for both groups, or you can specify a standard deviation for each group.
  • For a two-sample t test, the standard deviation is assumed to be the same for both groups.
Coefficient of Variation
Note: This option is available only if you specify a lognormal distribution.
The coefficient of variation is defined as the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean on the original data scale.
  • For a paired test, you can specify a coefficient of variation for both groups, or you can specify individual coefficients of variation for each group.
  • For a two-sample t test, the coefficient of variation is assumed to be the same for both groups.
Correlation
Note: This option is available only if you select a paired test.
specifies the correlation between members of a pair.
Sample Size
specifies the sample size and whether to allow fractional sample sizes.
