Jump to navigation Jump to search

The test statistic is:

z=x¯y¯σx2m+σy2n

where:

x¯ and x¯ are the average values of variables x and y respectively, where each of these variables represents the data from two independent groups,
the groups have sample sizes of m and n respectively,
σx2 and σy2 are the variances in the two groups,
p=2(1Φ(|z|))
