row-tTests

Introduction

Origin provides two tools to compare the means of two samples, which are stored in rows

• Two-Sample t-test on Rows
• Pair-Sample t-test on Rows

The two sample t-test and paired-sample t-test are to determine if the means of two samples are equal. If the two samples are two independent samples from a normal distribution, two-sample t-test can be used. and If the two-samples are paired (or related, matched), we will consider paired-sample t-test.
