Worked Examples

Example calculations

See the inputs and their calculated results.

Example 1: Two-tailed t-test, t = 2.0, df = 10

Test Statistic: 2; Degrees of Freedom (for t-tests and chi-squared tests): 10; Type of Test: Two-tailed

P-value: 0.05

Example 2: One-tailed (right) t-test, t = 1.5, df = 20

Test Statistic: 1.5; Degrees of Freedom (for t-tests and chi-squared tests): 20; Type of Test: One-tailed (right)

P-value: 0.025

Example 3: One-tailed (left) t-test, t = -2.5, df = 15

Test Statistic: -2.5; Degrees of Freedom (for t-tests and chi-squared tests): 15; Type of Test: One-tailed (left)

P-value: 0.025
