How to Do a T-Test for Beginners

  • In this tutorial, I explain how to perform a t-test on Microsoft Excel 2013. If you are using the freeware Google Sheets, then most of this still applies. The test is really easy to calculate, but understanding the meaning and uses can be frustrating. In this tutorial, I try to explain this with different examples and trying to not get too technical for beginners. Remember, you want a minimum of 10 samples (n=10) for each group of data in order to develop a reasonable bell curve for the t-test to evaluate. Anything less than n=10 does not give us a reasonably accurate calculation. However, the more samples, the better!

    I learned more in 20 minutes than I did in 3 months in a class with a tenured professor.

      I appreciate that. To be fair, I struggled to learn this, but one day it just "clicked". I don't know why it isn't explained in a more simple way to people.

      I also learned MORE in 20 minute from this video than I learned from my boyfriend who has a Phd Degree in Informatik and does heavy-math stuff. As good as they may be, some people are just not cut out for teaching. THANK YOU again.

    Sir, please accept my utmost respect for such an ostentatious explanation of T-test , one tail and two tail test's explanation . You are an exceptionally amazing teacher and have explained from the ground level.Thank you so much for a wonderful contribution to education

    Great. Great explanations. Such a relief when someone teaches something and does not assume the audience has the basics down after explaining it one time before.

    I have clicked through so many videos and had a rough understanding of statistics and p-values (I'm learning from scratch to complete my thesis!) and this video is the first time I finally got it. Holy crap thank you. I wish you were my teacher!

    I spent a whole day trying to understand the t-test and its parameters. This instruction made my day! Very good! Great!

  • @flyingsalmon
    @flyingsalmon 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    This is how statistics should be taught! How I wish he was my teacher back in school...but it's never too late and I learned a lot just from this while I use Excel extensively for various analytics. The reason why he can explain this so beautifully and simply is because he gets it! Opposite is true for those lectures where we're lost/confused.

  • @ncedilemankahla9758
    @ncedilemankahla9758 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    key thing when you want to learn something basic is for the instructor to understand that no knowledge is assumed. This does that well, without the pomposity of trying to show how clever you are. Very useful resource, thank you.
