Define 'tails' and 'type' better than the TTEST help file.
Please define 'tails' and 'type' better than the TTEST help file. Online
statistics glossarys are of little use. thanks. |
Before collecting the data, did you know which group would be larger if
there was a difference? If so, then you can use tails=1. Otherwise (the difference could have been in either direction) you use tails=2. This is discussed in more detail in any introductory statistics book. Help on TTEST seems quite clear on type, assuming that you have a background comparable to having covered t-tests in an introductory statistics course. The choice is based on how your experiment was designed, and involves more nuances than are easily addressed in a simple newsgroup reply.
