t-test: Independent samples

How to perform an independent samples t-test in jamovi:
  1. You need at least one continuous continuous dependent variable, and a nominal grouping variable with two levels (e.g. treatment / control).
    A correct setup should look similar to this:

    data_format_ttest_independent


  2. Select AnalysesT-TestsIndependent Samples T-Test.

    select_ttest_independent


  3. Drag and drop your outcome variable to Dependent Variables and your grouping variable to Grouping Variable.

    add_var_ttest_independent


  4. The result is shown in the right panel.
