t-test: Independent samples

How to perform an independent samples t-test in jamovi:

1. You need at least one continuous dependent variable, and a grouping variable with two levels (e.g. treatment / control).
   A correct setup should look similar to this:

   

   
   
2. Select Analyses → T-Tests → Independent Samples T-Test.

   

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

   

   
   
4. The result is shown in the right panel.
