t-test: One sample

How to perform a one-sample t-test in jamovi:

1. You need one continuous variable and a mean to test against (typically the mean being tested is zero).
   A correct setup should look similar to this:

   

   
   
2. Select Analyses → T-Tests → One Sample T-Test.

   

   
   
3. Drag and drop your dependent variable to Dependent Variables.

   

   
   
4. Locate the section Hypothesis further down, this is where you enter the mean you want to test against.

   

   
   
5. The result is shown in the right panel.
