Two Sample Means Calculator

Explore questions such as how large a treatment effect is detectable for a given sample size, significance level, desired power, and assumed variability in the data.

versus the two-sided alternative:

where μ1 and μ2 are the true means of the two populations. It is assumed that the populations of interest are normally distributed and that you want to detect a difference of δ between the means.
