Here are links to help you perform one-sample t-test:
- online
- this is from VassarStats
- you will be prompted to key in your N as the page opens
- using MS-Excel
- this type of t-test is not really found in Excel but if you know confidence interval, then you'll have an idea whether the null hypothesis should be accepted or rejected
- using SPSS
- click here or here
- the first link is not related to psychology but it has graphics making it easier to follow the directions
- if you have a good internet connection, you might want to view a movie tutorial from Texas A&M University's Statistics Department
It's important to remember that one sample t-test has assumptions that we might be violating. Visit Northwestern University Medical School's StatGuide and find out:
- ways to check if your data violated one-sample t-test assumptions
- ways to examine one-sample t-test results to detect assumption violations
- alternatives if assumptions were violated
