The significance level of the hypothesis test given in absolute terms (i.e. 99 percent = 99).
Return Value
boolean a boolean value is returned which is true if we cannot reject the null hypothesis (H0) or false if the null hypothesis can be rejected
Remarks
Further Details
This hypothesis test is performed on the difference between the means of two
samples. That is, if we have two samples: one with mean `mean1', standard deviation
`standardDeviation1' and size 'size1'; and the other with mean `mean2', standard
deviation `standardDeviation2' and size `size2'. Then we conduct the following
statistical test:
H0: mean1-mean2 = dif
Ha: mean1-mean2 != dif, at `s%' significance level.
where `dif' is the claimed difference between the two means and H0, Ha represent
the null and alternative hypothesis respectively.
