Hello everybody,

I have been stuck on the inferential statistics for a while now and i don't know which once are more appropriate.
I have two sets of numbers (the response time to stimuli) one of the control group and the second of the experimental group. I thought of the t test, which states the statistical significance of the difference of the two sets but i am not sure and maths it's defently not my strength. Thank you very much.

You are correct, an independent t-test sometimes called an unrelated t-test is the appropriate test. You can use this website to calculate it using the unpaired t-test option (for independent measures). If you need help interpreting the calculations let us know .

i think calculations should depend on the hypothesis you had made
