Are two samples from same population?

... Back to the OP - I know we had a discussion about .Net a few days ago; If you are going down the line of these statistical inquiries - might I suggest matlab (if you can afford a license), R (it's free), or Python (also free) might give you more tools out the box?

Thanks! I'd meant to look into R... thanks for reminding me!

Full respect for your approach, backblackdaddy!

Is this not a 2 sample z-test?

For normal distribution only

Yes they are!

No they are not!

Pick the answer you prefer depending on your objectives.

if you are looking for a human being they are.

if you are looking for a model for fast relief they are not

You're welcome to keep posting here (indeed, it's considerably brightened a "statistics" discussion)...

But doesn't nutmeg have a thread for this kind of thing? And so, aren't you depriving him (no I didn't write "depraving him") of content?

This thread reminds me what a wonderful place this could be if the moderators actually banned people for posting nonsense in great threads.
