How to Find a T-Ratio Using a Texas Instrument TI83 Calculator

A t-ratio is the distribution of the ratio of two random variables arranged in a t-distribution, or a graph of the mean of a small sample size. Basically, it's the graph or the mathematical description of the graph of a small number of variables. The TI-83 is a graphing calculator with many options, and it's well suited to finding a t-ratio. This process is also known as a t-test.

Instructions

    • 1

      Gather the variables you want to test, as well as the m0 variable that goes with the set. This t-test will find the t-ratio for your sample set.

    • 2

      Press "Stat," then "1" to enter the first list of variables. Enter each one and press "Enter." If any of the variables are smaller than one, make sure you put a zero before it. For example, ".3" should be written "0.3."

    • 3

      Press "2nd" (which activates the second meaning of each button, written smaller above the main ones), and "Mode" to get back to the home screen.

    • 4

      Press "Stat" and use the arrow keys to navigate left to the "Tests" menu. Scroll down or press "2" for the t-test, and scroll right to select "Data." Press "Enter" again.

    • 5

      Enter the m0 number, then scroll down to "Calculate" and press "Enter." The number after the letter "t" is the t-ratio.
