A simple method for performing t tests of the differences between means of independent groups, matched groups, and paired observations is presented and illustrated.

Statistical tables are provided which markedly reduce the number of calculations to be performed. The method provides a clearcut way of graphically representing t test data relative to chosen significance levels.
