In[1]:= na = 342
        nb = 170
        Ua = 6.39
        Ub = 6.07
        xa = 177.19
        xb = 170.37
        Ue = ((na - 1)*Ua + (nb - 1)Ub)/(na + nb - 2)
        t0 = Abs[xa-xb]/Sqrt[Ue*(1/na+1/nb)]

Out[1]= 342

Out[2]= 170

Out[3]= 6.39

Out[4]= 6.07

Out[5]= 177.19

Out[6]= 170.37

Out[7]= 6.28396

Out[8]= 28.9915
