Two-sided Two-sample T-test

The two independent groups to be compared are of equal size "n",

and to be drawn from populations of equal and known variances.
Below, "alpha" is the level of significance and, invariably, equal to 0.05;
similarly, "beta" is the Type II Error whose complement to 1 is the Power.
"Sigma" is the common standard deviation whereas "sigma^2" is its
square, the common variance. "Delta" is the hypothesized difference
between the two groups, whereas "delta^2" is its square.
"z_(1-alpha/2)" and "z_(1-beta)" are the respective tail areas under the
standard normal curve (we assume that the two means are following
the normal distribution, at least approximately).
The analytical form of the formula is shown below as a graph-let in
sky blue at the bottom of the page, whereas its Excel implementation
follows next.
