Answer 1

You didn't tell us whether you are comparing two samples to each other or comparing each sample to a "known truth".

Either way, the formula for the Student's t test is well publicized:

If you are comparing each sample to a "known truth", use the independent one-sample t-test.  If you are comparing two samples which are not strictly related in an one-to-one fashion, use the independent two-sample t-test.

Finally, you may want to try your luck over at Mathematics:

After all, this is more a stats question than a medical question....

Good luck.
