Last Answer : answer:If the data is continuous (or close to it), then I would use this version of the two-sample t-test. You would not have to downsize the sample. The number of degrees of freedom is hard to ... you can use the smaller sample size, minus one, as a conservative estimate. In this case, df > 19.
