Is there a corrected version of the help entry for the TTEST function in the Statistics Toolbox?

2 views (last 30 days)
When I type
help ttest
it gives me the following information in the second sentence:
[H,P,CI,STATS] = TTEST(X,M,ALPHA,TAIL) performs a T-test to determine
if a sample from a normal distribution (in X) could have mean M.
This should be:
[H,P,CI,STATS] = TTEST(X,M,ALPHA,TAIL) performs a T-test to determine if a normal distribution could have mean M, given the sample X.

This bug has been fixed for Release 14 (R14). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:
The help should begin:
H = TTEST(X) performs a T-test of the hypothesis that the data in the vector X come from a distribution with mean zero, and returns the result of the test in H.
