How do I perform paired t test with only means, standard deviation, and sample size?

I have a set of means and standard deviations with their corresponding sample sizes and I would like to do paired t test on each of them. I would like to put it all here but there are too many. Is there an algorithm that I can use and apply for everything? Thank you.

I’m not certain what ‘set of’ means. If you have two means, standard deviations and sample sizes (that for a paired t-test should be the same), calculate the t-statistic from the information in Paired samples and Independent two-sample t-test. The programming is straightforward.

If you have more than two in your set and you are doing multiple comparisons (for example a repeated measures design), this becomes much more complicated, Use the Bonferroni or other correction for multiple comparisons.

See a textbook on test statistics for details.
