SOLVED:Agreement of 2 values

This is my first post, so I hope this is the write section for it..

How do you check if 2 values agree with each other (I've seen it called the "comparison test", but I can't find what I'm looking for by google-ing that).

For example, you have

x1=563+-12
x2=545+-38

And you have to find the "ratio". The values are said to agree if R<2 and disagree if R>2

Thanks,
Graham



EDIT: found the answer

R=(x1-x2)/root(sigmax1^2 + sigmax2^2)
