I'd say T is the random variable with a Student distribution under the 
null, and t is the observed value of the test statitic

What are the capital Ts in the results printed out after using ttest, e.g.,
Pr(T<  t), Pr(|T|>  |t|), or Pr(T>  t)
for the one-tailed and two-tailed HAs? I interpret the p values as the probability that the sample mean came from the null sampling distribution, but what is the English for Pr(T>  t)?
Thanks.
