this is called regression; for a quick example of the relationship
between t-test and regression, try the following:
sysuse auto
ttest gear, by(foreign)
regress gear foreign
you will see that the constant in the regression matches the mean for
foreign=0 while the coefficient for foreign matches the difference from
the t-test; since I did not include anything about the possibly unequal
variances, you will see that the p-values also match (the two-sided
p-value from the t-test matches that in the regression)
