How can I perform a two sample t-test if one sample is small (n<30) and one sample is large (n>30). The usual method is giving wrong results. What should I do?

$\begingroup$ This should work perfectly well so there may be a slip in your calculations. Please edit in how you know it is giving the wrong results. $\endgroup$– mdeweyCommented Dec 31, 2016 at 13:31

When you perform t test for unequal sample size, your test loses in strength. Maybe your p value doesn't express the "right" answer because of it. Please check other people's questions about it, as here.
