Online Statistics Calculator Assignment

***Update***   I have put the grade data into a new spreadsheet document that should be easier to copy and paste from.

***You must fill out 2 assignment forms for 2 different questions.  (You are doing the assignment twice...see if you can come up with related questions to evaluate.)

***Both assignment forms are due Thursday, December 19th.


Here is the link to the online calculator we will be using.  link to t-test calculator
The following link will get you to the grade data that we will be analyzing.  grade data
This is a link to the assignment questions and form you will be filling out.  assignment form

The first 3 questions on the assignment form are to help me identify you and grade the assignment.  Then next three questions you need to answer after browsing the grade data.  Our discussion in class should also help give you ideas.  The rest of the questions will need to be answered after you paste in the data to the online calculator.  All the calculations will be done for you.  All you need to do is enter the data and then evaluate what the results tell you.

  • Be sure to click on the dot that says "enter or paste up to 2000 rows"
  • Keep the "unpaired t-test" selected.
  • Re-name "group one" and "group two".
  • Copy and paste the necessary data from the "grade data" document.  *note: students were having better luck copying data by using "control c" and "control v" as opposed to right clicking or using the icons on the tool bars. 
  • You can drag and drop a tab into a new window.
  • You can view 2 windows on a split screen by pressing the windows button and the left or right arrow.

Playing around with Google Forms

Please take a moment to complete the form I created.  I would like to practice compiling answers and maybe use this tool for a future lesson.  Thanks for your help.
