Look Who Learned How To Use a Smart Board! Statistical Tests

I have to admit that I am an old dog that doesn't like learning new tricks and I have always been suspicious of new technology. That said, my first experience using the Smart Board seemed like a great success.

I will attach the notes from today's lecture below. I hope that my elementary school teachers never see these slides because they would be horrified at the quality of my penmanship and spelling.

Chapter 4. Comparing Means

Expected Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course a fully engaged student should be able to

1) determine when you need to use a t-test to help you test your hypothesis

2) determine which type of t-ttest you should use (i.e., one-tailed vs two-tailed test, paired vs unpaired test)

3) use Excel to perform a t-test on the computer

4) use the output of the statistical tests to correctly draw conclusions
