Statistical Analysis Using Microsoft Excel

EBook Description: Statistical analysis using Microsoft Excel Microsoft Excel spreadsheets have become somewhat of a standard for data storage, at least for smaller data sets. This, along with the program often being packaged with new computers, naturally encourages its use for statistical analyses. This is unfortunate, since Excel is most decidedly not a statistical package. Here�s an example of how the numerical inaccuracies in Excel can get you into trouble. Consider the following data set:

About the Excel AppleScript Dictionary The Microsoft Excel AppleScript dictionary provides comprehensive access for programmatically controlling Excel by using AppleScript. The Excel AppleScript Dictionary is based on the Visual Basic object model for Excel, and as such its terminology and syntax closely mirror the terminology and syntax used in Visual Basic. As a result of this close relationship with Visual Basic, the Excel AppleScript Dictionary might appear more complex, and less "English-like" than other AppleScript Dictionaries.

Creating A Grade Sheet With Microsoft Excel

Creating A Grade Sheet With Microsoft Excel Microsoft Excel serves as an excellent tool for tracking grades in your course. But its power is not limited to its ability to organize information in rows and columns. Using formulas and functions in Excel, you can simplify the grading process. With Excel you can sort students by names, grades or whatever characteristics you choose. You can also setup a grade curve in advance and have Excel automatically assign letter grades (not just percentages) to each of your students. When you change the curve, the grades will change automatically. This tutorial will show you how to setup a grading sheet in Excel that makes use of all these functions plus some other helpful features that will be explained in detail later. This tutorial assumes the reader has a basic understanding of how to navigate a spreadsheet and enter data in cells. A reader who is experienced with Excel and is familiar with entering formulas and the difference between absolute and relative cell references can begin in section three.

The Basics Of Microsoft Excel

The Basics of Microsoft Excel A spreadsheet allows you to enter rows and columns of information and then to manipulate the data in a variety of ways. Spreadsheets can be used to produce reports, extensive calculations, accounting, graphing and charting and problem solving. Cells are the basic building blocks of a spreadsheet. Each cell has an address, which is determined by its column and row position. Columns are indicated by letters (column headers) arranged along the top of the worksheet area, and rows are indicated by numbers (row headers) along the left side. Where the column and row intersects creates a cell with its address indicated by the column letter followed by the row number. For example, the first cell of a worksheet is A1, where column A intersects with row 1. Each Excel worksheet consists of 256 columns (labeled A to IV) and 65,536 rows. This gives you over 16.7 million cells of information per worksheet. A workbook (file) can contain up to 255 worksheets. You are probably limited more by your computer memory than space provided by Excel.

Hands On Practice Ink Aware And Microsoft Excel In The Office

This Hands-On Practice assumes you have a basic understanding of the Microsoft� Windows� operating system. You may find it useful to think of how you normally work with a computer as you go through the lesson. When working at your computer, for example, you use left-, right- or double-clicks, depending on the function you want to perform. Use the SMART Board interactive whiteboard in the same way. If you get confused, simply think about what you would do at your computer, and then replicate these actions on the interactive whiteboard. What Is Ink Aware? Ink Aware integrates SMART Board software with many types of applications, including Microsoft Word, Excel� or PowerPoint�. When you use an application that is ink aware, whatever you write or draw on your interactive whiteboard becomes embedded in the file, rather than an external note created over the file.

Problems With Using Microsoft Excel For Statistics

The confidence interval is a range on either side of a sample mean. For example, if you order a product through the mail, you can determine, with a particular level of confidence, the earliest and latest the product will arrive. � [emphasis mine] The material emphasized, is, of course, a basic misstatement of the meaning of a confidence interval. A last example displays the help given for the standard deviation function. Example: Excel 2000 STDEV Function �STDEV Estimates standard deviation based on a sample.
