Ttest

During the Excel activity I stated two hypothesis, first one that girls would have more discussions posts that boys, null hypothesis being that girls would have less discussion posts that boys. My second hypothesis was that actual age affects millennial age, more specifically the older one is the younger their millennial age is going to be. Therefore the null hypothesis being that real age has no effect on millennial age. When beginning working on the ttest, I was completely overwhelmed and had no idea where to begin, then I watched the Jing screen cast and felt very confident in my ability to analyze the data. This will improve my teaching ability by being able to analyze test data from class to class or one year to the next. I might be struggling to figure out how to better improve low scores and realize my students from a previous year had low scores also. I like that once the Analysis Data add-on was added in, it would allow me to see if there was any significant difference. I enjoyed how it automatically found mean medium and mode because I will be doing this exact type of analysis for a FBA. Standards reached by this activity dealt with professional groawth mostly because by teachers learning more efficent ways to teach, the better teachers we become. Also the standard which discusses learning through digital means because not only can students compare their own scores but teacher can too.
