Midterm Assigmnent

Today in class we performed a mid term assignment showing how to use excell spreadsheets.  We used formulas and/or functions to perform this task. This was the assignment:

In Excel, use formulas and/or functions to answer the following questions:

How many 1) males, 2) females, 3) traditional 4) non-traditional undergraduates, 5) graduates 6) in-service graduate student that are currently teaching, and 7) total respondents.
What was the average score for each category above 3-6 (trad, non-trad, grad, inservice grad)?
Create a column chart of the averages by group classification (1-4) and move it to its own worksheet. Rename the work-sheet Averages by Group.  Make sure your chart has added data labels to show the values and a heading.
Do a ttest between the highest and lowest average and determine if it is statistically significant.  When conducting the ttest use a 1, 2 for the tails (1) and type (2) fields of the ttest function as we did in class.
Upload, share your doc with me ricpierce@gmail.com, and publish your spreadsheet in Google Docs.
Create a blog post that summarizes the learning and link to your published spreadsheet document.
