Day 16 - APA

Today, in class, I learned how to estimate standard deviation based on a sample of numbers using the "STDEV" function in Excel. I then took the information that had been calculated and evaluated it to determine if there were significant differences between the pre-test scores of the males and females as well as to determine if there were significant differences between the pre-test scores of the traditional and non-traditional students. Afterward, I inserted the information regarding the significant differences between pre-test scores of the males and females into my Action Research Paper after Table 1 in a form of a TTest, according to APA standards. Thereafter, I inserted the information regarding the significant differences between pre-test scores of the traditional and non-traditional students into my Action Research Paper after Table 2 in a form of a TTest, according to APA standards.
