The Creation and Solution of Unique Statistical Problems for Each Student
This study was designed to answer these questions: Can useful computer programs be developed? If such programs can be developed, how much storage is needed and what is the cost per student? Two Fortran programs were developed that created and analyzed data. The two types of analyses were correlational analysis and a t-test of differences between means for independent samples. Each program generated and solved thirty problems. A sample problem and the associated statistical analysis were presented in tabular form for each program. The computed values of r (and t) for each student were reported. These techniques could be used for other types of problems without exceeding the storage of many computers. The cost was substantial.
