Introduction

You will learn here some basic statistics  - computed both by hand and with the spreadsheet program Excel - and then use these skills to make some "decisions."  The two activities/assignments are in the links Excel 1 and Excel 2, below.

Resource Materials

HERE are the basic Math and Excel skills you will need.  We'll discuss all of them before you start the exercise Excel 1.

HERE are additional (more complete) Excel Resources, available from Virginia Montecino  

If you have a question that neither these materials nor your seminar leader can answer, you can email me at mgabel@gmu.edu.
