Free replacement for Analysis Toolpak for Microsoft Excel for Mac 2011
In the 'Computing a t Test for a Correlated-Samples Design' video lecture, Prof. Rieber mentioned that the
Data Analysis Toolpak is no longer available free of charge for Excel for Mac 2011.
Fortunately, an alternative is available. AnalystSoft's StatPlus:mac LE is a free replacement of the Analysis
Toolpak. It is compatible with Excel 2004, 2008 and 2011. A Pro version is also available but it seems that
the free variant has most of the functions that were available in the Toolpak.
The Solver tool also becomes available after installing Service Pack 1 for Office for Mac 2011. Here's the link
to the Microsoft support page that shows how to install the Service Pack and enable Solver from the Add-Ins
menu: What happened to the Data Analysis Toolpak or Solver in Excel for Mac 2011? (Links to an external
site.)
Interestingly, on the same page, Microsoft is recommending AnalystSoft's StatPlus:mac LE (a competing
product) as replacement for the Toolpak.
And this is the link for downloading StatPlus:mac LE (Links to an external site.)
I installed both Solver and StatPlus:mac LE on a colleague's MacBook Air and conducted an ANOVA test of
the quiz values just to make sure everything works correctly. When it runs for the first time, StatPlus shows a
message box recommending an update to the Pro version, but that goes away for good with a single check.

Mean
In plain English: The mean is the sum of all the raw scores divided by the total number of scores.
Standard Deviation
In plain English: A standard deviation for a sample (when you do not wish it to be an estimate for the
population) is the square root of... the sum of the squared deviation scores (a person's score minus the
group mean), divided by the total number of people.
Important note: You use N-1 in the denominator when you have a sample but you do wish to use it as an
estimate for the population's standard deviation.

Lloyd's Recommended Textbook
No textbook is required for this course. However, if you want a full and detailed introduction to the concepts
and principles covered in this course, this is the textbook I strongly recommend purchasing:
Spatz, Chris. (2011). Basic statistics: Tales of distributions (10th ed.). Belmont, CA: Wadsworth Cengage.
I really can't say enough about this textbook. Of all the textbooks I've read and used over the years, this is
hands-down the most readable of them all. I had the good fortune to use the second edition over 30 years
ago and still have it and consult it (I bought a more recent edition around 2000). Even when I was taking
advanced statistics as part of my Ph.D., I would turn to this book over and over for reminders and refreshers
of the basics. You will notice that I use several examples from this textbook in this course (giving credit each
time). Although new copies are rather expensive (as are all college textbooks), you can find older editions for
very little cost on Amazon, etc.
(Also there is a Spatz e-guide of his book that is not too expensive on Amazon.co.uk that can be used with
Kindle or iPad)
Collaborative Statistics (Links to an external site.)Illowsky and Dean, a Creative Commons OER (open
educational resource). Lots of great detail, videos, examples, etc.
