| 1. | Create an empty hypothesis test by dragging one from the or by choosing . |
| 2. | Choose the type of test you want from the test’s pop-up menu. |
| 3. | Drop attributes on the prompt to have Fathom compute results. In a test, blue text is editable; use it to control the test (e.g., to change the hypothesized mean; we changed it to 38). Some blue text brings up a pop-up menu, as shown here (we’re making this a one-tailed test). |
If you do not drag attributes to the test, you can still do most tests based on summary statistics. Select the test from the pop-up menu, then enter the attribute names, sample size, and so on, in the test. (Some tests, such as ANOVA, require original data, however.)
Once you have an analysis, the menu is active. You can use this menu to change to nonverbose, or terse, mode or to plot a distribution relevant to your test.
