The user now can start entering

data on the space provided and
can edit using the Up and Down
Arrow keys.

Once the data are entered, the user

can immediately press the
Compute button so that the
computer can calculate the values.
Then, s/he can recheck the values
for accuracy of solution and
Decision procedure. Clicking the formula
will show the solution.

The user can also use other

buttons to the left to facilitate the
entry of data especially when the
data are already contained in the
file.

The Decision button will tell the

user at once the suggested status
either to reject or to accept the
null hypothesis.

The user can also click on the

Table to verify other values in the
Table
table.
