[Nfb-science] Statistics class

[Currin, Kevin]

Hello,

You could definitely do this with excel as a blind user. 

Another simple solution would be to write out your work in notepad or microsoft word. For example, you could write a mean calculation like this:
Step 1 general formula:
x_mu = (x_1 + x_2 + x_3 ... + x_n)/n 

Step 2 fill in values:
x_mu = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5)/5
= 3

The downside to this is you would have to do the calculations in a calculator. Excel would allow you to calculations easier and quicker. You can write text in excel cells, just make sure you adjust your excel cells to expand to the width of the text so that the text doesn't run off the cells.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi,

Thank you for that info. The class uses JASP but it is not accessible. It mostly involves computational analysis. Students typically use Excel to perform computation. Can a blind student effectively do this with Excel?

Thank you,
