How to use the Homework Checker!

1. Type your answer into each blank box. Round to 2 decimal places where appropriate.
2. Select your choice from the dropdown menu for interpretability
3. The box will turn green if your answer is correct
4. The box will turn red if your answer is incorrect - try again!
5. For this practice question, try entering the values shown below to see the green check marks

Here is a practice question to help you understand how to use the answer checker:

Example Variable: sample_var

Mean: 5.25, SD: 2.1, SEM: 0.66

Mean: | SD: | SEM:

Is the mean interpretable? No - this is a label, not a variableYes - this is a quantitative variableYes - this is a binary variableNo - this is a multiple-category variable
