Problem Frequency CalculatorProblem Frequency Calculator
Estimate how many users will experience a problem you see in a small sample usability test by entering the number who encountered the problem and your sample size. Also estimate the probability you can detect problems given your sample size.
Average Task Time CalculatorAverage Task Time Calculator
An excel calculator for task times that provides an easy way to compute the geometric mean, confidence intervals and a 1-sample t-test to compare a sample against a benchmark.
Usability Statistics PackageUsability Statistics Package
Use these sets of calculators to compute the most common statistical tests on usability data.
