Confidence Interval Calculator for a Completion Rate ( 236 )
If you've wanted to provide a confidence interval around a small sample completion rate but just didn't have time to do the math, this calculator does the work for you.

Calculating Sample Size for Task Times (Continuous Method) ( 219 )

Restoring Confidence in Usability Results ( 154 )
Adding confidence intervals to completion rates in usability tests will temper both excessive skepticism and overstated usability findings. Confidence intervals make testing more efficient by quickly revealing unusable tasks with very small samples.

Graph and Calculator for Confidence Intervals for Task Times ( 143 )
Visualizing your task time data is an essential step in understanding its distribution and computing accurate confidence intervals. This calculator creates a dot-plot of your task times, transforms the raw data to adjust for non-normality and computes the intervals.

Sample Size Calculator for a Completion Rate ( 125 )
Use this interactive calculator to understand how the sample size changes will affect the confidence interval around a completion rate.

Interactive Graph of the Standard Normal Curve ( 38 )
Use this interactive normal curve to understand how the z-score and the area of the curve are related. Offers both one and two-sided options.
