Online Tools:

• Analysis of a single data set (one treatment) - Finds basic statistical properties, calculates confidence intervals at a given level, and tests normality.
• Analysis of two data sets (two treatment) - Finds basic statistical properties, calculates confidence intervals at a given level, performs hypothesis tests, and tests normality.
• Error Propagation - Given a function, the value of its variables and their error, this script calculates the error in the calculated value.
