Weighted Subset Total Count 1,039,746 86,933,138,666
Weighted Sample Total Count 1,255,411


(1) Find Midpoint of data ranges - Column (B)
(2) Multiply Weighted Counts (A) by Midpoints (B) to generate (C)
(3) Divide the sum of column (C) by the total weighted response at the bottom of column (A)...
86,933,138,666 divided by 1,039,746 = 83,610
You will notice the calculated average matches the mTAB produced average


Standard Deviation Calculation

For categorized questions, each response is assigned 1 or 2 stat weights. If a single weight is assigned, then this is the value used to calculate the standard deviation. If 2 weights are provided, the midpoint is used.

D = Question Mean - Stat Value as described above
SS = Sum of Squares, D*D*Weighted Response Count, for all table responses
Sample = Sum of all Weighted Response Counts for all table responses

Standard Deviation = SQRT(SS/Sample-1));


The calculation is the same for continuous variables except the actual data values are used instead of stat weight.

D = Question Mean - Response Value
SS = Sum of Squares, D*D*Respondent Weight Count for each response
Sample = Sum of all Respondent Weights for each response

Standard Deviation = SQRT(SS/Sample-1));


Comparison of two population means using T-Statistic

When the two populations have equal variances

\(t = \dfrac{m_1-m_2}{\sqrt{\dfrac{(n_1-1)s_1^2+(n_2-1)s_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}(\dfrac{1}{n_1}+\dfrac{1}{n_2})}}\)

Where
m1 = Mean of the 1st sample
s1 = Standard Deviation of the 1st sample
n1 = Un-weighted Sample of the 1st sample

m2 = Mean of the 2nd sample
s2 = Standard Deviation of the 2nd sample
n2 = Un-weighted Sample of the 2nd sample

Decision rules:
If |t|<1.65 then the two populations are NOT significantly different at 90%
If |t|≥1.65 then the two populations ARE significantly different at 90%
If |t|<1.95 then the two populations are NOT significantly different at 95%
If |t|≥1.95 then the two populations ARE significantly different at 95%


When the two populations have UNEQUAL variances

\(t = \dfrac{m_1-m_2}{\sqrt{\dfrac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{s_2^2}{n_2}}}\)

Where
m1 = Mean of the 1st sample
s1 = Standard Deviation of the 1st sample
n1 = Un-weighted Sample of the 1st sample

m2 = Mean of the 2nd sample
s2 = Standard Deviation of the 2nd sample
n2 = Un-weighted Sample of the 2nd sample

Decision rules:
If |t|<1.65 then the two populations are NOT significantly different at 90%
If |t|≥1.65 then the two populations ARE significantly different at 90%
If |t|<1.95 then the two populations are NOT significantly different at 95%
If |t|≥1.95 then the two populations ARE significantly different at 95%
