How do I calculate statistical significance. I conducted an observation in a classroom (1/2 per day (specific time), 5 consecutive days, 12 students in class) to determine the number of times a specific target behaviour occurred (frequency count).
The following week I observed one specific student in the class (1/2 hour per day (specific time), 5 days) to obtain a frequency count of his/her target behavior.
How do I determine if the individual students behavior is one or more standard deviations above the classroom mean for the target behavior.
Classroom: Frequency Count
Day: Total Occurrences
1) 2
2) 3
3) 2
4) 1
5) 3
Total: 11
Mean: 2.2
SD: .84
Individual Student: Frequency Count
1) 2
2) 6
3) 2
4) 2
5) 4
Total: 16
Mean: 3.2
SD: 1.79
