How to Change the Blue Text in an Analysis

Briefly

Move the mouse pointer over the blue text you want to change. You can either edit it directly, edit a formula for it, or choose an item from a menu.

You can change the blue text in an analysis (a test or estimate) to control how the analysis works. There are three kinds of blue text. You can tell them apart by their behavior and by the cursor that appears when the mouse pointer is over them.

  • Regular, editable blue text. Just edit the text and press or .

  • If the cursor says f(x), the blue value is controlled by a formula. Just click and edit the formula in the editor.

If you want a constant, just enter the constant. If you want it controlled by a slider, enter the name of the slider.

  • If the cursor has a triangle, the blue value is in a menu. Hold the button down and make your choice.

These are used to determine whether you want a one- or two-tailed test, for example.
