Walkthrough — from sample file to APA sentence

Walk one small survey all the way through. Download the file, upload it, test the difference between two groups, and read the APA-style sentence that comes back — six steps.

This sample is synthetic, made for the walkthrough — not real responses. A difference between the two groups was built in on purpose, so you know in advance what the result will say.

  1. 1

    Download the sample

    One CSV: 60 respondents, six columns (id, gender, age, department, satisfaction, score). It opens in Excel as-is.

    Download the sample (CSV)

  2. 2

    Upload it to Core statistics

    Core statistics runs frequency, descriptives, crosstab, t-test, ANOVA, correlation and regression from one place. Upload the file you just downloaded.

  3. 3

    Choose what to look at

    Ask whether score differs by gender. Pick gender as the grouping variable and score as the test variable, and an independent-samples t-test is set up. If you are unsure which test fits, the screen reads the shape of your data and suggests one first.

  4. 4

    Run it

    A statistics engine does the computing — AI does not produce the numbers. The same data always gives the same result.

  5. 5

    Read the result

    Group means and standard deviations, t and degrees of freedom, the p-value and the effect size arrive in one table, together with whether equal variances held. Below is what this sample actually produced.

    The same answer inside ChatGPT and Claude

    Ask the same question inside an AI conversation and the same engine runs and returns the same numbers. The guide shows how to connect it.

The sentence you can paste

Independent-samples t-tests compared score across levels of gender (N = 60). For score, F (M = 4.11, SD = 0.66) scored significantly higher than M (M = 3.39, SD = 0.71), Student's t(58) = 4.06, p < .001, d = 1.05, 95% CI [0.36, 1.07]. Levene's test indicated equal variances.

This is the engine’s own sentence — the page does not rewrite it.

Paste it into ChatGPT or Claude

Paste this into ChatGPT or Claude with Statory connected and ask for an independent-samples t-test of score by gender. The engine that answers is the one that produced the table above.
