Averages provide a single-number summary of response on a single-response scaled question. Averages is our version of 'mean scores' in research-speak.
Introducing Averages into Upsiide means that you can now more quickly distill complex data into a single number. This allows you to understand the data more quickly and/or convert the data into something more meaningful quickly.
Here you can see Averages in the context of our Idea Split module:
In order to turn Averages 'on' for your single-select scale questions, simply toggle 'Add Scale' (within Settings) in the question builder.
The introduction of Mean Scores into the platform means that you can now run a different type of stat-testing (t-tests) which often requires smaller sample sizes to find significant differences.
