MyLab Statistics answers, right inside your homework
Canvas Quiz Solver shows MyLab Statistics answers on the page, under each homework question: z-scores, probabilities, confidence intervals, p-values and multiple choice. You type the answer into MyLab yourself. Below the setup, the topics students get stuck on most each get a worked method with made-up numbers.
Canvas Quiz Solver shows MyLab Statistics (MyStatLab) answers under each homework question (beta). It reads the question, its numbers and its rounding instructions, typed answer boxes, multiple choice and drop-down blanks. You type or pick the answer yourself. StatCrunch and data in a pop-up window are not read yet, and it stays off on tests, quizzes and LockDown Browser.
Works
- Typed answers: numbers and expressions
- Multiple choice and drop-down blanks
- Numbers, tables and rounding rules in the question
- MyLab Statistics homework, beta
You type the answer into MyLab yourself.
Not yet or off
- Not yet: StatCrunch and data in a pop-up window
- Not yet: graphs you draw
- Off: MyLab tests and quizzes
- Off: LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor
It gets around nothing, and it does not type into MyLab.
How it works on MyLab Statistics
Three steps, and you stay the one who answers.
- Add Canvas Quiz Solver to Chrome. It is free to add, and you get free answers to try it on a real question.
- Open your MyLab Statistics homework and open a question. Click the extension icon and tap "Turn on for Pearson". You do this once, and you allow the Chrome prompt.
- Read the answer card under the question. Type the answer into the MyLab answer box, or pick the choice, then click Check Answer yourself.
The honest limits: the extension does not type into MyLab. It is off on MyLab tests and quizzes and on LockDown Browser and Respondus pages. Answers come from AI and can be wrong, so read each one.
What the extension reads in MyLab Statistics
A MyLab Statistics question is usually a short story with numbers, an instruction such as "round to two decimal places", and one or more answer boxes.
Canvas Quiz Solver reads the text, the math and the numbers in the question, and shows the answer under it. For multiple choice it names the choice, and for a drop-down blank it gives the word or value to pick. You type or pick every answer yourself.
Two things it does not read yet. Pearson's help says that when a question needs extra data, you click the magnifying glass icon "to pop up a window containing the data" (Pearson: Do homework); that window is not read. StatCrunch is not read either. When the data sits in one of those places, work the numbers there and use the methods below.
The methods below use made-up numbers. They are not MyLab questions, and your numbers will be different, so follow the steps.
z-scores and the normal distribution
A z-score says how many standard deviations a value sits from the mean: z = (x − μ) / σ.
Find z first, then read the area from the standard normal table or your calculator. "Less than" is the area to the left; "more than" is 1 minus that area; "between" is the larger left area minus the smaller one.
Scores are normal with μ = 70 and σ = 8. Find the z-score of 82 and the probability that a score is more than 82. Round the probability to four decimal places.
The table gives 0.9332 to the left of z = 1.5, so the right tail is 0.0668.
Common input mistake: giving the left area when the question asks for "more than".
Standard error of the mean
The standard error is the standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size: σ / √n.
It gets smaller as the sample gets bigger. Questions about "the sampling distribution of the sample mean" use it in place of σ when you find a z-score for x̄.
A sample of 40 scores comes from a population with σ = 8. Find the standard error of the mean. Round to two decimal places.
Keep all the digits until the last step, then round once.
Confidence intervals
An interval is the estimate plus and minus the margin of error: estimate ± critical value × standard error.
For a mean with a known σ, the critical value is z*: 1.645 for 90%, 1.96 for 95% and 2.576 for 99%. When the question says to use the t-distribution, take t* from the t table with n − 1 degrees of freedom. For a proportion, the estimate is p̂ = x / n and the standard error is √(p̂(1 − p̂) / n).
A sample of 36 has x̄ = 52, and σ = 6 is known. Build a 95% confidence interval for μ. Round to two decimal places.
Type the lower bound first, in the box for the lower bound.
Hypothesis tests and p-values
Compute the test statistic, find its tail area, and compare the p-value with α.
For a two-tailed test, double the one-tail area. If the p-value is less than or equal to α, reject H0; if not, fail to reject H0. When the decision is a drop-down blank, read the wording of each option before you pick.
The test statistic is z = 2.10 for a two-tailed test at α = 0.05. Find the p-value to three decimal places and state the decision.
The question asks for three decimal places, so type 0.036, not 0.0358.
Why posted MyLab Statistics answer keys miss
A solution file or a forum answer solves a question that is not yours.
Pearson says that with algorithmic variations, "for each student and attempt it will generate a new set of variables" (Pearson on MyLab and cheating). Even when the topic matches, a different sample size changes the standard error, and the interval with it.
The methods above work with any numbers, and the extension reads your question with your numbers. If a right answer still comes back wrong, the usual cause is format or rounding: see why MyMathLab marks a right answer wrong.
Where it stays off
It is off on MyLab tests and quizzes and on LockDown Browser and Respondus pages.
MyLab instructors can require the Pearson LockDown Browser for a test or quiz (Pearson: Take locked-down tests), and Respondus says MyLab testing tools work with Respondus Monitor (Respondus webinar listing). The extension does not run on MyLab tests or quizzes or on those pages, and it gets around nothing. More in can Pearson MyLab detect cheating.

MyLab Statistics answers: common questions
Does it show MyLab Statistics answers?
Yes, in beta, on homework. The answer card shows under each question, in the same tab, and you type the answer or pick the choice yourself. It stays off on tests, quizzes and proctored pages.
Does it work on MyStatLab?
Yes. If your statistics homework opens in the MyLab player, under the name MyStatLab or MyLab Statistics, it works there in beta. Click the extension icon on the homework page and tap "Turn on for Pearson" once.
Can it read the data in a question?
It reads the numbers and tables printed in the question. Data that opens in a separate window from the magnifying glass icon, and anything you do in StatCrunch, is not read yet.
Does it follow the rounding instructions?
It reads the whole question, including lines like "round to three decimal places". Answers come from AI and can be wrong, so check that the answer you type matches what the question asks.
Does it work on MyLab Statistics tests and quizzes?
No. It is off on MyLab tests and quizzes and on any page in LockDown Browser or with Respondus Monitor. It gets around nothing.
Is there a MyLab Statistics answer key?
Not one that matches your homework. Pearson says its algorithmic variations give each student and each attempt a new set of values. The methods on this page work with any numbers.
Is it free?
You get free answers to try it on a real MyLab question. Unlimited answers are $14.99 a month, or $48.99 for a 4-month semester plan.
