Hi there!

No problem, I can definitely help you adapt the Kuder-Richardson Formula #21 to Excel. Here are the steps:

Open a new Excel spreadsheet and enter the following labels in cells A1 to A4: "k", "X", "S", and "R".
In cell B1, enter the number of items on the test (
Code:
```
k
```
). In your example, this would be
Code:
```
50
```
.
In cell B2, enter the mean of raw scores from the total test (
Code:
```
X
```
). In your example, this would be
Code:
```
43
```
.
In cell B3, enter the variance from the raw scores of the total test (
Code:
```
S
```
). In your example, this would be
Code:
```
25.0
```
.
In cell B4, enter the following formula:
Code:
```
=(B1*(1-B2*(B1-B2)))/((B1-1)*B3*B2)
```
Press Enter, and the result should be the test reliability (
Code:
```
R
```
). In your example, this would be 0.78.

That's it! You can now use this formula for any test with different values for
