The capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are utilized increasingly
in today‘s world. The autonomous and adaptive characteristics
allow applications to be more effective and efficient. A certain
subfield of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, is enabling
services to be tailored to a user‘s specific needs. This could prove to
be useful in an information-heavy field such as Statistics. As design
research from SPSS Statistics, a legacy statistical application, has
indicated, statistics beginners struggle to tackle the challenge of
preparing a statistical research study. They turn to several sources
of information in an attempt to find help and answers but are not
always successful. This leads to them being unconfident before
they have even started to execute the statistical study. The adaptive
features of Artificial Intelligence could help support students
in this case, if designed according to established principles. This
thesis investigated the question whether an AI-powered solution
could elevate the users‘ confidence in statistical research studies.
In order to find the answer, a prototype with exemplary User Experience
was designed and implemented. Preceding research determined
the domain and market offer. User research was conducted
to ensure a human-centered outcome. The prototype was evaluated
with real test users and the results answered the question in
the affirmative.
