Abstract
This statistical paper discusses the suitability and significance of using the WeChat group in class, and identifies the main reasons why students use the WeChat group. We designed a questionnaire to collect data, including how long students have been using the WeChat group, how many WeChat groups students have, and the main purpose for students to use the WeChat group. After we collected enough data, we determined whether there was any correlation between the purpose of students using the WeChat groups and other factors. To figure these problems out, we use the regression line model, chi-square test, t distribution, and some simple diagrams. The results suggest some differences between girls and boys using the WeChat group. According to the questionnaire survey data and various analysis methods, it can be concluded that the construction of WeChat groups plays a very important role in teachers' teaching, learning, and discussion among classmates and maintaining relationships. Moreover, some purposes do not have divergence.
