Test, Confidence Interval, and Distribution Calculations

7-8 Test, Confidence Interval, and Distribution Calculations

You can use a wizard to perform test, confidence interval and distribution calculations

in the Statistics application or write a program in the Program application. In the Statistics application, you can perform the calculations using the wizard that you launch by tapping [Calc] on the menu bar. The following is a general overview of the steps that are involved.

Statistics Application Calculations

1.Tap [Calc] and then tap [Test], [Interval] or [Distribution].

2.Select the calculation type and data type, then input the necessary values and conditions.

3.Execute the calculation and display its results.

4.Graph the results, if you want.

You cannot graph interval calculations and inverse distribution calculations.

Selecting the [Help] check box of each wizard will display the description of the commands, values and calculation results.

For more details and examples, see “7-9 Tests”, “7-10 Confidence intervals” and “7-11 Distributions”.

Program Application Calculations

1.Use statistical commands to build the necessary expressions and write them into a program.

2.Write the “DispStat” command into the program.

The “DispStat” is a command for displaying statistical calculation results. Statistical calculation results cannot be displayed unless the program includes a “DispStat” command.

3.Save the program.

4.Run the program.
