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.
