The following pages explain various statistical calculation methods based on the principles described above. Details concerning statistical principles and terminology can be found in any standard statistics textbook.

On the initial STAT mode screen, press 3(TEST) to display the test menu, which contains the following items.

3(TEST)1(Z) ... Z Tests (page 6-5-2)

2(t) ... t Tests (page 6-5-10)

3(CHI) ... χ2 Test (page 6-5-18)

4(F) ... 2-Sample F Test (page 6-5-20)

5(ANOV) ... ANOVA (page 6-5-22)

kZ TestsuZ Test Common Functions

You can use the following graph analysis functions after drawing a Z Test result output graph.

1(Z) ... Displays z score.

Pressing 1(Z) displays the z score at the bottom of the display, and displays the pointer at the corresponding location in the graph (unless the location is off the graph screen).

Two points are displayed in the case of a two-tail test. Use d and e to move the pointer. Press J to clear the z score.

2(P) ... Displays p-value.

Pressing 2(P) displays the p-value at the bottom of the display without displaying the pointer.

Press J to clear the p-value.

u1-Sample Z Test

This test is used when the population standard deviation is known to test the hypothesis. The 1-SampleZ Test is applied to the normal distribution.
