kCalculations Using the TEST Command

You can use special functions in the Run-Matrixmode or Program mode to perform calculations that are the same as the Statistics mode Z Test, t Test, and other test calculations (page 6-32).

Example

To determine the z score and p-value when a one-sample Z test is

 

performed under the conditions below:

 

test condition ( condition) 0*, assumed population mean 0 = 0,

 

population standard deviation  = 1, sample mean o = 1, number of

 

samples n = 2

 

* “ condition 0” can be specified by entering 0 as the initial argument of

 

the one-sample Z test command “OneSampleZTest”.

1. From the Main Menu, enter the Run-Matrixmode.

2. Perform the following key operation.

!m(SET UP)2(Line)J

K5(STAT)6(g)1(TEST)1(Z) 1(1-Sample)a,a,b,b ,cw

JJJ

1(LIST)1(List)!-(Ans)w

The following calculation results are displayed as ListAns elements 1 through 4.

1:z score

2:p-value

3:o

4:n
