Confidence intervals

The confidence interval calculations that the HP Prime can
perform are based on the Normal Z-distribution or
Student’s t-distribution.

One-Sample Z-Interval

Menu name

Z-Int: 

This option uses the Normal Z-distribution to calculate a
confidence interval for , the true mean of a population,
when the true population standard deviation, , is known.

– 

2

This option uses the Normal Z-distribution to calculate a
confidence interval for the difference between the means
of two populations, 

–

, when the population standard

deviations, 

1

and 

2

, are known.
