Inference app

The Inference app enables you to calculate confidence
intervals and undertake hypothesis tests based on the
Normal Z-distribution or Student’s t-distribution. In
addition to the Inference app, the Math menu has a full set
of probability functions based on various distributions
(Chi-Square, F, Binomial, Poisson, etc.).

Based on statistics from one or two samples, you can test
hypotheses and find confidence intervals for the following
quantities:

mean

proportion

difference between two means

difference between two proportions

Sample data

The Inference app comes with sample data (which you
can always restore by resetting the app). This sample data
is useful in helping you gain an understanding of the app.

Getting started with the Inference app

Let’s conduct a Z-Test on one mean using the sample data.
