Introduction
This chapter describes how to use the HP 49G to analyze data statistically.
You can use the HP 49G to analyze two broad categories of statistics:
* Descriptive statistics enables you to calculate values such as the
mean, the variance, and the standard deviation. You can also apply
regression techniques to the data to fit a symbolic model to it.
® Inferential statistics enables you to calculate values such as
confidence intervals. You can also perfonn hypothesis tests based on
the Normal Z- and Student’s t-distributions.
The inferential statistics applications includes online help. On any of
the inferential statistics screens, press
HELP
to display help on how to
complete the screen.
