Confidence intervals

The confidence interval calculations that the HP 49G can perform are

based on the Normal Z-distribution or Student’s t-distribution.

One-Sample Z-Interval

Menu name:

Z-INT: 1 |l

This option uses the Nonnal Z-distribution to calculate a confidence
interval for p, the true mean of a population, when the true population

standard deviation, a, is known.

Inputs

X

a

n

C

Results

Critical Z

p min

p max

Sample mean.

Population standard deviation.

Sample size.

Confidence level.

Critical value for Z.

Lower bomid for p.

Upper boimd for p.

Two-Sample Z-Interval

Menu name:

Z-INT: pi- p2

This option uses the Normal Z-distribution to calculate a confidence
interval for the difference in the means of two populations, pj and P

2,

when the population standard deviations, and

02 are known.

Inputs

X

1

Sample 1 mean.

x2

Sample 2 mean.

0l

Population 1 standard deviation.

02

Population 2 standard deviation.

nl

Sample 1 size.

n2

Sample 2 size.

C

Confidence level.
