u u u u u 1-Sample Z Interval
1-Sample Z Interval calculates the confidence interval for an unknown population mean
when the population standard deviation is known.
The following is the confidence interval.
Left = o – Z α
2
σ
n
Right = o + Z α
2
σ
n
However,
α is the level of significance. The value 100 (1 – α) % is the confidence level.
When the confidence level is 95%, for example, inputting 0.95 produces 1 – 0.95 = 0.05 =
α.
Perform the following key operations from the statistical data list.
4(INTR)
1(Z)
1(1-S)
The following shows the meaning of each item in the case of list data specification.
Data ............................ data type
C-Level ........................ confidence level (0 < C-Level < 1)
σ .................................. population standard deviation (σ > 0)
List .............................. list whose contents you want to use as sample data
(List 1 to 26)
Freq ............................. sample frequency (1 or List 1 to 26)
Save Res .................... list for storage of calculation results (None or List 1 to 26)
Execute ....................... executes a calculation
The following shows the meaning of parameter data specification items that are different
from list data specification.
o .................................. mean of sample
n .................................. size of sample (positive integer)
