Determining confidence intervals
The application 6. Conf Interval can be accessed by using ‚Ù—
@@@OK@@@. The application offers the following options:
These options are to be interpreted as follows:
1. Z-INT: 1 µ.: Single sample confidence interval for the population mean,
µ, with known population variance, or for large samples with unknown
population variance.
2. Z-INT: µ1−µ2.: Confidence interval for the difference of the population
means, µ

, with either known population variances, or for large
samples with unknown population variances.
