¯ x ................................... mean of sample
x σ n -1 ............................. sample standard deviation ( x σ n -1 > 0)
n .................................. size of sample (positive integer)
After setting all the parameters, use c to move the highlighting to “Execute” and then press
the function key shown below to perform the calculation.
• 1 (CALC) ... Performs the calculation.
Calculation Result Output Example
Left ............................... confi dence interval lower limit (left edge)
Right ............................. confi dence interval upper limit (right edge)
o ................................... mean of sample
x σ n -1 ............................. sample standard deviation
n .................................. size of sample
u 2-Sample t Interval
2-Sample t Interval calculates the confi dence interval for the difference between two
population means when both population standard deviations are unknown. The
t interval is
applied to
t distribution.
The following confi dence interval applies when pooling is in effect. α is the level of
signifi cance. The value 100 (1 – α ) % is the confi dence level.
