About the Inference aplet
The Inference capabilities include calculation of 
confidence intervals and hypothesis tests based on the 
Normal Z-distribution or Student’s t-distribution. 
Based on the statistics from one or two samples, you can 
test hypotheses and find confidence intervals for the 
following quantities:
• mean
• proportion
• difference between two means
• difference between two proportions
Example data When you first access an input form for an Inference test, 
by default, the input form contains example data. This 
example data is designed to return meaningful results that 
relate to the test. It is useful for gaining an understanding 
of what the test does, and for demonstrating the test. The 
calculator’s on-line help provides a description of what 
the example data represents.
Getting started with the Inference aplet
This example describes the Inference aplet’s options and 
functionality by stepping you through an example using 
the example data for the Z-Test on 1 mean.
