Z
Confidence Interval
1-Sample
Z
Interval
Menu: [Interval]-[One-Sample ZInt]
Description: This command obtains the confidence interval for the population mean when
the population standard deviation is known.
The confidence interval is obtained using the following expressions.
Lower = o – Z
2
n
Upper = o + Z
2
n
A
is the significance level, and 100 (1 –
A
)% is the confidence level. When the
confidence level is 95%, for example, you would input 0.95, which produces
A
= 1 – 0.95 = 0.05.
Definition of Terms
C-Level : confidence level (0
C-Level < 1)
σ
: population standard deviation (
σ
> 0)
List : list where sample data is located
Freq : frequency of sample (1 or list name)
M
: sample mean
n
: sample size (positive integer)
Calculation Result Output
Lower : interval lower limit (left edge)
Upper : interval upper limit (right edge)
M
: sample mean
s
x
: sample standard deviation (Displayed only for list format.)
n
: sample size
Example 1 (calculation with list)
list1 : { 299.4, 297.7, 301, 298.9, 300.2, 297 }
Population standard deviation : 3
Significance level : 5% ( = confidence level : 95%)
