Inferential Statistics Cases / MATH200 (TC3, Brown)

Summary: This table organizes procedures for inferential statistics into a chart of Cases. If you print this page, use Landscape mode for best results.

Case Number and Description		Pop. Param.	TI-83/84/89 Procedures
★ The starred cases are not required for TC3 MATH200. For just the MATH200 cases, see Inferential Statistics: Basic Cases.
NUMERIC DATA SRS required: n ≥ 30, or sample is normal with no outliers
0	One pop. mean, known σ	μ	CI: `ZInterval`; HT: `Z-Test`; sample size: MATH200A part 5
1	One pop. mean, unknown σ	μ	CI: `TInterval`; HT: `T-Test`; sample size (optional): MATH200A part 5
1S★	One pop. standard dev.	σ	CI and HT: MATH200B part 5 (not TI-89)
3	Mean difference for paired data	μ_d	CI: `TInterval`; HT: `T-Test`; (optional) List Operations for Paired t Test on TI-83/84
4	Difference of 2 indep. pop. means, unpaired data	μ₁, μ₂ μ₁−μ₂	CI: `2-SampTInt`; HT: `2-SampTTest`; requirements apply to each sample
4S★	Two pop. standard dev.	σ₁/σ₂	CI: n/a; HT: `2-SampFTest`
8★	Equality of several pop means	μ₁, μ₂, μ₃, ...	CI: undefined; HT: `ANOVA`; see also One-Way ANOVA
9★	Linear correlation coefficient	ρ or r	CI and HT: MATH200B part 6 (TI-89 HT: `LinRegTTest`)
10B★	Slope of regression line	β₁	CI and HT: MATH200B part 7 (TI-89 CI: `LinRegTInt`; TI-89 HT: `LinRegTTest`)
10Y★	Predicted values of y	μ_{y\|x_j}, y_j	MATH200B part 7 (not TI-89)
BINOMIAL DATA
2	One pop. proportion	p	CI: `1-PropZInt`; HT: `1-PropZTest` (small sample HT: MATH200A part 3 or `binomcdf`); sample size: MATH200A part 5
2	One pop. proportion	HT requires SRS, 20n ≤ N, and n p_o (1−p_o) ≥ 10 CI requires SRS, 20n ≤ N, and n p̂ (1−p̂) ≥ 10
5	Difference of 2 pop. proportions	p₁, p₂ p₁−p₂	CI: `2-PropZInt`; HT: `2-PropZTest`; sample size: MATH200A part 5
5	Difference of 2 pop. proportions	HT requires SRS, 20n₁ ≤ N₁, 20n₂ ≤ N₂, and (n₁+n₂) p̂ (1−p̂) ≥ 10 CI: SRS, 20n₁ ≤ N₁, 20n₂ ≤ N₂, n₁ p̂₁ (1−p̂₁) ≥ 10, and n₂ p̂₂ (1−p̂₂) ≥ 10
CATEGORICAL DATA SRS required: (a) every E≥5 or (b) no E<1 and no more than 20% of cells have E<5
6	Goodness of fit (GOF) or multinomial	none	CI: undefined; HT: MATH200A part 6 (TI-89: `Chi2 GOF` or Testing Goodness of Fit on TI-89)
7	Independence or homogeneity (in contingency table)	none	CI: undefined; HT: `χ²-Test` or MATH200A part 7 (TI-89: `Chi2 2-way`)
