All of this is great. it is far better than someone saying ''use technology'' and nothing else. not everyone knows HOW to use the technology. I have learned FAR MORE HERE than with the ''use technology'' person. Now this is weird but for the last example of the shoes, I did it 5 times because i get a different end result then here, and i rechecked my L-1 20 times. but I am ok with it, the method is what counts, yes I know I need to match the correct numbers, but I KNOW HOW TO DO IT NOW. Most of my results match but the 2 'big' numbers are slightly off, i will re do them again. T.Y.

TY very much for your awesome math videos. They have helped a lot with me learning how to use my TI-84Plus calculator. I do have one question-How do you get the calculator keys to appear on the side of the screen? Is it a font that can go into Microsoft Word? My teacher is requiring that we list what keys we pressed on our calculator to get to our answer and if there is a font or clip art I can add to the word document I use to turn in my work it would save me a huge amount of typing.

Hi Ashley, I think there may be an error in your flowchart. We need to confirm that we have over 30 values or know that the population is Normally distributed to use either ZInterval or TInterval. After that confirmation, we check to see if we are given the Population Standard Deviation to decide on which TI app to use.

@opasatempos4 жыл бұрын
It is assumed that the question gives the population standard deviation, thus she did not mean what you are sure of. That's why in the video Dr. Ashley uses the Z-interval. A Z-interval is used when population standard deviation is known, whereas if the population standard deviation is not known then a T-interval must be used.
@ballakd207 жыл бұрын
for the example with the t-interval, how did you know it was s and not sigma? It appears to be worded the exact same as ex 1 but you got s and not sigma.

How can I solve this problem in the TI-83? A researcher scholar wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of viruses reproduces. The mean is 11.4 per hour with a variance of 3.24. How large of a sample would be required in order to estimate the mean number of reproductions per hour at the 90% confidence level with an error of at most .16 reproductions.

If you do not know sigma, and even if n > 30, you need to do a T interval. Your video is incorrect. You do not find s and use it in the Z interval.
@AGodboldMath6 жыл бұрын
NO, it is correct and every Elementary Statistic book states this (I have 10 of them and they all confirm). If its normally distributed, and sample size is greater than 30, you can use the sample standard deviation to find the point estimate.
@quantquill6 жыл бұрын
Great videos! To offer a differing experience: I teach business statistics and our online homework platform will count an answer wrong if a student uses z rather than t, regardless of sample size (so students should probably check what their book and prof are expecting). After looking through a few business statistics textbooks, I found: (1) Bowerman, O'Connell, Murphree state it's ok to use z when n > 100; (2) Doane & Seward, and (3) Groebner, Shannon & Fry, advise using t regardless of n. Interesting.
@kelvinella5 жыл бұрын
@@quantquill In most Math Stat class, for n greater or equal to 30, when the population standard deviation sigma is unknown, you can just substitute the sample standard deviation s for sigma. I don't know where you teach? Some community college?
@quantquill5 жыл бұрын
Hi, @@kelvinella , we're talking about whether to use the Z interval or the T interval in the calculator, given a large sample size. Yes, we substitute the sample standard deviation when we don't know population standard deviation. AGodboldMath has textbooks which state that when n > 30, it's okay to use the Z Interval, because s is expected to be close enough to sigma. My textbooks state this is okay when n > 100, or (in 2 of the books) we must always use the t distribution, regardless of sample size. Here's an illustration of the difference in final answers: Construct a 95% confidence interval for xbar = 80, s = 12, n = 100. If you use Z Interval, it's (77.648, 82.352) and with T Interval it's (77.619, 82.381). Students should consult their textbook or professor to see what is expected.
