Confidence Intervals Using the TI-84

Objective Find confidence intervals of means and proportions using a graphing calculator.

Relevance Be able to estimate a population parameter from sample statistics.

p Let’s go back to confidence intervals for one sample and learn how to find an interval using our TI-84’s. p On the final exam, you will have to do confidence intervals. For the sake of time, you are encouraged to use the calculator.

Z-Intervals…… p A study of 40 math teachers showed that they spent, on average, 12. 6 minutes correcting papers. Find the 90% confidence interval of the mean time of correcting papers if the st. deviation is 2. 5 minutes. p Values:

p 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Calculator Steps: Stat Tests 7: ZInterval Set on Stats if you are going to input the data yourself. Set on data if your data is in a list. Fill in and calculate.
