Confidence Interval for One Proportion p^±zα2(pq^n)p^=xnq^=1−p^\begin{aligned} &\hat{p} \pm z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \sqrt{\left(\frac{\hat{p q}}{n}\right)} \\ &\hat{p}=\frac{x}{n} \\ &\hat{q}=1-\hat{p} \end{aligned} TI-84: 1-PropZInt Sample Size for Proportion n=p*·q*(zα/2E)2n=p^{*} \cdot q^{*}\left(\frac{z_{\alpha / 2}}{E}\right)^{2} Always round up to whole number. If p is not given use p* = 0.5. E = Margin of Error
Confidence Interval for One Mean Use z-interval when σ is given. Use t-interval when s is given. If n < 30, population needs to be normal. Z-Confidence Interval x¯±zα2(σn)\bar{x} \pm z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\left(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\right) TI-84: ZInterval
Z-Critical Values Excel: zα\alpha/2 =NORM.INV(1–area/2,0,1) TI-84: zα\alpha/2 = invNorm(1–area/2,0,1) t-Critical Values Excel: tα\alpha/2 =T.INV(1–area/2,df) TI-84: tα\alpha/2 = invT(1–area/2,df)
t-Confidence Interval x¯±tα/2(sn)\bar{x} \pm t_{\alpha / 2}\left(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\right) df = n – 1 TI-84: TInterval Sample Size for Mean n=(zα/2·σE)2n=\left(\frac{z_{\alpha / 2} \cdot \sigma}{E}\right)^{2} Always round up to whole number. E = Margin of Error
