2-Sample Z Interval
Command: TwoSampleZInt 䡺
Description: This command obtains the confidence interval for the difference between
population means when the population standard deviations of two populations
are known.
The confidence interval is obtained using the following expressions.
The confidence level is 100 (1 – α )%.
Left = (o

– o

) – Z

Right = (o

Command Syntax
Syntax 1 (list format)
C-Level value, σ 1 value, σ 2 value, List(1), List(2), Freq(1) (or 1), Freq(2) (or 1)
* “Freq” can be omitted. Doing so sets “1” for “Freq”.
Syntax 2 (parameter format)
C-Level value, σ 1 value, σ 2 value, o1 value, n1 value, o2 value, n2 value
Definition of Terms
C-Level : confidence level (0 < C-Level < 1)
σ 1 : population standard deviation of sample 1 ( σ 1 > 0)
σ 2 : population standard deviation of sample 2 ( σ 2 > 0)
List(1) : list where sample 1 data is located
List(2) : list where sample 2 data is located
Freq(1) : frequency of sample 1 (1 or list name)
Freq(2) : frequency of sample 2 (1 or list name)
o1 : mean of sample 1 data
n1 : size of sample 1 (positive integer)
o2 : mean of sample 2 data
n2 : size of sample 2 (positive integer)
