The result indicates that a 95% confidence interval has been calculated. The
Critical z value shown in the screen above corresponds to the values
±
z
α/2
in
the confidence interval formula (

µ
Min and

The graph shows the standard normal distribution pdf (probability density
function), the location of the critical points

, the mean value (23.2) and
the corresponding interval limits (21.88424 and 24.51576). Press

Example 2 -- Data from two samples (samples 1 and 2) indicate that

x
1
=
57.8 and

x
2
= 60.0. The sample sizes are n
1
= 45 and n
2
= 75. If it is
known that the populations’ standard deviations are
σ
1
= 3.2, and
σ
2
= 4.5,
determine the 90% confidence interval for the difference of the population
means, i.e.,
µ

-
µ
