Study Notes

Calculator Functions in AP Statistics

STAT PLOTS: Enable visualization of data through scatterplots, histograms, boxplots, and modified boxplots.
STAT PLOT w/ TRACE: Allows tracing along plotted graphs for validation or exploration.
1-Var Stats: Provides essential statistical measures including mean, standard deviation (SD), and five-number summary (5-numsum).
binompdf (n, p, x): Computes the probability of achieving exactly x successes in n trials, with p denoting success probability.
binomcdf (n, p, x): Calculates the cumulative probability of obtaining x or fewer successes in a series of trials.
geometpdf (p, x): Determines the probability that the first success occurs on the x-th trial, where p is the probability of success on each trial.
geometcdf (p, x): Gives cumulative probability that the first success happens on or before the x-th trial.
normalcdf (lower bound, upper bound, mean, SD): Evaluates the probability that a score falls between a specified lower and upper bound, given a certain mean and SD.
InvNorm (area, mean, SD): Finds the score corresponding to a specified area (probability) under a normal distribution curve, determined by the given mean and SD.
tcdf (lower bound, upper bound, df): Computes the probability that a score lies within two bounds for a chosen degrees of freedom (df).
invT(area, df): Identifies the t-score linked to an area (probability) to the left under the Student's t-distribution curve for specified df.
X² cdf (lower bound, upper bound, df): Calculates the probability that a score lies between two bounds for a specific degrees of freedom related to chi-square distribution.
X² GOF-Test: Executes a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to assess if sample data fits a specific distribution.
LinReg (ax + b): Fits a linear equation y = ax + b to data from lists L1 and L2, utilizing least squares fitting method.
DiagnosticOn: Activates the display of r-squared and correlation coefficient (r) in the linear regression output.
1-PropZInt: Provides a confidence interval for the proportion of successes in a single population.
2-PropZInt: Calculates a confidence interval for the difference between two population proportions.
TInterval: Generates a confidence interval for the mean, comparing proportions of successes.
2-SampTInt: Computes a confidence interval for the difference between the means of two populations.
1-PropZTest: Conducts a hypothesis test for a proportion to evaluate significance.
T-Test: A hypothesis test to compare means.
2-SampTTest: Similar to T-Test but for two separate samples' means.
2-PropZTest: Hypothesis test for comparing proportions between two populations, utilizing a pooled sample proportion.
x-squared test: Provides the chi-squared value and p-value for testing the null hypothesis (H0) of no association between categorical variables.
LinRegTTest: Applies linear regression to test the null hypothesis (H0: B = 0), with the regression output stored in RegEQ and residuals in RESID.
