* Example 6.1, page 228
*
* The SAMPLE command is used to specify the sample range of the data to be
* read.  The READ command inputs the data and assigns variable names.  In
* this case, the years of experience for six employees is assigned EXPER.
* The LIST option on the READ command lists all data read.
*
SAMPLE 1 6
READ EXPER / LIST

*
* The STAT command is used to calculate the mean experience of the six
* employees in years on the job.

* Example 6.2, page 231
*
* The Mean and Standard Deviation of the annual percentage salary increase
* for the CEO of all mid-size corporations is defined as MEANX and SIGMAX.
* The random sample is defined as N.
*
GEN1 MEANX=12.2
GEN1 SIGMAX=3.6
GEN1 N=9
*
* The GEN1 command is used to calculate the standard error of the sampling
* distribution of the sample mean.
*
GEN1 SIGMAMX=SIGMAX/SQRT(N)
PRINT SIGMAMX
*
* The probability that the sample mean will be less than 10% is:
*
GEN1 PZ=(10-MEANX)/SIGMAMX
PRINT PZ
*
* From Table 3 of the Appendix, Fz(1.83)=0.9664
*
GEN1 FZ=0.9664
GEN1 PMEANX=1-FZ
PRINT PMEANX
*

* Example 6.3, page 232
*
* The mean life of spark plugs is defined as MEANX,  standard deviation is
* SIGMAX, average life is AVGLIF, and the random sample size is N.
*
GEN1 MEANX=36000
GEN1 SIGMAX=4000
GEN1 AVGLIF=34500
GEN1 N=16
GEN1 SIGMAMX=SIGMAX/SQRT(N)
PRINT SIGMAMX
GEN1 PZ=(AVGLIF-MEANX)/SIGMAMX
PRINT PZ
*
* From Table 3 of the Appendix, Fz(1.5)=0.9332
*
GEN1 FZ=0.9332
GEN1 PMEANX=1-FZ
PRINT PMEANX

* Example 6.4, page 235
*
* The random sample of homes is defined as N and the proportion of homes with
* unsafe wiring is P.
*
GEN1 N=250
GEN1 P=0.30
*
* First calculate the standard error (SIGMAP).
*
GEN1 SIGMAP=SQRT((P*(1-P))/N)
*
* Then the probability that the proportion of homes in the sample with
* unsafe wiring between 0.25 and 0.35 is:
*
GEN1 PL=(0.25-P)/SIGMAP
GEN1 PU=(0.35-P)/SIGMAP
PRINT PL PU
*
* From Table 3 of the Appendix, Fz(1.72)=0.9573
*
GEN1 FZ=0.9573
GEN1 PX=FZ-(1-FZ)
PRINT PX

* Example 6.5, page 236
*
* The proportion of business graduates who believe a course in business ethics
* is very important is P and the random sample size of business graduates is
* N.
*
GEN1 P=0.43
GEN1 N=80
*
* First calculate the standard error (SIGMAP).
*
GEN1 SIGMAP=SQRT((P*(1-P))/N)
PRINT SIGMAP
*
* Then the probability that more than one-half of the business graduates
* believe that a course in business ethics is very important is:
*
GEN1 P=(0.50-P)/SIGMAP
PRINT P
*
* From Table 3 of the Appendix, Fz(1.27)=0.8980
*
GEN1 FZ=0.8980
GEN1 PX=1-FZ
PRINT PX

* Example 6.6, page 247
*
* N is the random sample of components, SIGMAX is the standard deviation of
* the components.
*
GEN1 N=4
GEN1 SIGMAX=3.6
GEN1 SIGMA2X=SIGMAX**2
*
* The probability that the sample variance is greater than 30 is:
*
GEN1 PS2X=(30*(N-1))/SIGMA2X
PRINT PS2X
