- CUREALL
- (GENERAL UTILITY STATISTICS)
-
- AIM: The program is designed to do all the usual parametric statistics on a
- single series of measurements (maximum = 999). Output includes:
-
- Sum of the Data Points
- Sum of the Squares
- Mean
- Standard Deviation
- Variance
- Standard Error of the Mean
- Coefficient of Variation
-
- Confidence Intervals (both 95% and 99%) as follows:
-
- Low End Midpoint High End Total Length Half Length
-
- The total and half length of the confidence intervals are useful for
- plotting data on graph paper.
-
- EXAMPLE: Here is a group of 10 ages. The program will calculate the above
- parameters.
-
- 52 48 46 41 40 37 37 32 26 24
-
- The data need not be ranked in any particular order.
-
- DATA FILES: Note that the data can be input from a file. Create the
- datafile in the WordStar non-document mode, using the format shown below,
- which consists simply of a title followed by the data:
-
- Test data <-- Title, up to 65 characters and spaces long
- 52 <-- First data point (X1)
- 48 <-- Second data point (X2)
- 46 <-- Third data point (X3)
- 41 . .
- 40 . .
- 37 . .
- 37 . .
- 32 . .
- 26 . .
- 24 <-- Last data point (in this case, X10)
-
- As mentioned previously, there may be 999 data points.
