Using CALCULATOR
Sometimes we need to manipulate variables. For example, suppose we are given Height(in inch) of 10 students, but we want it in Feet.
Height: 65, 66, 64, 68, 65, 67, 66, 70, 72, 68
That is, we want to convert the variable and get a new one with units in feet. The rules forconverting variable is very simple
Converting Variable
1. Go to ‘Calculation’ from Menu-bar2. Click ‘Calculator’3. Write the variable name in ‘Store result in variable’.
(you can use the same variable name, then the earlier variable will be replaced bythe converted one or you can use different variable name)
4. Then in the ‘Expression’, mention what to calculate.
Calculation of Height (inch) into Height (ft)
1. Go to ‘Calculation’ from Menu-bar2. Click ‘Calculator’3. Write the variable name in ‘Height Ft’.
(If you use ‘Height’, then the values of Height will be replaced by new one, i.e. 1st
value of Height 65 will be replaced by 5.41667 and so on)4. Then in the ‘Expression’, write ‘Height’ / 12
(There are many other options functions located in the ‘Function’ scroll menu).

FINDING PROBABILITIES (BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION)
Suppose x is a binomial random variable. Use MINITAB to find the followingprobabilities:
(a) P(x = 4) for n = 10, p = 0.3 (b) P(x >= 6) for n = 10, p = 0.3(c) P(1 < x < 9) for n = 15, p = 0.4(d) P(x > 5) for n = 15, p = 0.4(e) P(x<4) for n=15, p=0.4(f) For n = 10, p = 0.3, obtain the plot of the binomial distribution.
Steps: 1. Go to Menu "Calc" > "Probability distribution" > "Binomial"2. Select: Probability, No. of trials, Probability of success and "Input constant"
1. Click "OK"
Solution
Figure: Calculation of 3 (a)
Find P(x=4) for n=10, p=0.3P(X = 3) = 0.2668
b) Find P(x>=6) for n=10, p=0.3 P(X >= 6) = P(X = 6) + ... + P(X = 10) = 1- P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)
+ ... + P(X = 5)= 1- (0.028248 + 0.121061+ 0.233474 + 0.266828
10
+ 0.200121 + 0.102919)= 1- 0.952651= 0.0473490
c) Find P(1<X<9) for n=15, and p=0.4P(1<X<9)= P(2<=X<= 8) = P(X=2) + ... + P(X=8)= 0.0219+0.0633+0.1267+0.1859+0.2065+0.1770+0.1180= 0.8997
d) Find P(x>5) for n=15, p=0.4P(X>5) = 1- P(X<=5) = 1- P(X=0)-...- P(X=5) = 1- 0.403216 = 0.596784
e) Find P(x<4) for n=15, p=0.4P(X <4) = P(X=0) + P(X=1)+ P(X=2)+P(X=3) = 0.0905019
Alternative way : Using Cumulative Probability
Steps: 1. Go to Menu "Calc" > "Probability distribution" > "Binomial"2. Select: Cumulative Probability, No. of trials, Probability of success and "Input constant"3. Click "OK"
b) P(x>=6) = 1- P(x <= 5)
For this problem, 1. Go to Menu "Calc" > Prob. dist > Binomial2. Select Cumulative Probability, type 15 in 'No. of trials' and 0.4 in 'prob. ofsuccess'3. Type 5 in 'Input Constant' and click OK.

Cumulative Distribution Function
Binomial with n = 10 and p = 0.3
x P( X <= x )5 0.952651
Thus, P(x >= 6 ) = 1- 0.952651 = 0.0473490
(f) Plot of binomial distribution when n=10 and p=0.3
Recall when n=10, the binomial r.v. can take the values as x=0, 1, ..., 10. Therefore, weneed to compute a table first like this
x p(X=x)

Finding Probabilities for Normal Distribution
Steps: • Go to ‘Calc’ → ‘Probability Dist’ → ‘Normal’• Select ‘Cumulative probability’, ‘Mean’ ‘St. Deviation’ • Select input constant• If you type 0.3 in ‘Input Constant’, you will have the probability that X lies
between (- ∞, 0.3)
Output
Cumulative Distribution Function
Normal with mean = 0 and standard deviation = 1.00000
x P( X <= x ) 0.3000 0.6179
Problem 1: The random variable X has a normal distribution with μ=70 and σ=10. Findthe following probabilities:
a) P(X<75) b) P(X ≥ 90) c) P(60 ≤ X ≤ 75)
15
Figure: Calculation of P(x ≤ 0.3), when Mean = 0 and Variance = 1
Problem 2: Assume that X is a binomial random variable with n=100 and p=0.5.Calculate the exact binomial probability and the approximation obtained by using thenormal distribution for a) P(X ≤ 48) b) P(50 ≤ X ≤ 65) c) P(X ≥ 70)
Hints: For normal approximation:
• P(X ≤ 48) = P(X ≤ 48.5)(approx)
• P(50 ≤ X ≤ 65)= P(X ≤ 65) – P(X ≤ 49) = P(X ≤ 65.5)–P(X ≤ 49.5) (approx)
• P(X ≥ 70) = 1-P(X<70) = 1-P(X ≤ 69) = 1- P(X ≤ 69.5) (approx)
Then obtain those probabilities from normal distribution using μ = np, σ = npq.
Generating Random Samples from Normal Population
Steps: Go to ‘Calc’ → ‘Random Data’ → ‘Normal’Select Number of random sample, where to store the data (size of random sample, eg.c1-c5 means size 5), Mean and Standard DeviationClick OK
The above figure describes drawing 100 random samples (written in Generate – rows ofdata) of size 2 (C1 and C2) from a Normal distribution with Mean 100, StandardDeviation 10.

at 5% level of significance, 10% level of significance
Find 95% confidence interval for μ
Solution:Note that, here the sample size n = 20 (<30), i.e. we have a small sample and alsopopulation standard deviation σ is unknown. So we have to use t-distribution to performthe test and to find the confidence interval after estimating σ by the sample standarddeviation S.

In the output T (= -0.49) is the value of the corresponding test statistics and ‘P’ is the p-valuewhich is 0.632.
