Hello Guys and Gals
New member here so please be gentle
I have a question if someone would be so kind.
I am currently a studying a basic statistical analysis unit at University as part of my IT degree and am having massive dramas with probabilties formulas.
I am slowly understanding the formulas and why they are used in certain scenarios - ie: to get Z values and T values etc etc.
Now I understand that this is going to sound like a really dumb question and for that I apologize, but when I attended school which was many years ago I did advanced math and all without a calculator - who would have thought!
My question is: How do I enter massive calculations into a statistical calculator (and I'm truly hoping someone can break it down for me):
eg: How would I enter .70 - .60 divided by the square root of .60(1-.60) divided by 50
Any help with this would be truly appreciated because now that I have a reasonable understanding of the how and why it is simply driving me nuts that I keep coming up with incorrect answers all because I can't figure out how to enter it in a statistical calculator which I have never used before.
My calculator model is a SHARP EL738F by the way and if it helps you assist me.
Cheers folks - really appreciate any assistance you may be able to offer
