120 5 Distribution Platform Confidence Intervals

The Test Standard Deviation table shows the computed Chi Square statistic that tests whether the

hypothesized standard deviation is the same as the computed sample standard deviation, and the prob-

abilities associated with that Chi Square value:

•

Min PValue is the probability of obtaining a greater Chi-square value by chance alone when the

population standard deviation is not different from the hypothesized value. .

•

Prob<ChiSq is the probability of obtaining a Chi Square value less than the computed sample Chi

Square by chance alone when the sample standard deviation is not the hypothesized value. ...
