\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in these problems, the mean is 80 and the standard deviation is equal to the square root of the variance = sqrt(100) = 10.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the calculator is very simple to use.
\n" ); document.write( "the main thing you have to do is to calculate the standard deviation or the standard error correctly.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in this problem, the standard deviation of the population is used.
\n" ); document.write( "since the standard deviation is the square root of the variance, then the standard deviation in this problem is square root of 100 = 10.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you're dealing with a sample of the population of a certain size, then the standard error is used.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the formula for that is standard error = standard deviation / square root of sample size.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you have to work with z-scores, the same calculator can be used.
\n" ); document.write( "in that case, the mean is 0 and the standard deviation is 1.\r
