Prob Other option to select a confidence level, and select one-sided or two-sided
confidence intervals. You can also type a known sigma. If you use a known sigma, the confidence interval for
the mean is based on z-values rather than t-values.
The Confidence Intervals report shows the mean and standard deviation parameter estimates with upper
and lower confidence limits for 1 - α.
Save Commands for Continuous Variables
Use the Save menu commands to save information about continuous variables. Each Save command
generates a new column in the current data table. The new column is named by appending the variable
name (denoted in the following definitions) to the Save command name. See Table 2.12.
Select the Save commands repeatedly to save the same information multiple times under different
circumstances, such as before and after combining histogram bars. If you use a Save command multiple
times, the column name is numbered (name1, name2, and so on) to ensure unique column names.
