Use of the TI 59 with Applications to Probability and Statistical Analysis.
Abstract
This thesis demonstrates through three comprehensive examples, the capabilities of the TI 59 programmable hand-held calculator as an analytical tool. One example is a probability application while the other two examples entail use of the TI 59 in statistical inference and data analysis. The probability example involves the use of the Monte Carlo technique to simulate stochastically the detection, identification and engagement of a cruise missile by an Improved Hawk Air Defense Battery. The second example illustrates a TI 59 program which is designed to analyze sample data. The data used for this illustration were gathered by the authors in an experiment which encompassed the testing of thirty-six male subjects to determine the extent to which their training routines influenced their strength, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness. The third example involves the use of an ANOVA routine and Scheffe's multiple contrasts to demonstrate how the TI 59 may be used to facilitate statistical inferences. The fitness data are also used for this purpose. The intent throughout the thesis is to exemplify the capabilities of the TI 59 as a viable, real world analytical tool rather than emphasize particular results of the simulation or the experiment.
