in this case, i think upper/lower case matters not ... in fact, in minitab, if you go to get help on pdf ... you see (some)
PDF for values in E...E [put results in E...E] BINOMIAL n = K, p = K POISSON mu = K INTEGER discrete uniform on integers K to K DISCRETE dist. with values in C and probabilities in C NORMAL [mu = K [sigma = K]] UNIFORM [continuous on the interval K to K] note it is PDF ... capped however, for some terms ... it does make a difference ... i know that the output for t tests in minitab uses cap T ... which is NOT correct ... since there is a linear transformation called big T ... with mean = 50 and sd = 10 ... which should NOT be confused with little t At 04:43 PM 4/24/02 +0100, Chia C Chong wrote: >Hi! > >Just a very simple question.
