The Numeric view is where you enter the sample statistics
and population parameters for the situation you are
examining. The sample data supplied here belong to the
case in which a student has generated 50 pseudo-random
numbers on his graphing calculator. If the algorithm is
working properly, the mean would be near 0.5 and the
population standard deviation is known to be
approximately 0.2887. The student is concerned that the
sample mean (0.461368) seems a bit low and it testing
the less than alternative hypothesis against the null
hypothesis.
