I agree with Sven! Anyway, the close button on the toolbar seems
to do things quite well. Why not to abolish the big button on
the bottom?
OK: unless I hear to the contrary, I'll do that.
Otherwise, there are two small bugs in the "Tools" menu.
1. On the "Test calculator" window, when you check the
"Assume
std dev ..." option and click Ok a pop-up appears saying "Bad
PNG header: Got bytes e0 22 0" and it doesn't produce the
distribution graph.
Thanks, I've now fixed that.
2. On the "Statistical tables" window, try to introduce 0.2
as
the right-tail probability for the normal distribution. As I'm
using the french version the point obviously doesn't work and I
changed it by the comma "," and that's fine.
OK.
But, when I choose the distribution graph menu for the normal
distribution N(0,1) I got the same error message "Extraneous
character '.' in data"???
Sorry, you'll have to explain that a bit more. With the normal
distribution graph you have to enter a mean and standard
deviation, in separate entry boxes. In both of these boxes, the
valid decimal character depends on the locale -- unless you have
chosen (under Preferences) not to use the locale decimal
character (a smart move, some would say!).
On some quick tests, this seems to work OK. For example, using
English:
mean: 10.5
std dev: 2.4
OK
mean: 10,5
std dev: 2,4
Error ("extraneous character")
French:
mean: 10.5
std dev: 2.4
Error ("extraneous character")
mean: 10,5
std dev: 2,4
OK.
