    The document discusses how to perform a z-test of one sample mean. It provides examples to illustrate the steps: 1) Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses. 2) Specify the test statistic, significance level, critical value. 3) Compute the test statistic and compare it to the critical value to determine whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Interpret the conclusion.

    Z-Test Of

    One-Sample
    Mean
    Z-TEST
    A z-test is a statistical test used to determine
    whether two population means are different
    when the variances are known and the
    sample size is large.

    The test statistic is assumed to have a normal


    distribution, and nuisance parameters such as
    standard deviation should be known in order
    for an accurate z-test to be performed.
    5 Steps In Testing the Hyphothesis

    your level of appropriate graph and conclusion.

    and critical

    • Formula:
    z = (ẍ − µ)√𝒏)/𝒔
    Z-Test Of Where:
    One Sample ẍ - sample mean
    Mean µ - population mean
    n – sample size
    s – standard deviation
    Example 1

    • A teacher claims that the mean score of students


    in his class is greater than 82 with a standard
    deviation of 20. If a sample of 81 students was
    selected with a mean score of 90 then check if
    there is enough evidence to support this claim at
    a 0.05 significance level.
    • State the Hyphothesis:
    :The mean score of students in
    his class is greater than 82
    Solution: (µ >82)
    :The mean score of students in
    his class is less than 82
    (µ<82)
    • Specify the level of significance,
    tailed test, test statistics to be
    used, and critical values.
    Test Statistics: Z-Test of One
    Solution Sample Mean
    Tailed-Test: One-Tailed Test
    (Right Tail)
    Level of Significance: 0.05
    Critical Value: 1.645
    Critical Values of
    Z for both one-
    tailed and two
    tailed
    Compute the test statistic
    Given:

     ẍ= 90
     μ = 82
    n = 81
    s = 20

    Solution z=
    z=
    z=
    z=
    z =3.6
    • Make a graph computed value and critical
    value and make a decision.

    Solution
    Decision:Reject and Accept (It is
    concluded that there is enough
    evidence to support the teacher's
    claim.)
    • Interpret the decision.
    The difference is significant
    Example 2

    • The average height of students in a batch is 100 cm


    and the standard deviation is 15. However, Tedd
    believes that this has changed, so he decides to test
    the height of 75 random students in the batch. The
    average height of the sample comes out to be 105. Is
    there enough evidence to suggest that the average
    height has changed? Level of Significance: (0.05)
    • State the Hyphothesis:
    :The average height of students in
    the batch is 100.
    Solution (μ = 100)
    :The average height of students
    in the batch is not 100.
    (μ ≠100)
    • Specify the level of significance,
    tailed test, test statistics to be
    used, and critical values.
    Test Statistics: Z-Test of One
    Solution Sample Mean
    Tailed-Test: Two Tailed Test
    Level of Significance: 0.05
    Critical Value:1.96
    Compute the test statistic
    Given:

     ẍ= 105
     μ = 100
    n = 75
    s = 15

    Solution z=
    z=
    z=
    z=
    z =2.9
    • Make a graph computed value and critical
    value and make a decision.

    Solution
    Decision:Reject and Accept (There
    is enough evidence to suggest that the
    average height has change.)

    • Interpret the decision.


    The difference is significant
