1. Z-Test: 1

μ.: Single sample hypothesis testing for the population mean, μ,

with known population variance, or for large samples with unknown
population variance.

2. Z-Test:

μ1−μ2.: Hypothesis testing for the difference of the population

means,

, with either known population variances, or for large

samples with unknown population variances.

3. Z-Test: 1 p.: Single sample hypothesis testing for the proportion, p, for

large samples with unknown population variance.

Try the following exercises:

Example 1 – For

μ

0

= 150,

σ = 10, ⎯x = 158, n = 50, for α = 0.05, test the

hypothesis H

0

:

μ = μ

0

, against the alternative hypothesis, H

1

:

μ ≠ μ

0

.
