Tests

The

Z

Test provides a variety of different tests based on standard deviation based tests. They make it possible

to test whether or not a sample accurately represents the population when the standard deviation of a
population (such as the entire population of a country) is known from previous tests. The

t

Test is used instead

of the

Z

Test when the population standard deviation is unknown. You can also perform

χ

2

Test, ANOVA

(analysis of variance), and other test calculations.

The following describes the ClassPad commands for executing each type of statistical test calculation. It
includes the calculation formula used and a general overview of each command.

1-Sample

Tests a single sample mean against the known mean of the null hypothesis when the population standard
deviation is known. The normal distribution is used for the 1-Sample

Z

test.

Test

2-Sample

Z

Test .... [Test] - [Two-Sample Z-Test] .....

Tests the difference between two means when the standard deviations of the two populations are known. The
normal distribution is used for the 2-Sample

Z

test.

Tests a single sample proportion against the known proportion of the null hypothesis. The normal distribution is
used for the 1-Proportion

Z

test.

test.

Tests a single sample mean against the known mean of the null hypothesis when the population standard
deviation is unknown. The

t

distribution is used for the 1-Sample

t

test.

2-Sample

t

Test .... [Test] - [Two-Sample

t

-Test]

Tests the difference between two means when the standard deviations of the two populations are unknown.
The

t

distribution is used for the 2-Sample

t

test.
