Hypothesis Test for One Mean Use z-test when σ is given. Use t-test when s is given. If n < 30, population needs to be normal. Type I Error- Reject H0 when H0 is true. Type II Error- Fail to reject H0 when H0 is false.
Z-Test: H0: μ = μ0 H1: μ ≠ μ0 Z=x¯−μ0(σn)Z=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu_{0}}{\left(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\right)} TI-84: Z-Test t-Test: H0: μ = μ0 H1: μ ≠ μ0 t=x¯−μ0(sn)t=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu_{0}}{\left(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\right)} TI-84: T-Test
z-Critical Values Excel: Two-tail: zα/2z_{\alpha / 2} = NORM.INV(1–α\alpha/2,0,1) Right-tail: z1−αz_{1-\alpha} = NORM.INV(1–α\alpha,0,1) Left-tail: zαz_{\alpha} = NORM.INV(α\alpha,0,1) TI-84: Two-tail: zα/2z_{\alpha / 2} = invNorm(1–α\alpha/2,0,1) Right-tail: z1−αz_{1-\alpha} = invNorm(1–α\alpha,0,1) Left-tail: zαz_{\alpha} = invNorm(α\alpha,0,1) t-Critical Values Excel: Two-tail: tα/2t_{\alpha / 2} =T.INV(1–α\alpha/2,df) Right-tail: t1−αt_{1-\alpha} = T.INV(1–α\alpha,df) Left-tail: tαt_{\alpha}= T.INV(α\alpha,df) TI-84: Two-tail: tα/2t_{\alpha / 2} = invT(1–α\alpha/2,df) Right-tail: t1−αt_{1-\alpha} = invT(1–α\alpha,df) Left-tail: tαt_{\alpha} = invT(α\alpha,df)
Hypothesis Test for One Proportion H0: p = p0 H1: p ≠ p0 Z=p^−p0(p0q0n)Z=\frac{\hat{p}-p_{0}}{\sqrt{\left(\frac{p_{0} q_{0}}{n}\right)}} TI-84: 1-PropZTest Rejection Rules: P-value method: reject H0 when the p-value ≤ α\alpha. Critical value method: reject H0 when the test statistic is in the critical region (shaded tails).
