Unit 3 The z-test Overview Whenever the normal probability curve is set up as the statistical distribution for testing hypothesis about a population‚ the z-tests are used. There are 4 types of z test that will be taken up. Lesson 1: z-test of Hypothesis about a Population Mean Before the z-one population test of hypothesis about a population mean is applied‚ certain assumptions must be met: (1) The (population standard deviation) is known.

explained and justified later on in the report. Hypothesis Testing: The null hypothesis (Ho) for this investigation is that there is no genuine evidence of difference in accident rates between the two operations. This hypothesis will be accepted if the p-value for the tests is greater than 0.05‚ otherwise it will be rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H1) will be accepted. The p-value is the estimated probability of rejecting the null hypothesis (Ho) of a study when the study question is true
