ZTESTTWOSAMPLEFORMEANS(ar1,ar2,v1,v2,md,alpha,lv)

• $ar1$ and $ar2$ are array of values.
• $v1$ and $v2$ are value of variances.
• $md$ is the Hypothesized Mean Difference.
• $alpha$ is the significance level.
• $lv$ is the logical value.

Description

• This function gives the z-test two sample for means.
• We can use this test when

1.The samples can be different sizes.
2.The two samples are independent.
3.Both populations are normally distributed or both sample sizes are large enough that the means are normally distributed.

• In $ZTESTTWOSAMPLEFORMEANS(ar_{1},ar_{2},v_{1},v_{2},md,alpha,lv)$,$ar_{1}$ and $ar_{2}$ are the set of values,$v_{1}$ is the variance of $ar_{1}$,$v_{2}$ is the variance of $ar_{2}$.
• $md$ is the Hypothesized Mean Difference. If testing is for equal means,then $md=0$.
• $alpha$ is the significance level which ranges from 0 to 1.
• $lv$ is the logical value like TRUE or FALSE.TRUE is indicating the result will display in new worksheet.
• Suppose we are omitted the $lv$ value it will consider the value as FALSE.
• ZTEST two sample for means is calculated by:$z={\frac {{\bar {x_{1}}}-{\bar {x_{2}}}-\Delta }{\sqrt {{\frac {\sigma _{1}^{2}}{n_{1}}}+{\frac {\sigma _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}}}}$
