ZTEST(ar,x,sigma)
- is the array of values.
- is the value to test.
- is the standard deviation of the population.
is the array of values.
is the value to test.
is the standard deviation of the population.
Description
- This function gives the one-tailed probability of z-test.
- Z-test is used to determine whether two population means are different when the variances are known and the sample size is large.
- In , is the array of values against which the hypothesized sample mean is to be tested.
- is the hypothesized sample mean, and is the standard deviation of the population.
- When we are not giving the sigma value, it will use the standard deviation of sample.
- This function returns the probability that the supplied hypothesized sample mean is greater than the mean of the supplied data values.
- The test statistic should follow a normal distribution.
- ZTEST is calculated when sigma is not omitted and x=μ0 : Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle ZTEST(ar,\mu_0,sigma)=1-NORMSDIST((\bar{x}-μ0)/\frac{sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} .
- ZTEST is calculated when sigma is omitted and x=μ0:
,Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle ZTEST(ar,μ0)=1-NORMSDIST(\bar{x}-μ0)/\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} where is sample mean , is the sample deviation and is the size of the sample.
is sample mean , 
is the sample deviation and 
is the size of the sample.
- Suppose we want to calculate the z-test for two tailed probability then this can be done by using the Z.Test function: .
- This function will give the result as error when
. 1. Any one of the argument is non-numeric.
2. ar or x is empty.
3. ar contains only one value.
