, with either known population variances, or for large
samples with unknown population variances.
3. Z-Test: 1 p.: Single sample hypothesis testing for the proportion, p, for
large samples with unknown population variance.
4. Z-Test: p1− p2.: Hypothesis testing for the difference of two proportions,
p

, for large samples with unknown population variances.
5. T-Test: 1 µ.: Single sample hypothesis testing for the population mean,
µ, for small samples with unknown population variance.
6. T-Test: µ1−µ2.: Hypothesis testing for the difference of the population
means, µ

, for small samples with unknown population variances.
Example 1 – For µ
0
= 150, σ = 10, ⎯x = 158, n = 50, for α = 0.05, test
the hypothesis H
0
: µ = µ
0
, against the alternative hypothesis, H
1
: µ ≠ µ
0
.
