ˆ (Tests) Æ 3:2.SampZTest for the TI-92 Plus / Voyage™ 200 PLT
2.SampZTest (two-sample z test) tests the equality of the means of two populations (m
1
and m
2
) based on independent samples when both population standard deviations (s
1
and s
2
) are known. The null hypothesis H
0
: m
1
=m
2
is tested against one of the
alternatives below.

Data Inputs
s1, s2 Known population standard deviations for data sequences in List 1 and
List 2
.
List 1, List 2 List containing the data used in the calculations.
Freq 1, Freq 2 Frequency values for the data in List 1 and List 2. The defaults are 1. All
elements must be integers | 0. Each element in the frequency
(Freq) list
is the frequency of occurrence for each corresponding data point in the
input list specified in the
List field.
