Ans 1f: Parametric Test 1) z-Test: Prof.

Fisher has given a method of testing the significance of the correlation coefficient in small samples. The Z-test compares sample and population means to determine if there is a significant difference. It requires a simple random sample from a population with a Normal distribution and where mean is known. ) t-Test: If one take a ver! large number of small samples from a population and calculate the mean for each sample and then plot the frequenc! distribution of these means the resulting sampling distribution would be the Student's t-distribution. "hen the sample si#e is $% or less and the population standard deviation is unknown& we can use the t-distribution. $) F-Test: The ob'ect of the (-test is to discover whether the two independent estimates of population variance differ significantl!& or whether the two samples ma! be regarded as drawn from the normal population having the same variance.
