Z- Test is a statistical hypothesis test that follows

a normal distribution.

Z – Test is appropriate when you are handling

moderate to large samples (n > 30).

Z – Test will often require certain conditions to

be reliable.
 Procedures:
1. Formulate the Hypotheses:
𝐻0 : 𝜇 1 = 𝜇 2 , That the mean of population 1 is
equal to the mean population 2
The alternative hypothesis may be defined in one of the three hypotheses
presented below:
a. 𝐻𝑎 : 𝜇 1 > 𝜇 2 , That the mean of population 1 is greater than the mean of
population 2
b. 𝐻𝑎 : 𝜇 1 < 𝜇 2 , That the mean of population 1 is lesser than the mean of
population 2
c. 𝐻𝑎 : 𝜇 1 ≠ 𝜇 2 , That the mean of population 1 is not equal to the mean of
population 2

 The alternative hypotheses a and b are directional hypotheses
and so if one uses either of these two alternative hypotheses, a
one – tailed test will be employed. However, a two – tailed test
is used when one indicated the alternative hypothesis c since this
is a non – directional hypothesis.
2. Test – Statistic: z – test for dependent samples. 𝜶 =_____

3. Decision Criterion:
Note that the decision criterion would entirely depend on the formulated
alternative hypothesis. As such, use the following decision criterion that
corresponds to the alternative hypothesis.
a. Reject 𝐻0 if 𝑧𝑐 ≥ 𝑧𝛼 𝑛−1 𝑑𝑓 .

Made Easy” (20th Edition) b. Reject 𝐻0 if 𝑧𝑐 ≤ 𝑧𝛼 𝑛−1 𝑑𝑓 .

and Engr. Alipio T. Tagaro 𝑛−1 𝑑𝑓

 College Sports Offerings:
A researcher hypothesizes that
the average number of sports
that colleges offer for males is
greater than the average
number of sports that colleges
offer for females. A random
sample of the number of sports
offered by colleges for males
and females is shown. At α =
0.10, is there enough evidence
to support the claim?
