Z-Test:

 

On the basis of statistics from a single sample, this test

 

measures the strength of the evidence for a selected

 

hypothesis against the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis

 

is that the proportion of successes in the two populations

 

is equal: H0 : π = π0

 

You select one of the following alternative hypotheses

 

against which to test the null hypothesis:

 

H1:π < π0

 

H1:π > π0

 

H1:π ≠ π0
