Two-Sample Z-Test

Menu name

Z-Test: μ1–μ2

 

 

On the basis of two samples, each from a separate

 

population, this test measures the strength of the evidence

 

for a selected hypothesis against the null hypothesis. The

 

null hypothesis is that the mean of the two populations are

 

equal (H0: μ1= μ2).

 

 

You select one of the following alternative hypotheses

 

against which to test the null hypothesis:

 

 

H1:μ1 < μ2

 

 

H1:μ1 > μ2

 

 

H1:μ1 ≠ μ2
