The value of z calculated for x using this formula is also
called the observed value of z.

is called the test statistic. The test statistic can be defined
as a rule or criterion that is used to make the decision
whether or not to reject the null hypothesis.

1. Use the t value from the last row (the row of ∞) in Table
V of Appendix C.
2. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the t
distribution.
pˆ p pq
z where pˆ
pˆ n
The value of p that is used in this formula is the one from the
null hypothesis. The value of q is equal to 1-p. The value of z
calculated for p̂ using the above formula is also called the
observed value of z.
