    A z-test is used to determine if two population means are different when the variances are known and the sample size is large. It uses a test statistic that is assumed to have a normal distribution. Four problems are presented that use z-tests to analyze sample data and test hypotheses about population means. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a statistical technique used to analyze differences between means of two or more independent groups. It is used when there are two or more samples to compare their means.

    Z-TEST
     A z-test is a statistical test used to determine
    whether two population means are different
    when the variances are known and the sample
    size is large. The test statistic is assumed to
    have a normal distribution, and nuisance
    parameters such as standard deviation should
    be known in order for an accurate z-test to be
    performed.
    WHEN TO USE Z-TEST?
     If the sample size is large enough, then the Z
    test and t-Test will conclude with the same
    results. For a large sample size, Sample
    Variance will be a better estimate of Population
    variance so even if population variance is
    unknown, we can use the Z test using sample
    variance.
    Z-TEST TABLE
    PROBLEM 1
     A principal at a certain school claims that
    the students in his school are above
    average intelligence. A random sample of
    thirty students IQ scores have a mean score of
    112. Is there sufficient evidence to support the
    principal’s claim? The mean population IQ is
    100 with a standard deviation of 15.
    STATE THE HYPOTHESIS:

    GIVEN, FORMULA, AND SOLUTION:


    Z-TABLE VALUE: 1.64
    4.56>1.64
    We cann reject the null hypothesis
    PROBLEM 2
     1,500 women followed the Atkin’s diet for a
    month. A random sample of 29 women gained
    an average of 6.7 pounds. Test the hypothesis
    that the average weight gain per woman for the
    month was over 5 pounds. The standard
    deviation for all women in the group was 7.1.
    STATE THE HYPOTHESIS:

    GIVEN, FORMULA, AND SOLUTION:


    Z-TABLE VALUE: 1.64
    1.289<1.64
    We cannot reject the null hypothesis
    PROBLEM 3
     The amount of a certain trace element in blood
    is known to vary with a standard deviation of
    14.1 ppm (parts per million) for donors.
    Random samples of 75 male and 50 female
    donors yield concentration means of 28 and 33
    ppm, respectively. What is the likelihood that
    the population means of concentrations of the
    element are the same for men and women?
    STATE THE HYPOTHESIS:

    GIVEN, FORMULA, AND SOLUTION:


    Z-TABLE VALUE: -2.37

    The computed z‐value is negative because the


    larger mean for females was subtracted from the
    smaller mean for males.
    If z would be 2.37 instead of –2.37.
    An extreme z‐score from alpha level which is 5%
    = 1.654 (plus or minus) will lead to rejection of the
    null hypothesis.
    PROBLEM 4
     Time magazine reported the result of a
    telephone poll of 800 adult Americans.  The
    question posed of the Americans who were
    surveyed was: "Should the federal tax on
    cigarettes be raised to pay for health care
    reform?  The results of the survey were: 351
    said "yes" out of 605 Non-smokers and 41 said
    "yes" out of 195 smokers.  Is there a significant
    difference between the response of the smokers
    and non-smokers?
    SAMPLE PROPORTION:

    GIVEN, FORMULA, AND SOLUTION:


    What is Analysis of Variance?
     Analysis of variance is a collection of statistical
    models and their associated estimation
    procedures used to analyze the differences
    among means. ANOVA was developed by the
    statistician Ronald Fisher. 
    When do we use Anova?
     used to determine whether there are any
    statistically significant differences between the
    means of two or more independent groups.
