 I. Hypothesis Testing for Mean (Single Population)
Case 1: population variance is known.

PHStat > One-Sample Tests >Z Test for the Mean, sigma known

Case 2: population variance is unknown and n < 30

PHStat > One- Sample Tests > t Test for the Mean, sigma unknown

Case 3: population variance is unknown and n> 30

PHStat > One-Sample Tests >Z Test for the Mean, sigma known

II. Hypothesis Testing for Proportion (Single Population)

Case 1:
y−n p 0
Z=
√n p0 (1−p 0)
PHStat > One-Sample Tests >Z Test for the Proportion
