Hypothesis Testing for One-

Sample Mean
STEPS to Solve for Hypothesis
Testing for One-Sample Mean
STEP 1
Identify Null/Alternative Hypothesis
Ho:μ = / μ≥ / μ≤
Ha:μ ≠ / μ< / μ>
 STEP 3
• Identify the test to be used
σ is given use z test
σ is not given use t test
two tailed if not equal
greater than or less than is one
tail
STEP 3
• Calculate the z statistic
or t statistic
STEP 4
• calculate the critical value
• z-test use z table
• t- test use either z or t table
• if n≥30 use z-table
• if n<30 use t-table
STEP 5
• Draw conclusion
It is either accept or reject the
null hypothesis
