Try the following exercises:
Example 1 – For
µ
0
= 150,
σ
= 10,
x = 158, n = 50, for
α
= 0.05, test the
hypothesis H
0
:
µ
=
µ
0
, against the alternative hypothesis, H
1
:
µ
≠
µ
0
.
Press

@@@OK@@@
to access the hypothesis testing feature in the
calculator. Press
@@@OK@@@
to select option 1. Z-Test: 1
µ
.
Enter the following data and press
@@@OK@@@
:
You are then asked to select the alternative hypothesis. Select
µ
≠
150, and
press
@@OK@@
. The result is:
Then, we reject H
0
:
µ
=
150
, against H
1
:
µ
≠
150
. The test z value is z
