# Hypothesis Testing Formula

We run a hypothesis test that helps statisticians determine if the evidence are enough in a sample data to conclude that a research condition is true or false for the entire population. For finding out hypothesis of a given sample, we conduct a Z-test. Usually, in Hypothesis testing, we compare two sets by comparing against a synthetic data set and idealized model.

The Z test formula is given as:

$\large z=\frac{\overline{x}-\mu }{\frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}}$

Where,
$\overline{x}$ is the sample mean
$\mu$ is the population mean
$\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the sample size.

### Solved Examples

Question: What will be the z value when the given parameters are sample mean = 600, population mean = 585, the standard deviation is 100 and the sample size is 150?

Solution:

Given parameters are,
Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 600
Population mean, $\mu$ = 585,
Standard deviation, $\sigma$ = 100
Sample size, n = 150

The formula for hypothesis testing is given as,

$z=\frac{\overline{x}-\mu }{\frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z=\frac{600-585}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{150}}}$

= 0.012
