<h3>When do we perform one sample z-test?</h3>One sample z-test is performed if the sample size is large enough (n > 30) and we want to know if the sample comes from the specific population.
For this case, we're specified that:
- Population mean =
= $150
- Population standard deviation =
= $30.20
- Sample mean =
= $160
- Sample size = n = 40 > 30
- Level of significance =
= 2.5% = 0.025
- We want to determine if the average customer spends more in his store than the national average.
Forming hypotheses:
- Null Hypothesis: Nullifies what we're trying to determine. Assumes that the average customer doesn't spend more in the store than the national average. Symbolically, we get:
- Alternate hypothesis: Assumes that customer spends more in his store than the national average. Symbolically
where is the hypothesized population mean of the money his customer spends in his store.
The z-test statistic we get is:
The test is single tailed, (right tailed).
The critical value of z at level of significance 0.025 is 1.96
Since we've got 2.904 > 1.96, so we reject the null hypothesis.
(as for right tailed test, we reject null hypothesis if the test statistic is > critical value).
Thus, we accept the alternate hypothesis that customer spends more in his store than the national average.
