Whereas a t-test is used for n30, where n=sample size. n < 30 or n > 30 is not entirely arbitrary; it is intended to indicate that n must be sufficiently large to use the normal distribution. In some cases, n must be greater than 50. Note, both the t-test and the z-test can only be used if the distribution from which the sample is being drawn is a normal distribution. A z-test can be used even if the distribution is not normal (but is not severely skewed) if n>30, in which case, we can safely assume that the distribution is normal.

What is the difference between t test and z test in hypothesis testing?
It depends on the population.Use t-test for a small population, N < 30; otherwiase, apply z-test or when N>=30.
What is the difference between 2 sample z test statistic and 2 sample t test statistic?

Is a z test or t test used more often?
t test, because the z test requires knowing the population standard deviation and that's rare. The t test embodies an estimate of the standard deviation.
How do you decide whether to use a z test or a t test when testing a hypothesis about a population mean?
You use a z test when you are testing a hypothesis that is using proportions You use a t test when you are testing a hypothesis that is using means
What is the difference between principal argument and argument of a complex number?
PRINCIPAL ARGUMENT = ARGUMENT + 2nPI arg(Z) = Arg (Z) + 2nPI
