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.


What is a t-test?

a t test is used inplace of a z-test when the population standard deviation is unknown.


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.


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


How does the formula for the t test differ from the formula for the z test?

When we use a z-test, we know the population mean and standard deviation. When we use a t-test, we do not know the population standard deviation and thus must estimate this using the sample data that we have collected. If you look at your z-table and t-table, tcrit for df(infinity) = zcrit because at df(infinity) we would have an entire population and no longer need an estimate.


Why would you use a t test rather than a z test?

When the sample size is greater than 30


Why would you use a z test rather than a t test?

When the sample size is greater than 30

Is the Z-test the same as Z-scores?

No, the Z-test is not the same as a Z-score. The Z-test is where you take the Z-score and compare it to a critical value to determine if the null hypothesis will be rejected or fail to be rejected.


What is the p value of a test statistic of 1.369?

The answer depends on what the test statistic is: a t-statistic, z-score, chi square of something else.


When is a t test better than a z score?

When you don't have the population standard deviation, but do have the sample standard deviation. The Z score will be better to do as long as it is possible to do it.


What is the difference between t test and z test?

Whereas a t-test is used for n30, where n=sample size. n &lt; 30 or n &gt; 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&gt;30, in which case, we can safely assume that the distribution is normal.
