Math Problem Statement

Perform a Z-test and find the p-value using the given Z-test formula and normal distribution chart.

Solution

It looks like you uploaded an image related to a statistics problem asking you to perform a Z-test and find the p-value. Here's a breakdown of the problem and steps involved:

  1. Z-Test Formula: Z=XˉμσnZ = \frac{\bar{X} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} Where:

    • Xˉ\bar{X} is the sample mean.
    • μ\mu is the population mean.
    • σ\sigma is the population standard deviation.
    • nn is the sample size.
  2. P-Value: The p-value is the probability that the test statistic (Z) falls within the observed distribution under the null hypothesis. The area under the curve to the left of the calculated Z-score gives the p-value.

  3. Steps on the Image:

    • Step 1: Choose between a one-tailed or two-tailed test. A two-tailed test is chosen in your case.
    • Step 2: Input the Z-score (rounded to 3 decimal places).
    • Step 3: The shaded region under the curve represents the p-value.
    • Step 4: Input the calculated p-value (rounded to 3 decimal places).

Let me know the Z-score or any other values you have, and I can help you calculate the p-value. Alternatively, I can guide you through the process of solving it.

Would you like details on how to calculate this or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:

  1. What is the difference between one-tailed and two-tailed tests?
  2. How is the Z-score related to confidence intervals?
  3. Why is the normal distribution used in Z-tests?
  4. What is the significance level (α\alpha) and how does it relate to the p-value?
  5. How do we interpret the p-value in hypothesis testing?

Tip: Always check whether your test should be one-tailed or two-tailed. This impacts the area you calculate under the curve and the corresponding p-value.
