Z Test Population Mean ( ) and ( ) Known or Unknown Variance Sample Size N 30

This document discusses z-tests and t-tests for hypothesis testing. It provides an example of a z-test with a known population variance to test if the mean of a sample is greater than 45. It also provides an example of a t-test with an unknown population variance to test if the mean height in a population is 7 feet based on a sample of 4 heights. The document explains the steps for both tests, including stating the null and alternative hypotheses, identifying the test statistic, performing computations, identifying the critical region, and interpreting whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

A random sample of size 36 is taken from normal population with known variance = 25.if the
mean of sample =42.6 . Test the null hypothesis against less or equal 45 and alternative
hypothesis greater then 45.
