depende sa population One-tailed (one population mean is greater than or less than the other) Two-tailed ( two populations are different from one another)

Z-test

One sample Z-test vs Two sample Z-test

want to know whether the difference between A sample mean and the population mean is large enough to be statistically significant, that is, if it is unlikely to have occurred by chance. testing TWO means when the variance is known and T-test if the variance is unknown.
