A test statistic is negative 0 .9516.
00:06
That's our test statistic.
00:07
And we're testing against the null hypothesis that the population mean is different.
00:14
It's equal to 200 against the alternative, mean is not.
00:20
The keyword there is different from.
00:26
And so this is a two -tailed test because we're testing not equal to zero.
00:31
It means we're on either side of zero.
00:34
Two tails.
00:35
Two tailed test.
00:38
And because our distribution, t or z is going to be, well, z is normal, t is approximately normal.
00:45
We have this tail over here on the left, this tail over here on the right.
00:47
So it's two tails.
00:50
And we're not told in the prompt exactly what test statistic it is, but we'll do both just so we're clear.
00:57
So you know, regardless, in either case.
01:00
So let's just say it's z.
01:01
Let's say it's your z distribution.
01:04
What you can do is use your this spreadsheet function norm sdist and you put in that z score, that test statistic, i guess it's not telling us which one it is, and you get this number.
01:17
But this is only the one tailed value.
01:19
So this would be like, here's your negative 0 .956...
