Method Detail

testStatistics

public double testStatistics(double xBar)

Returns the test statistics for the given sample mean xBar.

z = (xBar - mu) / (sigma / sqrt(n))

Parameters:

xBar - sample mean

Returns:

test statistic z score

criticalValue

public java.lang.String criticalValue()

Returns the critical value corresponding to the given confidence level and type of test. Uses the z distribution.

Returns:

critical value

Parameters:

xBar - x bar value

Returns:

p-value corresponding to xBar
