deviation s = 3.5. We assume that we don't know the value of the population
standard deviation, therefore, we calculate a t statistic as follows:
t
=
o
The corresponding P-value, for n = 25 - 1 = 24 degrees of freedom is
P-value = 2⋅UTPT(24,-0.7142) = 2⋅0.7590 = 1.5169,
since 1.5169 > 0.05, i.e., P-value > α, we cannot reject the null hypothesis
: µ = 22.0.

One-sided hypothesis
The problem consists in testing the null hypothesis H
alternative hypothesis, H
α)100%, or significance level α, using a sample of size n with a mean x and
a standard deviation s. This test is referred to as a one-sided or one-tailed
test.
The procedure for performing a one-side test starts as in the two-tailed
test by calculating the appropriate statistic for the test (t
above.
Next, we use the P-value associated with either z
to decide whether or not to reject the null hypothesis. The P-value for a two-
sided test is defined as either
P-value = P(z > |z
The criteria to use for hypothesis testing is:
if P-value < α
Reject H
o
Do not reject H
o
Notice that the criteria are exactly the same as in the two-sided test. The main
difference is the way that the P-value is calculated. The P-value for a one-
sided test can be calculated using the probability functions in the calculator as
follows:
