First, we calculate the appropriate statistic for the test (t
If n < 30 and the standard deviation of the population, σ, is known,
use the z-statistic:
If n > 30, and σ is known, use z
replace s for σ in z
If n < 30, and σ is unknown, use the t-statistic
n - 1 degrees of freedom.
Then, calculate the P-value (a probability) associated with either z
compare it to α 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

Do not reject H

The P-value for a two-sided test can be calculated using the probability
functions in the calculator as follows:
If using z,
If using t,
