Hypothesis Testing Using Pre-Programmed Features - HP 50g User Manual

Two-tailed test
If using a two-tailed test we will find the value of z
Pr[Z> z
where (z) is the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the standard normal
distribution.
Reject the null hypothesis, H
In other words, the rejection region is R = { |z
region is A = {|z
One-tailed test
If using a one-tailed test we will find the value of z
Reject the null hypothesis, H
H : p -p <p .

As with the calculation of confidence intervals, discussed earlier, this program
offers the following 6 options:
