2-Sample Z Test
Command: TwoSampleZTest䡺
Description: Tests a hypothesis relative to the population mean of two populations when the
standard deviations of the two populations are known. A 2-Sample Z Test is
used for normal distributions.

o1 : mean of sample 1 data
o2 : mean of sample 2 data
σ 1 : population standard deviation of sample 1
σ 2 : population standard deviation of sample 2
n1 : size of sample 1
n2 : size of sample 2
Command Syntax
Syntax 1 (list format)
“ µ 1 condition”, σ 1 value, σ 2 value, List(1), List(2), Freq(1) (or 1), Freq(2) (or 1)
* “Freq” can be omitted. Doing so sets “1” for “Freq”.
Syntax 2 (parameter format)
“ µ 1 condition”, σ 1 value, σ 2 value, o1 value, n1 value, o2 value, n2 value
Definition of Terms
µ 1 condition : population mean value test conditions (“≠” specifies two-tail test,
“<” specifies one-tail test where sample 1 is less than sample 2, “>”
specifies one-tail test where sample 1 is greater than sample 2).
σ 1 : population standard deviation of sample 1 ( σ 1 > 0)
σ 2 : population standard deviation of sample 2 ( σ 2 > 0)
List(1) : list where sample 1 data is located
List(2) : list where sample 2 data is located
Freq(1) : frequency of sample 1 (1 or list name)
Freq(2) : frequency of sample 2 (1 or list name)
o1 : mean of sample 1 data
n1 : size of sample 1 (positive integer)
o2 : mean of sample 2 data
n2 : size of sample 2 (positive integer)
Input Example:
Syntax 1 (list format)

Syntax 2 (parameter format)
TwoSampleZTest “≠”,1,1,11.5,10,15,20
