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

Definition of Terms
μ
1
condition : population mean value test conditions (“
x
” 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)
