9.1 Z test for the Mean
| Z test for the Mean | Problem: | |
| You are the manager for Oxford Cereals. Among other responsibilities | ||
| Data | , you are responsible for monitoring the amount in each cereal box. | |
| Null Hypothesis | Company specifications requrie a mean weight of 368 grams per box. | |
| Level of Significance | 0.05 | You select a random sample size of 25 ceral boxes. The standard deviation of the cereal |
| Population Standard Deviation | filing process is 15 grams and we found the sample mean to be 372.5 grams | |

| Standard Error of the Mean | B6/SQRT(B7) | |
| Z Test Statistic | (B8-B4)/B11 | |
| Two- Tail Test | ||
| Lower Critical Value | NORMSINV(B5/2) | |
| Upper Critical value | NORMSINV(1-B5/2) | |
| p-value | 2*(1-NORMSDIST(ABS(B12))) | |
| IF(B17<B5, "reject null hypothesis", "Do not reject null hypothesis") |
