In this section we will be comparing one sample mean to one known or hypothesized population value. In Lesson 5 you learned how to conduct randomization tests. Here, you will learn how to conduct a one sample mean \(t\) test and a one sample mean \(z\) test. The \(t\) distribution is used to estimate the sampling distribution when the sample size is large (at least 30) or when the population is known to be normally distributed (but \(\sigma\) is unknown). The \(z\) distribution is used on rare occasions when the population is normal and the population standard deviation is known. Note that for this course the one sample mean \(z\) test is optional; it used only in specific cases where the population is known to be normally distributed and when the population standard deviation (\(\sigma\)) is known. The most commonly used one sample mean test is the "one sample mean \(t\) test" which is also known as a "single sample mean \(t\) test."
