Answer to Problem 1TP

The Z-test is used when the sample size is large (>30) and the population standard deviation or variance is known. One sample Z-test can be used for comparing one sample mean with population mean.

Explanation of Solution

The central limit theorem states that if the sample size tends to be larger, then the test statistics tends to be a normal distribution. For large sample size and known population variance, one sample Z-test is appropriate to use. One sample Z-test is used for comparing one sample mean with population mean.
