ZTEST function

The ZTEST function is one of the statistical functions. It is used to return the one-tailed probability-value of a z-test. For a given hypothesized population mean, μ0, ZTEST returns the probability that the sample mean would be greater than the average of observations in the data set (array) - that is, the observed sample mean.

Syntax​

ZTEST(array, x, [sigma])

The ZTEST function has the following arguments:

ArgumentDescription
arrayThe range of numeric values against which to test x.
xThe value to test.
sigmaA population standard deviation. This is an optional argument. If it is omitted, the sample standard deviation is used.
