How do you find the test statistic in Minitab?
To perform a one sample mean test in Minitab using raw data:
- Open the Minitab file: class_survey.
- Select Stat > Basic Statistics > 1-sample t.
- Select One or more samples, each in a column from the dropdown.
- Double-click on the variable GPA to insert it into the Sample box.
- Check the box Perform a hypothesis test.
What is test statistic value Minitab?
Learn more about Minitab 19. A test statistic is a random variable that is calculated from sample data and used in a hypothesis test. You can use test statistics to determine whether to reject the null hypothesis. The test statistic compares your data with what is expected under the null hypothesis.

How do you find the p-value of a test statistic?
How to calculate p-value from test statistic?
- Left-tailed test: p-value = cdf(x)
- Right-tailed test: p-value = 1 – cdf(x)
- Two-tailed test: p-value = 2 * min{cdf(x) , 1 – cdf(x)}
What is test statistic value?
The test statistic compares your data with what is expected under the null hypothesis. The test statistic is used to calculate the p-value. A test statistic measures the degree of agreement between a sample of data and the null hypothesis.
Is z-score the test statistic?
A z-test is a statistical test to determine whether two population means are different when the variances are known and the sample size is large. A z-test is a hypothesis test in which the z-statistic follows a normal distribution. A z-statistic, or z-score, is a number representing the result from the z-test.
How do you find the value of the test statistic?
How to calculate a test statistic
- Find the raw scores of the populations. Assume you want to perform a z-test to determine whether the means of two populations are equal.
- Calculate the standard deviation of the population.
- Calculate the population mean.
- Evaluate the z-value.
- Apply the t-test formula.
- Interpret the results.
Is test statistic the same as p-value?
The test statistic is used to calculate the p-value of your results, helping to decide whether to reject your null hypothesis.
Is T score the same as test statistic?
The t-score is the test statistic used in t-tests and regression tests. It can also be used to describe how far from the mean an observation is when the data follow a t-distribution.
How do you find the test statistic value?
Generally, the test statistic is calculated as the pattern in your data (i.e. the correlation between variables or difference between groups) divided by the variance in the data (i.e. the standard deviation).

How does Minitab calculate the confidence interval?
Minitab uses the standard error of the mean to calculate the confidence interval. The difference is the unknown difference between the population means that you want to estimate. Minitab indicates which population mean is subtracted from the other. The difference is the difference between the means of the two samples.
