z-test

Hi guys! I have a statistics question that I am completely stumped with: From a sample of people (n=36), with certain eating habits, a mean cholesterol value of 4.1 mmol/l was calculated. From a medical reference table, it is shown that 95% of all values are between 3.2 – 6.2 mmol/l for the...

Dear statistics community, My supervisor asked me to compare values of Pohar Perme estimator of net survival in two regions of the country using Z-test. Am I right that we cannot use Z-test for comparing these estimator values? Pohar Perme estimator of net survival is defined in the paper...

We did an intervention to reduce the frequency of use of a certain type of treatment and now I want to compare the data pre vs post intervention. For each month I have the number of treatments per 1000 patient visits (because the monthly number of visits fluctuates). I have 6 months of...

Hello, I am not a statistician, however, for my latest small research, I would like to test whether there is a difference between two independent groups of samples in terms of proportions (one with a condition and one without a condition). I have researched this problem and find out that...

How would I conduct a z test when I don't have "n"? The instructor never went over what to do without an "n". It has always been provided. Please help me! The national norm for fifth graders on a standardized test of scientific literacy is 37 (σ = 3). Mrs. Jackson determines that the mean...

I use SPSS custom tables and column proportions (z-test). This is in the output if the column proportion is equal to 0 or 1, "This category is not used in comparisons because its column proportion is equal to zero or one". This happens when 0% or 100% of respondents select an option. When...

I have five samples with their means (60, 58, 61.5, 48 and 42) and standard deviations (1, 3, 1.5, 4 and 2) for 3 trials. How to check whether there is a significant difference between these values by statistically.

I am examining populations (cultures) of yeast cells and scoring them for a particular trait. The data is categorical; within a population, a yeast cell either has the trait or it does not. I wish to compare two populations -- two genetically different strains of yeast -- to see whether there...

I have been running a number of Crosstabs in SPSS 21 doing Chi-square and Z-tests. It was all going well and making sense until I tried the latest set of cosstabs with predictor variables with large numbers of categories (the dependent variable still only has 2 categories). When I ran the...
