Special tests for the normal distribution

Tests for µ

  1. sigma^2 known
  2. sigma^2 unknown

Tests for sigma^2

  1. µ known
  2. µ unknown

Two-Sample Tests

  1. Tests for equality of means:
     
    If sigma^2_1 and sigma^2_2 are known, reject H_0 if

    |\overlineX_n- \overline{Y......{sigma^2_1n + \frac{sigma^2_2m

    and if the variance are not known, but are at least equal, reject H_0 if

    |\overlineX_n- \overline{Y......-1)S_X^2+(m-1)S_Y^2)}

    where S_X^2 and S_Y^2 denote the sample variances of the samples (X_1,...,X_n) and (Y_1,...,Y_m) respectively.
  2. Test for equality of the variances:
     
    Reject H_0 if

    \frac{S_X^2{S_Y^2 > F_{......^2{S_Y^2 < F_{n-1,m-1;\frac{alpha}2
