The n-sample location test can be built up as a series of tests of this type because the one-sample location test is always exactly of this type.
The n-sample location test can be built up as a series of tests of this type because the one-sample location test is always exactly of this type. A priori, this procedure requires knowledge of the population variance, an assumption relaxed in a similar procedure in which the central statistic is different by a factor of root sample size from the central statistic in this test. The statistic central to this test is equal to the sample mean minus the assumed true mean all over the standard deviation; it is used as a parameter in the standard normal cdf to generate a p value, the probability that the (*) null hypothesis holds. For 10 points, name this simplest type of statistical test that is similar to the more general t-test.
