Formula Sheet
confidence interval when \(\sigma\) is known:
\[\overline{x}-z_\alpha\cdot\left(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\right)<\mu<\overline{x}+z_\alpha\cdot\left(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\right)\]
Degrees of Freedom (for means):
\[n-1\]
confidence interval when the population standard deviation is unknown one uses the formula:
\[\overline{x}-t_\alpha\cdot\left(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\right)<\mu<\overline{x}+t_\alpha\cdot\big(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\big)\]
The formula for the \(z\)-test is:
\[z=\frac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\left(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\right)}\]
The formula for the \(t\)-test is:
\[t=\frac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\left(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\right)}\]
