------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jun 16 12:09:00 +0000 2008 ------- z.test does the two-tailed test by default:- ===== > y<-c(110,105,105,100) > z.test(y,100,5) One Sample z-test data: y z = 2, n = 4.0, Std. Dev. = 5.0, Std. Dev. of the sample mean = 2.5, p-value = 0.0455 alternative hypothesis: true mean is not equal to 100 95 percent confidence interval: 100.1001 109.8999 sample estimates: mean of y 105 ====== p-value of 0.0455 is exactly twice what Excel gives - which is right, because when the sample mean is above the population mean Excel does the one-tailed test. In summary this all hangs together. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
