Proportions against a Specified Value

The Proportions Against a Specified Value test is used for large samples to test the hypothesis:

H₀: the proportion is the same in both populations
H₁: the proportion is [different to/greater than/less than] the specified value

The value of the Z statistic is calculated from:

z statistic

Where:

	proportion in the sample
	specified value of the proportion
n	sample size

The probability corresponding to Z₀ can be found from tables.
