Example:
A survey claims that 9 out of 10 doctors recommend aspirin for their patients with headaches. To test this claim,
a random sample of 100 doctors is obtained. Of these 100 doctors, 82 indicate that they recommend aspirin. Is this
claim correct? Use alpha = 0.05
z-Tests are commonly done when the population standard deviation is known. t-Tests are commonly done when the population standard deviation is unknown. We use the t-distribution because the unknown population standard deviation is now a value we must estimate.
