There are a two ways to calculate the Z-Test, having a list of data point or knowing the population mean [u], population standard deviation, mean, and n value. To calculate all of these values and have the P value shaded please use List & Spreadsheet App. The following example demonstrates how to perform a Z-Test calculation using any of the TI-Nspire family line of products given a list of data points.

 

Data for this example: {299.9, 197.7, 301, 298.9, 300.2, 297}
