// Suppose there is a text comprehension test being run across
// a given demographic region. The mean score of the population
// from this entire region are around 100 points, with a standard
// deviation of 12 points.
// There is a local school, however, whose 55 students attained
// an average score in the test of only about 96 points. Would
// their scores be surprisingly that low, or could this event
// have happened due to chance?
// So we would like to check that a sample of
// 55 students with a mean score of 96 points:
int sampleSize = 55;
double sampleMean = 96;
// Was expected to have happened by chance in a population with
// an hypothesized mean of 100 points and standard deviation of
// about 12 points:
double standardDeviation = 12;
double hypothesizedMean = 100;
// So we start by creating the test:
ZTest test = new ZTest(sampleMean, standardDeviation, sampleSize,
hypothesizedMean, OneSampleHypothesis.ValueIsSmallerThanHypothesis);
// Now, we can check whether this result would be
// unlikely under a standard significance level:
bool significant = test.Significant;
// We can also check the test statistic and its P-Value
