This is my 50 data set. I was asked to perform a hypothesis testing on whether the mean of the following data is more than 50 or not. Due to large sample size, i should perfom a Z test. However, my lecturer only taught us how to perform a t test. By doing the step distribution analysis, and the value given is also t value. 

May i know how to perform z test for the hypothesis testing using SAS enterprise?

It is significant . is NOT equal 50 at alpha=0.05 .

 

 

Basic Confidence Limits Assuming Normality

Mean is great than 50 at alpha=0.05 .
