This tool helps you find the Z critical value for your statistical data.
How to Use This Z Critical Value Calculator
Enter the mean value (μ), standard deviation (σ), sample size (n), and the desired confidence level (e.g., 0.95 for 95%) into the corresponding fields. Click on the “Calculate” button to compute the Z critical value and the margin of error.
How It Works
The Z critical value is calculated based on the provided confidence level. This value is determined by finding the inverse standard normal distribution for the given confidence level. The margin of error is then calculated using the formula:
Margin of Error = Z critical value * (σ / √n)
Where σ is the standard deviation, and n is the sample size.
Limitations
This calculator assumes that the sample follows a normal distribution. For small sample sizes or non-normal distributions, the results may not be accurate. Also, it is important to ensure that all input values are correctly filled to get a meaningful result.
