Single-sample tests

Single-sample tests are statistical methods used to determine whether the average of one group differs significantly from a known value or a specific standard. For example, if a manufacturer wants to check if the average weight of a product batch matches the target weight, they can use a single-sample test. It analyzes data from just one sample to make this comparison, helping businesses or researchers decide if the observed results are due to random chance or if there’s a genuine difference worth noting.
