Z.TEST Function Explained

The Z.TEST Function in Microsoft Excel is used to calculate the one-tailed or two-tailed probability value of a normal distribution. It takes two arguments: an array of values and the mean of the population. It returns the probability that the sample mean is greater than or less than the population mean, depending on the type of test specified.
