| Sep 3, 2014 at 21:08 | comment | added | Joel W. | To compare your mean to the published mean, a z test would seem to make sense, since the population mean and SD are known, if the distribution is normal or near normal. | |
| Sep 3, 2014 at 19:59 | comment | added | Terenz | sorry, it is a my complication and it could be meaningless. Probably it's better call it "reference value" instead of "legislated values" as in the main question. So, I'll rephrase my complication: How could I compare my sperimental value with a "reference value" expressed with mean value and SD ? the ref.value could be obtained from handbook, journal articles, etc. | |
| Sep 3, 2014 at 0:05 | comment | added | Joel W. | Is the intent of the legislation to describe a minimum, maximum, or what? | |
| Sep 2, 2014 at 23:34 | comment | added | Terenz | Could I add a Complexity ? What could I do if the legislated values are expressed with mean value and SD ? | |
| Sep 1, 2014 at 15:43 | comment | added | Joel W. | If the legislation calls for the value to be within the range, then 2 one-sided tests would make sense. | |
| Sep 1, 2014 at 15:09 | comment | added | Terenz | thanks. So two "one-side" analysis for both sides of the range. | |
