Z Test P Value Calculator

A Z-test p value is the probability in the selected standard-normal tail(s).

Inputs and units

  • Z test statistic: Enter your value in the format and unit shown.
  • Alternative hypothesis: Choose Two-sided, Right-tailed, Left-tailed.

Calculation method

A Z-test p value is the probability in the selected standard-normal tail(s).

Worked example

The example values are: Z test statistic = 1.96; Alternative hypothesis = two

  • P value: 0.0499956503
  • Distribution: Standard normal (Z test)

Assumptions and limitations

Normal approximation only. Do not use this tool for t, chi-square or F statistics. A p value is not the probability that a hypothesis is true.
