Z.TEST()/ZTEST()
Syntax. Z.TEST(array,μ0,sigma)
Definition. This function returns the one-tailed probability value for a Gauss test (normal distribution). For the expected value of a random variable (μ0), the Z.TEST() function returns the probability that the sample mean would be greater than the average of observations in the data set (array)—that is, the observed sample mean.

μ0 (required). The value to test.
sigma (optional). The known standard deviation of the population. If this argument is not specified, the standard deviation of the sample is used.
