Overview of Randomization test for 1-sample mean

Use Randomization test for 1-sample mean to compare the mean of a population to a target value or reference value. You can also use Randomization test for 1-sample mean to illustrate important statistical concepts.

For example, a quality analyst uses a randomization test to determine whether the average thread length of bolts differs from the target of 20 mm.

The p-value measures the evidence against the null hypothesis so that the analyst can decide whether the average is on-target.
The histogram shows the variation and shape of the sampling distribution.
Resampling techniques can show the effect of sample size on the sampling distribution.
