IntroductionThe data set of Century National Bank shows account balance in dollars, number of ATM transactions in the month, number of other bank services used, customers who use a debit card and those who do not, the accounts which receives interest, and city of origin. Century National Bank has a vast amount of account information to maintain. This one-sample hypothesis paper will formulate both a numerical and verbal hypothesis and show the five step hypothesis of the data that is acquired. The experiment will also describe the results and findings of the hypothesis testing to answer the question above. This paper will analyze raw data tables and the results of the Z-test using both graphical and tabular methods.
