that

Wˆ = [

(X¯ − θ0)√ X¯ (1 − X¯ )/n

]2 ,

and that

Sˆ = [

(X¯ − θ0)√ θ0(1 − θ0)/n

]2 .

As an example, let X1, X2, . . . , Xn constitute a random sample of size n from a N(μ, σ2) parent population. Consider testing the composite null hypothesis

H0 : μ = μ0, 0 < σ2 < +∞, versus the composite alternative hypothesis H1 : μ = μ0, 0 < σ2 < +∞. Note that this test is typically called a test of H0 : μ = μ0 versus H1 : μ = μ0.
