hi-z circult

When the pMOS and nMOS in the inverter are turned off, the path from VDD to Ground exists with resistances, so the output of it is in the state of "High-Z" (High Impedance)

I know that both resistors in the pmos and nmos exist in the path of output. For the case of Hi-Z at the output port, what is the approximate voltage range of the high impedance of output? Please show me the simple example for measuring the Hi-Z output voltage?
 

I'm looking for a method to measure Hi-Z (high impedance) output. As you know, the voltage level for Hi-Z is indefinite and not specific one, depending on the connected circuits with the output of Hi-Z. It's better to show me a simple example with the logic cell, having the output of high impedance.

Show you what? Hi-Z can't be simply measured. You can detect it by probing the node with a weakly driven sequence of high and low level. Just think about it, you'll surely figure it out.
