u u u u u 2-Prop Z Interval
2-Prop Z Interval uses the number of data items to calculate the confidence interval for the
defference between the proportion of successes in two populations.
The following is the confidence interval.
α
is the level of significance. The value 100 (1 –
α
)
% is the confidence level.
