How it works

  • Pooled two-proportion z-test: z = (rate B − rate A) ÷ √(pooled rate × (1 − pooled rate) × (1/nA + 1/nB))
  • Two-sided p-value from the normal distribution; “significant at 95%” means p < 0.05.

How to read it

Decide your sample size before the test and only check the result once it’s reached — stopping as soon as a test looks significant makes the p-value meaningless. A significant result isn’t automatically a large or valuable one.
