2.PropZTest (two-proportion z test; item 6) computes a test to
compare the proportion of successes (p
1
and p
2
) from two
populations. It takes as input the count of successes in each
sample (x
1
and x
2
) and the count of observations in each sample
(n
1
and n
2
). 2.PropZTest tests the null hypothesis H
0
: p
1
=p
2
(using the pooled sample proportion Ç) against one of the
alternatives below.
