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
