2.PropZTest (two-proportion z test) 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 (
x1
and x2) and the count of observations in each sample (n1 and n2).
2.PropZTest tests the null hypothesis H
0
: p

=p
2
(using the pooled sample proportion Ç)
against one of the alternatives below.
