Two–Proportion Z–Test

Menu name	Z–Test: P1–P2
	On the basis of statistics from two samples, each from a
	different population, the 2 proportion Z–Test measures the
	strength of the evidence for a selected hypothesis against the
	null hypothesis. The null hypothesis is that the proportion of
	successes in the two populations is equal.
	(H0: π1= π2).
	You select one of the following alternative hypotheses against
	which to test the null hypothesis:
		H1￿π1 < π2
		H1￿π1 > π2
		H1￿π1 ≠ π2
Inputs	The inputs are:
	Field name	Definition
	;1	Sample 1 mean.
	X2	Sample 2 mean.
	n1	Sample 1 size.
	n2	Sample 2 size.
	α	Significance level.
