Interactive FAQ
What does the test statistic represent?
The test statistic represents the number of standard deviations your sample proportion is from the hypothesized proportion.
What is the significance level?
The significance level is the probability of observing the test statistic or a more extreme value, assuming the null hypothesis is true.
