Let
be the size of sample 1 and
be the number of event or success ,then the sample proportion
can be expressed:
.
Similarly,for another sample , sample size is
and
is the number of event,then sample proportion
Let
and
be the true population proportion for sample 1 and 2. and the
is the hypothesized difference between the population proportions.
for two tailed test
for One-tailed test
for One-tailed test
we can perform normal approximation test with assumptions :
and
,
and
.
To perform the test, calculates the
and
value :
.
A special case is that when
is zero, Origin can use a pooled estimate of p for the test if you check the "pooled" box to do this:
, where
The p-values for each hypotheses are given by:
,
,for two tailed test
,
,for upper tailed test
,
for lower tailed test
For a given confidence level
,the confidence interval for the sample proportion can be generated by:
| Null Hypothesis | Confidence Interval |
|---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fisher's exact test can be used for all sample sizes when
is zero.
Let p(x) denote the probility of hypergeometric distribution when X=x.
Let M denote hypergeometric distribution mode:
The p-values for each hypothesis are given below:
,
,
When

:
where y is the smallest integer
such that
.
where y is the largest integer
such that
