2-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
