Statistical significance report
This report does a statistical test to see whether any differences in response rate are significant, given the size of the samples used. The (±) column shows how different the response rate could have been on another occasion with a similar sized run. For example, a response rate of 30% ± 20% could be anywhere between 10% and 50%. The Z-Score for a given row shows whether this row's result is significant — a value less than 1.96 is not significant, meaning that a different run could well yield the opposite result when compared against the control.
Note
The report is only given as an option where a Response step exists.
Viewing the report¶
