Summarized data

Complete the following steps if you have summary statistics for the two samples, rather than actual sample data in the worksheet:

From the drop-down list, select Summarized data.
In Number of events, enter the number of successes. For example, if you want to determine the proportion of defective parts, the number of events would equal the number of defective parts.
In Number of trials, enter the total number of observations. For example, if you want to determine the proportion of defective parts, the number of trials would equal the total number of parts that you sampled.
