Decoding A/B Testing Statistics in Colab

The Curiosity Trigger
"Why do some A/B tests fail silently?" Fired up Google Colab, built demo conversion datasets, chased statistical truth.
Experiment Playground
Z-Test Bootcamp: Two-proportion tests showed p-values shrinking with sample size. 5% lift needed 10x samples for significance.
Quality Traps: Sample-ratio mismatch killed tests. Chi-square flagged imbalances instantly. One-sided vs two-sided p-values? Totally different stories.
The "Now I Get It" Moment
When Variant B beat A at 95% confidence with perfect sample ratios? That's experimentation science - not guesswork.
Learning Stack
- Google Colab: Stats laboratory
- Python: Z-tests + chi-square
- Datasets: SaaS conversions
Core Insight
A/B success = rigorous design + quality controls. Statistics don't lie when you ask the right questions.
