A/B Test Design & Statistical Rigor Questions

Designing and statistically defending a controlled online experiment: framing a testable hypothesis, defining control and treatment variants, choosing the randomization unit, setting the primary success metric, and computing sample size, power, and minimum detectable effect. Covers the statistical foundations that make a readout trustworthy, including hypothesis testing, p-values, confidence intervals, statistical vs practical significance, and Type I/II error. Emphasizes avoiding the common pitfalls that invalidate a test, such as peeking, multiple-comparison inflation, underpowered designs, and how test duration and stopping rules affect the validity of conclusions.
