Tests for the parameter of a Binomial distribution

Tests for the parameter of a binomial distribution and their properties and assumptions.

Test	Purpose
Binomial exact	Test if the proportion with the outcome of interest is equal to a hypothesized value. Uses the binomial distribution and computes an exact p-value. The test is conservative, that is, the type I error is guaranteed to be less than or equal to the desired significance level. Recommended for small sample sizes.
Score Z	Test if the proportion with the outcome of interest is equal to a hypothesized value. Uses the score statistic and computes an asymptotic p-value. Equivalent to Pearson's X² test. Recommended for general use.
