- Sainmhíniú test that rejects the null hypothesis that the groups under consideration differ by at least Δ and declares that two groups are similar at the α = 0.05 level, if the 90 percent confidence interval for the difference in coverage is completely contained in the interval with endpoints –Δ and +Δ Tagairt Lawrence E.
