Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Sample Size for A/B Tests. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.

Problem

Scenario

You're planning an experiment on a product surface and need to decide how much traffic to allocate and how long to run it. You want the test to be sensitive enough to detect a meaningful lift without running longer than necessary.

Question

How do you determine the right sample size and test duration for an A/B test?
