Interpreting A/B test results: false negatives and power

The Netflix TechBlog

We then used simple thought exercises based on flipping coins to build intuition around false positives and related concepts such as statistical significance, p-values, and confidence intervals. As a result, if the test treatment results in a small reduction in the latency metric, it’s hard to successfully identify?

A resilient system continues to operate successfully in the presence of failures.
