The sample mean has mean and variance . The central limit theorem gives a normal approximation for interior when both expected binomial counts are sufficiently large. Under the null hypothesis, a level- upper-tail cutoff is approximatelyTo obtain the power function, evaluate this same cutoff under the true statistical parameter , standardizing with :Here is the standard normal distribution's cumulative distribution function. The formula treats the binomial threshold as continuous; exact integer cutoffs and boundary randomization are finite-sample refinements.
