Simulating A/B tests is a practical way to understand how different variants perform in growth experiments. By writing a Python function that models an A/B test, you can quickly analyze which version leads to better user conversion. This approach is essential for making data-driven decisions in growth hacking, as it helps you evaluate experiment outcomes with clear, reproducible calculations.
