Aspirin III: Decision and Conclusion Regarding the experiment in the data frame Aspirin from the abd package, the researchers wanted to know whether or not taking aspirin affects one's risk of developing cancer. Recall that they defined their parameters as follows: p1 = the proportion of ALL individuals who would develop cancer, if all of them were to take aspirin like the subjects in the Aspirin group did. p2 = the proportion of ALL individuals who would develop cancer, if all of them were to take a placebo, like the subjects in the placebo group did. They ran the code for a two-sided significance test and got the following results: ## ## ## Inferential Procedures for the Difference of Two Proportions p1-p2: ## cancer grouped by treatment ## ## ## Descriptive Results: ## ## yes n estimated.prop ## Aspirin 1438 19934 0.07214 ## Placebo 1427 19942 0.07156 ## ## ## Inferential Results: ## ## Estimate of p1-p2: 0.0005805 ## SE(p1.hat - p2.hat): 0.002586 ## ## 95% Confidence Interval for p1-p2: ## ## lower.bound upper.bound ## -0.004489 0.005650 ## ## Test of Significance: ## ## H_0: p1-p2 = 0 ## H_a: p1-p2 != 0 ## ## Test Statistic: z = 0.2245 ## P-value: P = 0.8224 Which of the following options are correct?
