Question

In a study of the effectiveness of a new device that supports a weak or damaged heart, 150 people who consented to treatment were assigned at random to either a standard treatment consisting of drugs or the experimental treatment that consisted of drugs and surgery to install the new device. After two years, 60% of the 67 patients who received the device had improved and 40% of the patients who received the standard treatment had improved. Does this data provide convincing evidence that the proportion of patients who recieved the experimental treatment who improved is higher than for the patients who received the standard treatment? Test the relevant hypotheses using a significance level of 0.05. (Use 

pexperimental − pstandard

).

A) State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H0: pe − ps = 0, HA: pe − ps ≠ 0
H0: pe − ps = 0, HA: pe − ps < 0
    
H0: pe − ps = 0, HA: pe − ps > 0



B) Find the test statistic.
z = 

C) What is the p-value?
P-Value = 

D) State your conclusion in terms of the null hypothesis.

We fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is conclusive evidence that the the device is more effective.We fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not conclusive evidence that the device is more effective.    We reject the null hypothesis. There is conclusive evidence that the device is more effective.We reject the null hypothesis. There is not conclusive evidence that the device is more effective.
