In a study of treatments for very painful​ "cluster" headaches, 141 patients were treated with oxygen and 153 other patients were given a placebo consisting of ordinary air. Among the 141 patients in the oxygen treatment​ group, 115 were free from headaches 15 minutes after treatment. Among the 153 patients given the​ placebo, 22 were free from headaches 15 minutes after treatment. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the oxygen treatment is effective. Complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below.

Question
In a study of treatments for very painful​ "cluster" headaches,
141
patients were treated with oxygen and
153
other patients were given a placebo consisting of ordinary air. Among the
141
patients in the oxygen treatment​ group,
115
were free from headaches 15 minutes after treatment. Among the
153
patients given the​ placebo,
22
were free from headaches 15 minutes after treatment. Use a
0.01
significance level to test the claim that the oxygen treatment is effective. Complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below.
a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.
 
Consider the first sample to be the sample of patients treated with oxygen and the second sample to be the sample of patients given a placebo. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis​ test?
 
 
A.
H0​:
p1≠p2
H1​:
p1=p2
 
B.
H0​:
p1=p2
H1​:
p1≠p2
 
C.
H0​:
p1=p2
H1​:
p1>p2
 
D.
H0​:
p1≥p2
H1​:
p1≠p2
 
E.
H0​:
p1≤p2
H1​:
p1≠p2
 
F.
H0​:
p1=p2
H1​:
p1<p2
 
Identify the test statistic.
 
z=11.5411.54
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
 
Identify the​ P-value.
 
​P-value=0.0010.001
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
What is the conclusion based on the hypothesis​ test?
 
The​ P-value is
less than
greater than
less than
the significance level of
α=0.01​,
so
reject
fail to reject
reject
the null hypothesis. There
is sufficient
is not sufficient
is sufficient
evidence to support the claim that the cure rate with oxygen treatment is higher than the cure rate for those given a placebo.
 
b. Based on the​ results, is the oxygen treatment​ effective?
 
 
A.
The results suggest that the oxygen treatment is not effective in curing​ "cluster" headaches because the cure rates appear to be the same.
 
B.
The results suggest that the oxygen treatment is not effective in curing​ "cluster" headaches because the cure rate for the oxygen treatment appears to be lower than that of the placebo.
 
C.
The results suggest that the oxygen treatment is effective in curing​ "cluster" headaches.
