Question

A study was performed to test the effectiveness of aspirin in the treatment of
strokes. There were 155 patients in the study. A random sample of 78 of these
patients were placed in the “aspirin” group, and the remaining 77 in the “control”
group. After six months of treatment, all the patients were evaluated and their
condition recorded as either favorable or unfavorable. Of the 78 “aspirin” patients,
63 had favorable outcomes; of the 77 “control” patients, 43 had favorable
outcomes. We want to test the null hypothesis that the percentage of favorable
outcomes is the same between the two conditions.

 

 

Calculate the p-value and express what it means in plain words.

 

 

 Do you reject the null hypothesis? State your conclusion in the context of the
original problem.
