Question

There is some concern that people admitted to the ICU with an infection die at a higher proportion than those admitted without an infection.

A random sample of ICU patients was taken. The variables of interest are whether the patient entered the ICU with an infection or not, and whether the patient lived or died. A summary of the data is in the two-way table below.

 

  Lived Died Totals
Infection 55 21 76
No infection 98 17 115
Totals 153 38 191

Test the claim that the proportion of ICU patients with an infection who died is higher than the proportion of ICU patients without an infection who died at the 0.05 significance level.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

H0:pI=pNH0:pI=pN
H1:pI>pNH1:pI>pN
H0:pI=pNH0:pI=pN
H1:pI≠pNH1:pI≠pN
H0:μI=μNH0:μI=μN
H1:μI<μNH1:μI<μN
H0:μI=μNH0:μI=μN
H1:μI≠μNH1:μI≠μN
H0:μI=μNH0:μI=μN
H1:μI>μNH1:μI>μN
H0:pI=pNH0:pI=pN
H1:pI<pNH1:pI<pN

 

The test is:

right-tailed
left-tailed
two-tailed

 

The sample statistic is:  (to 3 decimals)

The standard error is:  (to 3 decimals)

The test statistic is:  (to 3 decimals)

The p-value is:  (to 3 decimal places)

Based on this we:

  • Fail to reject the null hypothesis
  • Reject the null hypothesis
