In Exercises 5–18, test the given claim.
15. Clinical Trial of Echinacea In a clinical trial of the effectiveness of echinacea for preventing colds, the results in the table below were obtained (based on data from “An Evaluation of Echinacea Angustifolia in Experimental Rhinovirus Infections,” by Turner et al., New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 353, No. 4). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that getting a cold is independent of the treatment group. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of echinacea as a prevention against colds?

Twenty-four Cornell University students and staff (12 males and 12 females) volunteered to participate in the study. Three groups of 4 men and 4 women were selected by their stature to represent the 5th percentile (female 152.1 ± 0.3 cm, male 164.1 ± 0.4 cm), 50th percentile (female 162.4 ± 0.1 cm, male 174.1 ± 0.7 cm), and 95th percentile (female 171.9 ± 0.2 cm, male 185.7 ± 0.6 cm) ranges....
