Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 7–22, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
20. Does Aspirin Prevent Heart Disease? In a trial designed to test the effectiveness of aspirin in preventing heart disease, 11,037 male physicians were treated with aspirin and 11,034 male physicians were given placebos. Among the subjects in the aspirin treatment group, 139 experienced myocardial infarctions (heart attacks). Among the subjects given placebos, 239 experienced myocardial infarctions (based on data from “Final Report on the Aspirin Component of the Ongoing Physicians’ Health Study,” New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 321: 129-135). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that aspirin has no effect on myocardial infarctions.
a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.
b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.
c. Based on the results, does aspirin appear to be effective?

Toxic Mushrooms? Cadmium, a heavy metal, is toxic to ani-mals. Mushrooms, however, are able to absorb and accumulate cad-mium at high concentrations. The Czech and Slovak governments have set a safety limit for cadmium in dry vegetables at 0.5 part per million (ppm). M. Melgar et al. measured the cadmium levels in a random sample of the edible mushroom Boletus pinicola and pub-lished the results in the paper “Influence of Some Factors in Toxi-city and Accumulation of Cd from Edible Wild Macrofungi in NW Spain” (Journal ofEnvironmental Science and Health, Vol. B33(4), pp. 439–455).

Cardiac Arrest at Day and Night A study investigated survival rates for in-hospital patients who suffered cardiac arrest. Among 58,593 patients who had cardiac arrest during the day, 11,604 survived and were discharged. Among 28,155 patients who suffered cardiac arrest at night, 4139 survived and were discharged (based on data from “Survival from In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest During Nights and Weekends,” by Peberdy et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 299, No. 7). We want to use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the survival rates are the same for day and night. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. b.

Use a 0.10 significance level to test that hypothesis. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval. a.
