A recent study looked at the relationship between condom use and the spread of AIDS, by following heterosexual couples in which one partner was infected with HIV. The couples were classified by their condom use. Of the 98 couples who always used condoms, 4 partners became infected with HIV. Of the 67 couples who did not always use condoms, 11 partners became infected. Test whether the proportions of partners who became infected with HIV are different for each group, using a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following: 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value.
