Example 3. Some people seem to believe that you can fix anything with duct tape. Even so, many were skeptical when researchers announced that duct tape may be a more effective and less painful alternative to liquid nitrogen, which doctors routinely use to freeze warts. A 2002 article described a study conducted at Madigan Army Medical Center. A sample of 204 patients with warts were randomly assigned to either the duct tape treatment or the more traditional freezing treatment. The 104 in the duct tape group wore duct tape over the wart for 6 days, then removed the tape, soaked the area in water, and used an emery board to scrape the area. This process was repeated for a maximum of 2 months or until the wart was gone. Data consistent with values in the article are as follows: Number with Wart n Successfully Removed Liquid nitrogen freezing 100 60 Duct tape 104 88 Do the data give statistical evidence that duct tape works better than freezing?
