In a large clinical trial, 395,389 children were randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group consisted of
196,884 children given a vaccine for a certain disease, and 30 of those children developed the disease. The other
198,505 children were given a placebo, and 90 of those children developed the disease. Consider the vaccine
treatment group to be the first sample. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
a. Assume that a 0.10 significance level will be used to test the claim that p, <p2. Which is better: A hypothesis test
or a confidence interval?
is better.

Assume that a 0.10 significance level will be used to test the claim that p, <p2. Which is better: A hypothesis test or a confidence interval? is better.
Identify the test statistic.
t= - 2.49 (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Identify the P-value.
P-value = .017 (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
What is the conclusion based on the hypothesis test?
Since the P-value is
greater than
the significance level, fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not
sufficient evidence to support the claim that actresses are generally younger when they won the award than actors.
b. Construct the confidence interval that could be used for the hypothesis test described in part (a). WWhat feature of the
confidence interval leads to the same conclusion reached in part (a)?
The confidence interval is
- 20.0 year(s) < Hd < 1.2 year(s).
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
What feature of the confidence interval leads to the same conclusion reached in part (a)?
Since the confidence interval contains
zero,
fail to reject the null hypothesis.
