In a winter with a flu epidemic, a well-known pharmaceutical company studied 2,000 babies to determine if the company's new drug was effective after two days. Among 120 babies who had the flu and were given the drug, 29 were cured within two days. Among 280 babies who had the flu but were not given the drug, 56 were cured within two days. Is there any significant indication to support the company's claim of the drug's effectiveness?

Entre 120 bebés que tenían gripe y se les suministró el medicamento, 29 se curaron dentro de
dos días. Entre 280 bebés que tenían gripe pero que no recibieron el fármaco, 56 se cura ron
