A study was performed on 200 elementary school students to investigate whether regular Vitamin A supplementation was effective in preventing colds during the month of March. 100 were randomized to receive daily Vitamin A supplements during the month of March, and 100 students were randomized to a placebo group (and did not receive Vitamin A) during the same month. The number of students getting at least one cold in March was computed in the two groups, and the results are given in the following 2 X 2 table. Using a 5% level of significance determine whether there is an association between Vitamin A supplementation and prevention of Common Cold ColdNo Cold Vitamin A1585100 Placebo2575100 40160200
