A study is done to see if vitamin C decreases your chance of getting colds. In a double-blind experiment, in a random sample of 200 adults, 100 are assigned to an "experimental group" (take vitamin C) and 100 are assigned to a "control group" (take a placebo). The subjects in the study are the following results: In the experimental group, 10 get cold. In the control group, 20 get colds. Testing at a significance level a= .01, find:
a. H0, Ha
b. p̂1, p̂2
c. pooled p̂
d. Z- Value
e. P- Value
f. Conclusion (Are the results statistically significant?)
e. Conclusion (reject H0 or do not reject H0 )
