Peanut allergy is increasingly common in Western countries. A study enrolled infants with a diagnosed peanut sensitivity and randomly assigned them to either avoid or regularly consume peanuts until 60 months of age. At the end of the study,18 of the 51 children who had avoided peanuts were still allergic to peanuts. In contrast, 5 of3the 47 children who had regularly consumed peanuts were still allergic to peanuts. We want to run a test to see if peanut allergy at 60 months is affected by the long-term consumption or avoidance of peanuts among children diagnosed in infancy with a peanut allergy.

(a) Check the conditions for inference and state the hypotheses.

(b) Obtain the test statistic and p-value.

Background The prevalence of peanut allergy among children in Western countries has doubled in the past 10 years, and peanut allergy is becoming apparent in Africa and Asia. We evaluated strategies of peanut consumption and avoidance to determine which strategy is most effective in preventing the development of peanut allergy in infants at high risk for the allergy. Methods We randomly assigned 640 infants with severe eczema, egg allergy, or both to consume or avoid peanuts until 60 months of...

In the last 10 years, the prevalence of peanut allergies has doubled in Western countries. Is consumption or avoidance of peanuts in infants related to the development of peanut allergies in infants at risk? Subjects included infants between 44 and 11 months with severe eczema, an egg allergy, or both, but who did not display a preexisting sensitivity to peanuts based on a skin‑prick test. The infants were randomly assigned to either a treatment that avoided consuming peanut protein or...
