The above example is called the blinding in the context of the health care sector.

here the persons are blind, they are simply unaware about what they are receiving.

Here Jenae has given some person a new coffee and some of them is not.

Blinding is a procedure in which one or more parties in a trial are kept unaware of which treatment arms participants have been assigned to, in other words, which treatment was received. Blinding is an important aspect of any trial done in order to avoid and prevent conscious or unconscious bias in the design and execution of a clinical trial.

A clinical trial is called single blind when only one party is blinded, usually the participants. If both participants and study staff are blinded, it is called a double blind study. Triple blinded studies also extend blinding to the data analysts. A trial in which no blinding is used and all parties are aware of the treatment groups is called open label or unblinded.

To determine whether high blood pressure affected whether a person had a stroke, a sample of 121 people who had had strokes are examined. In the sample, 40% had high blood pressure. If we were to test the hypothesis that at least 33% of the people who have had strokes have had high blood pressure (using the 10% level of signficance) what is the critical value? (please round your answer to 2 decimal places)
