In randomized, double-blind clinical trials of a new vaccine, rats were randomly divided into two groups. Subjects in group 1 received the new vaccine while subjects in group 2 received a control vaccine. After the second dose, 108 of 713 subjects in the experimental group (group 1) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. After the second dose, 65 of 594 of the subjects in the control group (group 2) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. Does the evidence suggest that a higher proportion of subjects in group 1 experienced drowsiness as a side effect than subjects in group 2 at the $\alpha=0.10$ level of significance?

Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test.
2.23 (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Determine the P-value for this hypothesis test.
0.013 (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Interpret the P-value.
If the population proportions are one would expect a sample difference proportion the one observed in about 10 out of 1000 repetitions of this experiment.
(Round to the nearest integer as needed.)

Answer

Final Answer: If the population proportions are equal, one would expect a sample difference as extreme as the one observed in about \(\boxed{13}\) out of 1000 repetitions of this experiment

Steps

Step 1 :State the null and alternative hypotheses: \(H_{0}: p_{1}=p_{2}\) and \(H_{1}: p_{1}>p_{2}\)

Step 2 :Calculate the test statistic for this hypothesis test, which is 2.23

Step 3 :Determine the P-value for this hypothesis test, which is 0.013

Step 4 :Interpret the P-value: If the population proportions are equal, one would expect a sample difference as extreme as the one observed in about 13 out of 1000 repetitions of this experiment

Step 5 :Final Answer: If the population proportions are equal, one would expect a sample difference as extreme as the one observed in about \(\boxed{13}\) out of 1000 repetitions of this experiment
