Question
In a clinical trial, 17 out of 900 patients taking a prescription drug complained of flulike symptoms. Suppose that it is known that 1.3% of patients taking competing drugs complain offlulike symptoms. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that more than 1.3% of this drug's users experience flulike symptoms as a side effect at the ?: 0.1 level of significance? What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Ho: p 0.013 versus H1: p > 0.013 Use technology to find the P-value. P-value =D (Round to three decimal places as needed )Explanation / Answer
The statistical software output for this problem is:
One sample proportion summary hypothesis test:
p : Proportion of successes
H0 : p = 0.013
HA : p > 0.013
Hypothesis test results:
Hence,
P - value = 0.059
