A medical research team conducted a study to test the effect of a migraine drug. In the study, 400 subjects took the drug and 407 subjects took a placebo. The results after two hours are shown below. At α = 0.05, can you reject the claim that the proportion of subjects who are pain-free is the same for the two groups?

(a) Identify the claim and state H₀ and H_a,

(b) Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s),

(c) Find the standardized test statistic z,

(d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis,
