Question:

A medical research team studied the use of a marijuana extract to treat children with an epilepsy disorder. Of the 52 children who were given the extract, the number of convulsive seizures was reduced from 12 to 6 per month. Of the 56 children who were given a placebo, the number of convulsive seizures was reduced from 15 to 14 per month. At \(\alpha=0.10\), can you support the claim that the proportion of monthly convulsive seizure reduction is greater for the group that received the extract than for the group that received the placebo? Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
