Smoking Cessation The accompanying table summarizes successes and failures when subjects used different methods when trying to stop smoking. The determination of smoking or not smoking was made five months after the treatment was begun, and the data are based on results from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If we test the claim that success is independent of the method used, XLSTAT provides a P-value of 0.216 (rounded).

What does the P-value tell us about that claim?
