Question:

Medical: Hypertension Diltiazem is a commonly prescribed drug for hypertension (see source in Problem 23). However, diltiazem causes headaches in about 12% of patients using the drug. It is hypothesized that regular exercise might help reduce the headaches.

If a random sample of 209 patients using diltiazem exercised regularly and only 16 had headaches, would this indicate a reduction in the population proportion of patients having headaches? Use a 1% level of significance.

please provide the following information.

(a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses.

(b) Check Requirements What sampling distribution will you use? Do you think the sample size is sufficiently large? Explain. Compute the value of the sample test statistic and corresponding z value.

(c) Find the P-value of the test statistic. Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.

(d) Based on your answers in parts

(a) through (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
Are the data statistically significant at level a?

(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.AppendixLO1
