"Doctors Praise Device That Aids Ailing Hearts" (Associated Press, November 9, 2004) is the headline of an article that describes the results of a study of the effectiveness of a fabric device that acts like a support stocking for a weak or damaged heart. In the study, 107 people who consented to treatment were assigned at random to either a standard treatment consisting of drugs or the experimental treatment that consisted of drugs plus surgery to install the stocking. After two years, 38% of the 57 patients receiving the stocking had improved and 27% of the patients receiving the standard treatment had improved. Do these data provide convincing evidence that the proportion of patients who improve is greater for the experimental treatment than for the standard treatment? Test the relevant hypotheses using a significance level of .05.
