Question: The standard therapy used to treat a disorder cures 60% of all patients in an average of 140 visits. A health care provider considers supporting a new therapy regime for the disorder if it is effective in reducing the number of visits while retaining the cure rate of the standard therapy. A study of 200 patients with the disorder who were treated by the new therapy regime reveals that 108 of them were cured in an average of 132 visits with a standard deviation of 38 visits. What decision should be made using a .01 level of significance?
