Medical researchers performed a comparison of two drugs, clopidogrel and ticagrelor, which are designed to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke in coronary patients. A total of 6720 patients were given clopidogrel, and 6679 were given ticagrelor. Of the clopidogrel patients, 551 suffered a heart attack or stroke within one year, and of the ticagrelor patients, 654 suffered a heart attack or stroke. Can you conclude that the proportion of patients suffering a heart attack or stroke is greater for ticagrelor? Let p1 denote the proportion of patients suffering a heart attack or stroke with clopidogrel and p2 denote the proportion of patients suffering a heart attack or stroke with ticagrelor. Use the α=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. a)State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. b) find P-value c)Determine whether to reject H0. d)There (is/is not) enough evidence to conclude that the mean weight loss of subjects having low-carb diets is less than the mean weight loss of subjects having low-fat diets.

a)State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses.

b) find P-value

c)Determine whether to reject H0.

d)There (is/is not) enough evidence to conclude that the mean weight loss of subjects having low-carb diets is less than the mean weight loss of subjects having low-fat diets.
