Two popular drugs used for the treatment of depression are Resithan and Exemor. A random sample of 510 depressed individuals is selected and treated with Resithan, and 187 find relief from their depression. A random sample of 474 depressed individuals is independently selected from the first sample and treated with Exemor, and 152 find relief from their depression. Can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the proportion p1 of all depressed individuals taking Resithan who find relief from depression differs from the proportion p2 of all depressed individuals taking Exemor who find relief from depression? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the parts below. (If necessary, consult
