Is cocaine deadlier than heroin? A study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that rats with unlimited access to cocaine had poorer health, had more behavior disturbances, and died at a higher rate than did a corresponding group of rats given unlimited access to heroin. The death rates after 30 days on the study were as follows:

 

%Dead at 30 Days

Cocaine group

90

Heroin group

36

a. Suppose that 100 rats were used in each group. Conduct a test of H0: π1π2 ≤ 0 versus H0: π1π2 > 0. Give the p-value for your test.


b. What implications are there for human use of the two drugs?goodness-of-fit test should be viewed suspiciously. Don't automatically accept null hypothesis as fact given that H0 was not rejected.
