A manufaturer withdrew drug V from the market after a study revealed that its use was associated with an increase in the risk of heart attack. The experiment was placebo controlled, randomized, and double blind. Out of 1298 people taking drug V there were 46 heart attacks. Out of 1295 people taking a placebo there were 28 heart attacks. Perform a hypothesis test to test whether those who took drug V have a greater rate of heart attack than those who take a placebo. Use a significance level of 0.01. Determine the null and alternative hypothesis, find the z-statistic, find the p-value, does it support or reject the null, state the conclusion. Please clearly underline the hypothesis, z-statistic, p-value, conclusion, and results in your answer.
