The Following Table Shows the Results from a Study to See

question 4

Short Answer

The following table shows the results from a study to see if a home remedy salve for bee stings worked better than a placebo. Each participant was randomly assigned to receive the home remedy salve or a placebo ointment. "Improvement" means that there were no symptoms of pain after fifteen minutes.
The alternative hypothesis is that the home remedy salve leads to improvement (in this case, no pain). The p- value for a one- tailed Fisher's Exact Test with these data is 0.500. Suppose the study had turned out differently, as in the following table.
Would Fisher's Exact Test have led to a p- value larger or smaller than 0.500? Explain.
