Researchers Conduct a Study to Test a Potential Side Effect

question 3

Essay

Researchers conduct a study to test a potential side effect of a new allergy medication. A random sample of 160 subjects with allergies was selected for the study. The new "improved" Brand I medication was randomly assigned to 80 subjects, and the current Brand C medication was randomly assigned to the other 80 subjects. 14 of the 80 patients with Brand I reported drowsiness, and 22 of the 80 patients with Brand C reported drowsiness.
-Does the interval in question 1 provide evidence that the side effect of drowsiness is different with the new medication?
