I need help conducting a hypothesis test and answering these questions! Thank

QUESTION 1 On March 4, 1999, New England Journal of Medicine published a research article by Dr. Douglas Jorenby and colleagues comparing different methods used to stop smoking. Treatment Subjects Participating Subjects not smoking after 6 months Placebo 160 30 Nicotine patch . 244 52 Zyban 244 85 Zyban and Nicotine patch 245 95 Conduct a hypothesis test to see if the Zyban and nicotine patch treatment produces a statistically significant result. To do this, we must compare the success rate for the Zyban and nicotine patch to the success rate of the placebo (which was given to our control group). Assume the population proportion of success for the placebo treatment is 19%. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses (remember to write the value as a decimal number in the hypotheses); HOF VS H1 P The test statistic is and the p-value is Round the test statistic and the p-value to 2 decimal places as appropriate. The p-value is (greater than or less than) 0.05 We conclude that Zyban and nicotine patch (is or is not) an effective treatment for smoking cessation
