This lab assignment is to analyze a current events article that uses statistics to compare two proportions. Limit yourself to one short article that uses some type of hypothesis test. Usually students use the hypothesis testing methods of section 9-2. Your current event assignment should include these parts:

1. Copy of the Article – you may look for a short article in the newspaper, Internet, or similar source. You may even use a memo or policy document from your work. For starters, try these sources:
   www.dallasnews.com
   http://www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials/results
   Any prescription drug website, etc.
2. Citation Information – state the article’s title, publisher, author(s), date of publication, and URL if available.
3. Summary of the Statistics Problem - summarize in 3 or 4 sentences the hypothesis test included or implied in the article. Include in your summary which people fall into which group. For example, let group1 in your report represent the test group and let group 2 represent the placebo group, or vice versa.
4. Verification of the Statistical Method – show the mathematics behind the hypothesis test based on the given information in the article. Be sure to verify that the prerequisites of page 457 are satisfied before you proceed with your lab.
5. Conclusion – write one or two sentences that either support or refute the conclusion in the article.
