[See Steps] Aluminum is suspected as a factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease. In one study, researchers compared a group of Alzheimer's patients


Question: Aluminum is suspected as a factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease. In one study, researchers compared a group of Alzheimer's patients with a carefully selected control group of people who did not have Alzheimer's but were similar in other ways. (Selection of a matching control group is a difficult task. In epidemiological studies such as this, however, experiments are not possible). The focus of the study was on the use of antacid that contain aluminum. Each subject was classified according to the use of these antacids. The two-way table below gives the data.

None Low Medium High
Alzheimer's patients 112 3 5 8
Control group 114 9 3 2

Analyze the data and summarize your results. Does the use of aluminum-containing antacids appear to be associated Alzheimer's disease?
