Question: Bednets to Reduce Malaria In a randomized controlled trial in Kenya, insecticide treated bednets were tested as a way to reduce malaria. Among 343 infants using bednets, 15 developed malaria. Among 294 infants not using bednets, 27 developed malaria (based on data From "Sustainability of Reductions in Malaria Transmission and Infant Mortality in Western Kenya with Use of Insecticide-Treated Bednets," by Lindblade, et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 291, No. 21). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the incidence of malaria is lower for infants using bednets. Do the bednets appear to be effective?
