2. Recall from Homeworks 1 and 2, Daviglus and colleagues also reported the follow-up time in these men. The 189 non-fish eaters were followed for a total of 4,754 person-years, while the 242 men who consumed at least 35 g/day of fish were followed for a total of 6,368 person-years. As indicated in question 1, 48 of the 189 men who consumed 0 g/day of fish at baseline died of CHD over the follow-up period, while 46 of the 242 men who consumed at least 35 g/day of fish died of CHD over the follow-up period.
Perform an appropriate test to determine whether the rates of CHD death differ between the two groups. Make sure to specify your null and alternative hypotheses and draw a brief conclusion.
To test 2 sample proportion values we use z distribution
Z = (p1-p2) /√( (p1q1/n1) + (p2q2/n2) )
