Suppose the annual incidence of asthma in the general population among children 0-4 years of age is 1.4% for boys and 1% for girls.
If 10 cases are observed over 1 year among 500 boys 0-4 years of age with smoking mothers, then test whether there is a significant difference in asthma incidence between this group and the general population using the critical value method with a two sided test AND report a p value corresponding to your answer.
As you haven't provided the significance level, i am giving three critical value of z. However the conclusion regarding the rejection of null hypothesis will be same for all the three significance level, as our test statistic does not exceed any of the critical value of z.
