raquat is one of the most widely used herbicides and is highly toxic to animals. In a study to assess the protective effects of a new agent A against paraquat, 200 rats were randomly assigned to three groups. The first group (treatment I) was administered paraquat; the second group (treatment II) was administered paraquat plus a low dose of agent A; the third group (treatment III) was administered paraquat plus a high dose of agent A. The number of rats that survived more than eight days for each group was recorded and are presented in Table 2. At the 1% level of significance, does the p-value support the claim that agent A affects the survival rate of paraquat infected rats? Explain.
