Research by Harvard Medical School experts suggests that boys are more likely to grow out of childhood asthma when they hit their teenage years. Scientists followed over 1000 children between ages of 5 and 12, all of whom had mild to moderate asthma. By the age of 18, 14% of girls and 27% of boys seems to have grown out of asthma. Suppose their analysis was based on 500 girls and 500 boys. (a) Do the hypothesis testing at 5% level of significance to test whether the proportion of boys who grow out of asthma in their teenage years is more than that of girls. (b) Find beta(0.30, 0.15)
