Using a .05 significance level, apply McNemar\'s test to test the following claim: The proportion of patients with no cure on the immune modulator treated arm and a cure on the topical steroid treated arm is the same as the proportion of patients with a cure on the immune modulator treated arm and no cure on the topical steroid treated arm. How many patients are included in the experiment? ( ) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses from the claim. Determine the value of the xz test statistic. Identify the chi^2 critical value. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis and a final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
