a) Prospective Observational Study

b) H₀= The proportion of cardiac patients without depression who died is the same as that of cardiac patients with depression who died. ( P_{No-depression} - P_Depression = 0)

H_A=The proportion of cardiac patients without depression who died is less than that of cardiac patients with depression who died. (P_{No-depression} - P_Depression < 0)

c) The samples are not associated ( Independent sample check)

All the sub-values are greater than 10 i.e ( for no-depression 67 and 294 >10 and for depression 26(dead) and 63 >10)

89 and 361 are less than 10% of the population ( i.e people with cardiac disease)

Hence all conditions are satisfied.

d)

e)

p-value is the value ( when significantly less) we reject the null hypothesis and in this case the hypothesis that proportion of cardiac patients without depression who died is the same as that of cardiac patients with depression who died.

Since the value of p is small we can reject the null hypothesis and establish that portion of deaths of cardiac patients without depression is less than the death of cardiac patients with depression
