A hospital reports that the normal death rate for patients with extensive burns has been significantly reduced by the use of new fluid compresses. Before the new treatment, the mortality rate for extensive burn patients was about 60%. Using the new compresses, the hospital found that only 40 out of 90 patients with extensive burns died. Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that the mortality rate has dropped.
