A study was conducted by the U.S. Army to see if applying antiperspirant to soldiers' feet for a few days before a major hike would help cut down on the number of blisters soldiers had on their feet. In the experiment, for three nights before they went on a 13-mile hike, a group of 328 West Point cadets put an alcohol-based antiperspirant on their feet. A "control group" of 339 soldiers put on a similar, but inactive, preparation on their feet. On the day of the hike, the temperature reached 83 ? F. At the end of the hike, 21% of the soldiers who had used the antiperspirant and 48% of the control group had developed foot blisters. Conduct a hypothesis test to see if the proportion of soldiers using the antiperspirant was significantly lower than the control group.
