7. In order to test whether marathon races are bad for health, a researcher took a random sample of 400 runners who participated in the Delhi half-marathon and found that 13% of them got sick in the two-week period after the marathon. In a second sample of 400 runners who did not participate in the marathon, only 3% were sick in the same two-week period. What would be the null hypothesis ? Find

a 9o% confidence interval for the percentage of Delhi half-marathon runners who got sick in the two-weeks after the race.
