4. A clinical trial is conducted to compare an experimental medication to placebo to reduce the symptoms of asthma. One hundred participants are enrolled in the study and randomized to receive either the experimental medication or placebo. The primary outcome is self-reported reduction of symptoms. Among 50 participants who receive the experimental medication, 30 report a reduction of symptoms as compared to 15 participants of 50 assigned to the placebo. Generate a 95% CI for the difference in proportions of participants reporting a reduction of symptoms between the experimental and placebo groups.A) (1.237, 3.232)B) (0.114, 0.486)C) (0.600, 0.300)D) (1.529, 8.012)

A researcher is comparing the occurrence of nausea as a side-effect in two brands of medication: Brand A and Brand B. For a random sample of 150 Brand A users, 66 experienced nausea as a side-effect. For a random sample of 200 Brand B users, 118 experienced nausea as a side-effect. Can the researcher conclude that the proportion of all Brand A users who experience nausea as a side-effect is different from the proportion of all Brand B users who experience nausea as a side-effect. For the hypothesis testing scenario above, the researcher concludes that the two proportions are different at the 0.01 significance level. Compute the 99% confidence interval to estimate the difference.
Historically, the proportion of people who trade in their old car to a car dealer when purchasing a new car is 48%. Over the previous six months, in a sample of 115 new car buyers, 46 have traded in their old car. To determine whether the proportion of new car buyers that trade in their old car has this is sickly significantly decreased, what is the null and alternative hypothesis?
In a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a sample of 546 boys aged 6–11 was weighed, and it was determined that 87 of them were overweight. A sample of 508 girls aged 6–11 was also weighed, and 74 of them were overweight. Can you conclude that the proportion of boys who are overweight differs from the proportion of girls who are overweight?
A researcher randomly selected a sample of n = 500 individuals from a population with µ = 120 and administered an experimental treatment to the sample. What the researcher should expect if the treatment has no significant effect?
Researchers investigated the possible beneficial effect on heart health of drinking black tea and whether adding milk to the tea reduces any possible benefit. Twenty-four volunteers were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Every day for a month, participants in group 1 drank two cups of hot black tea without milk, participants in group 2 drank two cups of hot black tea with milk, and participants in group 3 drank two cups of hot water but no tea. At the end of the month, the researchers measured the change in each of the participants’ heart health. Did the researchers conduct an experiment or an observational study? Explain. Why did the researchers include a group who drank hot water but no tea? Is it reasonable to generalize the results of the study beyond the 24 participants? Explain why or why not.
An independent research group has been studying the chances that an accident at a nuclear power plant will result in radiation leakage. The group considers that the only possible types of accidents at a reactor are fire, mechanical failure, and human error, and that two or more accidents never occur together. It has performed studies that indicate that if there were a fire, a radiation leak would occur 20 percent of the time; if there were a mechanical failure, a radiation leak would occur 50 percent of the time; and if there were a human error, a radiation leak would occur 10 percent of the time. Its studies have also shown that the probability of A fire and a radiation leak occurring together is 0.0010. A mechanical failure and a radiation leak occurring together is 0.0015. A human error and a radiation leak occurring together is 0.0012. (a)What are the respective probabilities of a fire, mechanical failure, and human error? (b)What are the respective probabilities that a…
6.6.4 To study the difference in drug therapy adherence among subjects with depression who received usual care and those who received care in a collaborative care model was the goal of a study conducted by Finley et al. (A-21). The collaborative care model emphasized the role of clinical pharmacists in providing drug therapy management and treatment follow-up. Of the 50 subjects receiving usual care, 24 adhered to the prescribed drug regimen, while 50 out of 75 subjects in the collaborative care model adhered to the drug regimen. Construct a 90 percent confidence interval for the difference in adherence proportions for the populations of subjects represented by these two samples.
The authors of the article "Adjuvant Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy in Node-Positive Premenopausal Women with Breast Cancer"† reported on the results of an experiment designed to compare treating cancer patients with chemotherapy only to treatment with a combination of chemotherapy and radiation. Of the 154 individuals who received the chemotherapy-only treatment, 76 survived at least 15 years, whereas 98 of the 164 patients who received the hybrid treatment survived at least that long. With p1 denoting the proportion of all such women who, when treated with just chemotherapy, survive at least 15 years and p2 denoting the analogous proportion for the hybrid treatment, p̂1 = (rounded to three decimal places) and p̂2 = (rounded to three decimal places). A confidence interval for the difference between proportions based on the traditional formula with a confidence level of approximately 99% is 0.494 − 0.598 ± (2.58) (0.494)(0.506) 154 + (0.598)(0.402) 164…

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is significantly different from 65% at a level of significance of αα = 0.01. According to your sample, 39 out of 55 potential voters prefer the Democratic candidate. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly different from 65% at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is different from 65% The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly different from 65% at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is equal to 65%. The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly different from 65% at αα = 0.01, so there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is different from 65%.

A well-known study of 22,000 male physicians was conducted to determine if taking aspirin daily reduces the chances of a heart attack. Half of the physicians were given a regular dose of aspirin while the other half was given placebos. Six years later, among those who took aspirin, 104 suffered heart attacks while among those who took placebos, 189 suffered heart attacks. Does it appear that the aspirin can reduce the number of heart attacks among the sample group that took aspirin? Use α = 0.05.
Suppose a study was conducted to compare the sleep deprivation rates of Californians and Oregonians. The proportion of California residents who reported insufficient rest or sleep during each of the preceding 30 days is 8.8%, while this proportion is 7% for Oregon residents. These data are based on simple random samples of 1,545 California and 1,460 Oregon adult residents. a) Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence the rate of sleep deprivation is different for the two states. Use California as Group A and Oregon as Group B.Test statistic (Round to 4 decimal places): p-value (round to 4 decimal places): Conclusion at the 5% level of significance: We accept the null hypothesis. We reject the null hypothesis. We fail to reject the null hypothesis. b) It is possible the conclusion of the test in part (a) is incorrect (contradicts with the reality). If this is the case, what type of error was made? Type I Error Type III Error Type II Error A…
