A pharmaceutical company wants to know whether an experimental drug has an effect on systolic blood pressure. Fifteen randomly selected subjects were given the drug and, after sufficient time for the drug to have an impact, their systolic blood pressures were recorded.

A student majoring in Management who has passed the Business Statistics course suspects that the average price of lunch at the canteen has increased during the pandemic. Before the pandemic, the price for lunch he paid was $21, $22, $22.50, $23, $23.50. After the pandemic, he paid $25, $25.50, $30, $27, and $26.50. a) Perform a hypothesis test analysis to find out whether there has been an average increase in the price of lunch (Use six Hypothesis Testing Steps) ! b) Interpret (and explain) the results of point a above!
Nationally, the proportion of red cars on the road is 0.12. A statistically-minded fan of the Philadelphia Phillies (whose team color is red) wonders if fans who park at Citizens Bank Park (the Phillies home field) are more likely to drive red cars. One day during a home game, he takes an SRS of 210 cars parked in the lot while a game is being played, and counts 35 red cars. (There are 21,000 parking spaces.) Is this convincing evidence that Phillies fans prefer red cars more than the general population? Provide statistical evidence to support your conclusion. Use the 4-step process.

A clinical psychologist is interested in comparing the effectiveness of short term relaxation and cognitive-behavioral therapy in treating mild depression. An experiment is conducted in which 15 patients with mild depression are randomly selected and assigned 5 each to a relaxation therapy group, a cognitive/behavioral therapy group, and an attention placebo group. Therapy is administered until the patient is judged no longer depressed or until 10 treatment sessions have elapsed. The following data is obtained. Scores are the number of sessions for each patient. Cognitive/Behavioral Therapy Relaxation Therapy Attention-PlaceboGroup 56647 68 797 5 8 9 7 6 Using a = 0.05, Fcrit = _________.

At Community Hospital, the burn center is experimenting with a new plasma compress treatment. A random sample of n1 = 318 patients with minor burns received the plasma compress treatment. Of these patients, it was found that 266 had no visible scars after treatment. Another random sample of n2 = 418 patients with minor burns received no plasma compress treatment. For this group, it was found that 105 had no visible scars after treatment. Let p1 be the population proportion of all patients with minor burns receiving the plasma compress treatment who have no visible scars. Let p2 be the population proportion of all patients with minor burns not receiving the plasma compress treatment who have no visible scars. (a) Find a 90% confidence interval for p1 − p2.

An athletic trainer wants to see if a new treatment procedure for ankle sprains results in less ankle swelling than standard treatment 24 hours following the injury. Over several months, 30 athletes with ankle sprains are randomly assigned to receive either the standard care or new treatment procedure. Ankle swelling is measured using water displacement in both groups. Which t-test should be used to determine if one procedure resulted in more or less swelling than the other?
