A new drug is being compared with a standard drug for treating a particular illness. In the clinical trials, a group of 200 patients was randomly split into two groups, with one group being given the standard drug and one group the new drug. Altogether, 83 out of the 100 patients given the new drug improved their condition, while only 72 out of the 100

A new drug is being compared with a standard drug for treating a particular illness. In the clinical trials, a group of 200 patients was randomly split into two groups, with one group being given the standard drug and one group the new drug. Altogether, 83 out of the 100 patients given the new drug improved their condition, while only 72 out of the 100 patients given the standard drug improved their condition. Construct a one-sided confidence interval and calculate a one-sided p-value to investigate the evidence that the new drug is better than the standard drug.

The St. Lucie County Health Department needs to estimate the proportion of all children in the county aged 19-35 months that are completely up to date with all state-recommended immunizations. The St. Lucie County Health Department found that 67% of a random sample of children in the county aged 19-35 months were completely up to date with all state-recommended immunizations. Find three different confidence intervals - one with sample size 239, one with sample size 596, and one with sample size 937. Assume that 67% of the children each sample are completely up to date with all state recommended immunizations. Notice how the sample size affects the margin of error and the width of the interval.

In order to judge the effectiveness of an advertising campaign for a certain brand of pretzel, a company obtained a simple random sample of 95 convenience store receipts the week before the ad campaign began, and found that 28 of them showed a purchase of the pretzels. Another simple random sample of 65 receipts was taken the week after the ad campaign, and 33 of them showed a pretzel purchase. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of customers purchasing pretzels before and after the ad campaign. Interpret the results. A marketing manager claims that the proportion of customers who purchased pretzels did not change after the ad campaign. Does the confidence interval contradict this claim?
