Glaucoma is a common eye disease, which in most cases is associated with too high pressure inside the eye. Caffeine relieves pressure within the eye. Therefore, an experimental study is being set up to test whether long-term use of caffeine can permanently relieve eye pressure. 40 subjects are participating in this study. 22 of them form the control group and will not receive caffeine. 18 of them will get caffeine. After treatment, the mean pressure in the eye in the control group is 16 mmHg (mercury pressure) with a standard deviation of 5 mmHg. In the group that received caffeine, the mean eye pressure was 14 mmHg with a standard deviation of 4 mmHg. Create a hypothesis test that tests whether long-term use of caffeine can lower eye pressure. Work at significance level 0.1. The P value is 0.16804 and so we conclude that caffeine can lower eye pressure The P value is 0.08402 so there is not enough evidence to conclude that caffeine can lower eye pressure The P value is 0.16804 so there is not enough evidence to conclude that caffeine can lower eye pressure The P value is 0.08402 and so we conclude that caffeine can lower eye pressure

The technology underlying hip replacements has changed as these operations havebecome more popular (over 250,000 in the United States in 2008). Starting in 2003,highly durable ceramic hips were marketed. Unfortunately, for too many patients theincreased durability has been counterbalanced by an increased incidence ofsqueaking. The May 11, 2008, issue of the New York Times reported that in one studyof 143 individuals who received ceramic hips between 2003 and 2005, 10 of the hipsdeveloped squeaking.a. Calculate a lower confidence bound at the 95% confidence level for the trueproportion of such hips that develop squeaking.b. Interpret the 95% confidence level used in (a).
Landolt et al. (A-26) examined rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in mothers and fathers. Parents were interviewed 5 to 6 weeks after an accident or a new diagnosis of cancer or diabetes mellitus type I for their child. Twenty-eight of the 175 fathers interviewed and 43 of the 180 mothers interviewed met the criteria for current PTSD. Is there sufficient evidence for us to conclude that fathers are less likely to develop PTSD than mothers when a child is traumatized by an accident, cancer diagnosis, or diabetes diagnosis? Let alpha = 0.05
Are sexually active teenagers any better informed about AIDS and other potential health problems related to sex? A 15-item test of general knowledge about sex and health was administered to random samples of teens who are sexually inactive, teens who are sexually active but only with a single partner ("going steady"), and teens who are sexually active with more than one partner. Is there any significant difference in the test scores?
In a nationwide study directed by Detroit’s Henry Ford Hospital, 780 persons with stableheart disease were treated. Half of the subjects were treated with drugs and half underwentbypass surgery. After 6 years, 351 of those treated with drugs and 359 of those who underwentbypass surgery were still alive. Use a level 0.01 test to determine if there is sufficient evidenceto indicate that surgery is a more effective treatment.
An exercise science major is planning to investigate the hypothesis that diet plus exercise is more effective for weight loss than either diet or exercise alone. She will randomly assign participants to four different conditions based on diet (hi/lo cal) and high/low exercise level. Analysis: ? Ho: ?
Angioplasty is a medical procedure in which an obstructed blood vessel is widened. In some cases, a wire mesh tube, called a stent, is placed in the vessel to help it remain open. A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of a bare metal stent with one that has been coated with a drug designed to prevent reblocking of the vessel. A total of 5319 patients received bare metal stents, and of these, 848 needed treatment for reblocking within a year. A total of 1122 received drug-coated stents, and 142 of them required treatment within a year. Can you conclude that the proportion of patients who needed retreatment differs between those who received bare metal stents and those who received drug-coated stents? Let p1 denote the proportion of patients with bare metal stents who needed retreatment and p2 denote the proportion of patients with drug-coated stents who needed retreatment. Use the =α0.10 level of significance and the P -value method with the…
