Scientists at a pharmaceutical company want to compare their new drug to an existing one. Let's call the new drug A and the old drug B. In a random sample of 120 subjects who took drug A, 40% developed severe side effects. Whereas, in a random sample of 100 subjects who took drug B, 45% developed severe side effects. These scientists are interested to see if there is significant evidence that their new drug reduces severe side effects in patients the a = 0.05 significance level. Make and justify a statistical decision at the a in the context of the problem. 0.05 significance level and state your conclusion

You are concerned that nausea may be a side effect of Tamiflu, but you cannot just give Tamiflu to patients with the flu and say that nausea is a side effect if people become nauseous. However, past research indicates that about 30% of people who get the flu experience nausea, and you believe that the percentage of those who experience nausea while having the flu and taking Tamiflu will be greater than 30%, which would indicate that nausea is a side effect of Tamiflu.a) If you going to test this claim at the 0.05 significance level, what would be your null and alternative hypotheses?H0H0: H1H1: b) What type of hypothesis test should you conduct (left-, right-, or two-tailed)? left-tailed right-tailed two-tailed

A hypothetical study looks at the effect of drinking alcohol on health. Across all genders and age groups, people who do not drink tend to be healthier on average than people who do drink. However, people who drink regularly are on average healthier than those people who have recently stopped drinking. Is it reasonable to conclude that for the sake of health, we should not start drinking, but if we have already started drinking alcohol, it is healthier to continue and not to stop?
A medical research team conducted a study to test the effect of a cholesterol reducing medication. At the end of the study, the researcher found that out of the 4700 randomly selected subjects who took the medication, 301 died of heart diseases. Of the 4300 randomly selected subjects who took a placebo, 357 died of heart disease. At α = 0.01, can you conclude that the death rate due to heart disease is lower for the subjects who took the medication than those who took the placebo? d. Find the p-value and interpret its meaning? e. Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null. f. Interpret the results in context of the claim. g. Make an inference of this claim using the Confidence Interval Method.
In laboratories where clinical tests are carried out, two types of test are available for the detection of a highly contagious virus. The Type A test is very fast and inexpensive while the Type B test is a test that requires more time to obtain a diagnosis and is more expensive. It is known that the economic test. Type A, generates correct diagnosis (C) in 60% of cases. While the Type B test provides the correct diagnosis (C) in 99% of cases. If after six months of quarantine due to this virus the health secretary realizes that 80% of the tests carried out in the state correspond to Type A economic tests and only 20% were Type B. If it is known that a test made an incorrect diagnosis. What is the probability that the Type A economic test did? .9937 .24844 .322 .6211 .3788
A foreign car manufacturer advertises that its newest model, the Bullet, rarely stops at gas stations. In fact, they claimed that its EPA rating for highway driving is at least 32.5 mpg. However, the results of a recent independent study determined the mpg for 50 identical models of the Bullet, with these results: n = 50, x= 30.4 mpg, and s = 5.3 mpg.This report failed to offer any conclusion, and you have been asked to interpret these results by someone who has always felt that the 32.5 figure is too high. What would be your conclusion using a significance level of 5%?Z = 1.645
