Elizon Pharmaceuticals, Inc., announced the results of its first human trial of NPI 32101, a topical form of its skin ointment. A total of 225 patients diagnosed with skin irritations were randomly divided into three groups as part of a double-blind, placebo-controlled study to test the effectiveness of the new topical cream. The first group received a 0.5% cream, the second group received a 1.0% cream, and the third group received a placebo. Groups were treated twice daily for a 6-week period.
(a)What type of experimental design is this?
(b)What is the control group for this study?
(c)What is the factor that is set to predetermined levels? What is the treatment?
(d)What does it mean for this study to be double-blind?
(e)Identify the experimental units.
(f)Draw a diagram to illustrate the design.
An article from the American Journal of Public Health reports the results from a randomized study designed to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention targeted to Hispanic/Latino men who identify as gay, bi-sexual or other men who have sex with men (MSM).
A representative sample of 254 such men was randomized to be in either the intervention group (n=152, with 141 ultimately participating in the study) or the control group (n=152, with 147 ulitmately participating in the study). The primary outcome under study getting tested for HIV within the six-months following group assignment (randomization) among those who had been sexually active in this same six-month follow-up period.
At six months of follow-up, 141 subjects in the intervention group reported having had sex (with men and/or women) since randomization. Of these 141 men, 114 had been tested for HIV since being randomized.
At six months of follow-up, 147 subjects in the control group reported having had sex (with men…
In a randomized double-blind clinical trials of a new vaccine children were randomly divided into two groups subjects in group one received the new vaccine while subjects in group 2 received a control vaccine after the second dose 112 of 690 subjects in the experimental group 1 experienced drowsiness as a side effect after the second dose 69 of 571 of the subjects in the control group 2 experienced drowsiness as a side effect does the evidence suggest that a higher proportion of subjects in group 1 experience drowsiness as a side effect than subjects in group 2 at 0.05 level of significance? Determine the null and alternative hypothesis? find the test statistic for this hypothesis test? determine the P value for this hypothesis test? do we reject or not reject the null hypothesis and why? State your conclusion?

- A consumer advocacy group wanted to study whether different airline carriers differed in terms of their delayed flights. In particular, the researchers were interested in the relationship between p1, the proportion of Alpha Airlines flights that were delayed at least 15 minutes, and p2, the proportion of Beta Airlines flights that were delayed at least 15 minutes. A random sample of 1,000 Alpha flights and a separate random sample of 1,000 Beta flights found that 67 of the Alpha fights and 160 of the Beta flights were delayed at least 15 minutes. The conditions for inference were checked and verified. Does this set of samples provide strong evidence that Alpha Airlines has a smaller proportion of flights that are delayed at least 15 minutes than Beta Airlines, at the α = 0.05 significance level? Find the z-table here. A. The test statistic is z = –6.56 and the P-value ≈ 0.

Researchers conducted a single blind, randomized controlled trial of 25 U.S. adults. The subjects were healthy, weight-stable, male and female volunteers, aged 18 to 35 years. All subjects consumed a weight-stabilizing diet for 13 to 25 days. Afterwards, the researchers randomly assigned participants to diets containing various percentages of energy from protein: 5% (low protein), 15% (normal protein), or 25% (high protein). The subjects were not aware of the specific protein level diet to which they were assigned. On these diets the researchers overfed the participants during the last 8 weeks of their 10 to 12 week stay in the inpatient metabolic unit. The goal was to investigate the effect of overconsumption of protein on weight gain, energy expenditure, and body…arrow_forwardAn experiment was conducted for better understanding of the effectiveness of a particular type of drug for reducing bad cholesterol (LDL) level. The purpose of the experiment was to determine whether different dosages used have significant different outcomes in average LDL reduction.

Each group was given a specific level of dosage of the drug each day for one month, with a control group that only provided with placebo.

A sample of 48 patients walked on a treadmill for six minutes every day. After six months, the mean distance walked in six minutes was 348 m, with a standard deviation of 80 m. For a control group of 46 patients who did not walk on a treadmill, the mean distance was 309 m with a standard deviation of 89 m.
