Interpreting Power Chantix (varenicline) tablets are used as an aid to help people stop smoking. In a clinical trial, 129 subjects were treated with Chantix twice a day for 12 weeks, and 16 subjects experienced abdominal pain (based on data from Pfizer, Inc.). If someone claims that more than 8% of Chantix users experience abdominal pain, that claim is supported with a hypothesis test conducted with a 0.05 significance level. Using 0.18 as an alternative value of p, the power of the test is 0.96. Interpret this value of the power of the test.

- What is an experiment?arrow_forwardWhat is meant by the sample space of an experiment?arrow_forwardVery large random samples of Catholics, Protestants, and people with no religious affiliation have been questioned about their opinions on capiital punishment. On a ten point scale, the Protestants average 6.9, the Catholics averaged 7.0, and the people with no religious affiliation averaged 7.1. These differences were tested by ANOVA and found to be statistically significant. What is the most reasonable conclusion? a. This is a statistically significant and important difference b. This difference may be statistically significant but it seems unimportant c. This difference is due to random chance d. The researcher should have used sample means rather than proportions in this situationarrow_forward

In the same experiment, 3% of 725 subjects given a placebo experienced headaches. Use a .05 level of significance to test the claim that the proportion of headaches is greater for those treated with viagra.arrow_forwardIn a clinical trial of a drug intended to help people stop smoking, 125 subjects were treated with the drug for 12 weeks, and 14 subjects experienced abdominal pain. If someone claims that more than 8% of the drug's users experience abdominal pain, that claim is supported with a hypothesis test conducted with a 0.05 significance level. Using 0.17 as an alternative value of p, the power of the test is 0.95. Interpret this value of the power of the test. The power of 0.95 shows that there is a % chance of rejecting the hypothesis of p = when the true proportion is actually That is, if the proportion of users who experience abdominal pain is actually then there is a % chance of supporting the claim that the proportion of than 0.08. users who experience abdominal pain is (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)arrow_forward
- Reports show that 92% of online searches in March 2021 use Google as the search engine. A network administrator wants to determine whether the percentage of searches that use Google is different in their company. They sample 800 searches and find that 758 of them use Google. Can they conclude that the percentage of searches that use Google in this company differs from 92%? Use the a = 0.05 level of significance.arrow_forwardResearchers were interested in determining whether gender and/or the number of tours soldiers served affected the incidence of PTSD. The PTSD impact instrument was used and scores were recorded upon discharge. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Include both interaction and main effect hypotheses (should be 3 null and 3 alternate hypotheses).arrow_forwardThe Excel file Room Inspection provides data for 100 room inspections at 25 hotels in a major chain. Management would like the proportion of nonconforming rooms to be less than 2%. Test an appropriate hypothesis to determine if management can make this claim.arrow_forward
- When doing an ANOVA, you observe large differences in means between groups. Within the ANOVA framework, this would most likely be interpreted as evidence strongly favoring which hypothesis?arrow_forwardIn a clinical trial of a drug intended to help people stop smoking, 131 subjects were treated with the drug for 13 weeks, and 13 subjects experienced abdominal pain. If someone claims that more than 8% of the drug's users experience abdominal pain, that claim is supported with a hypothesis test conducted with a 0.05 significance level. Using 0.18 as an alternative value of p, the power of the test is 0.96. Interpret this value of the power of the test.arrow_forwardA researcher wishes to determine if violent television shows increase the tendency of young children to exhibit physical aggression. They have three video shows at their disposal – a cartoon with a high level of physical violence, an episode of Barney, a television show promoting understanding with little or no physical violence or aggression, and a ‘neutral’ show on how corn is grown. Design an experiment to address the researcher’s question using a repeated-measures ANOVA approach.arrow_forward
