2-Proportion Test

In a 2-proportion test, two separate proportions are measured at the same time, and their similarity is evaluated. It is also known as a 2-proportion z-test, and a comparison of two different proportions is done in this method.

An investigator wants to estimate the impact of smoking on the incidence of prostate cancer. The incidence of prostate cancer by the age of 70 is about 1 in 6 (17%) P2=0.17. U.S. study reporters that heavy smokers had twice the risk of developing prostate cancer as compared to nonsmokers (34%) P1=0.34. A repeat study in England, cohort enrolls men at age 50 and followed them for 30 years. Problem: Generste a 95% confidence level, assume a 20% attrition, and a margin of error of no more than 0.05 (5%) E=0.05
Brink studied the effect of postural change on cardiovascular reactivity for a sample of healthy white and African American men and women. Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults. Supine measurement of blood pressure was taken after participants had lain on an examination table for 15 minutes. Blood pressure was measured five times every 2 minutes using a preset automated blood pressure monitor, and the five measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up, and an additional five measurements were made over another 10-minute period and then averaged. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Brink’s sample. Characteristics of the Study Sample (N = 842) Sample Characteristic Frequency (N) Percentage or Mean (SD) Range Gender Female Male 408 434 48.5% 51.5% Age (years) 842 55.1 (5.3) 44–67 Race/ethnicity White, not Hispanic…
A 2019 study surveyed Norwegian parents about their children's eating habits and taste sensitivities. We are interested in seeing if there is a relationship between sensitivity to sweetness and emotional overeating. The study reports an F* = 2.34 with dfb 3 and dfw = 96. How many levels of 'sensitivity to sweetness' were used in the study? How many subjects participated in the entire study?
A manufacturer wants to increase the shelf life of a line of cake mixes. Past records indicate that the average shelf life of the mix is 234 days. After a revised mix has been developed, a sample of nine boxes of cake mix gave these shelf lives (in days): 232,238, 238, 239, 236, 243, 243, 244, and 240. At a = 0.05, the manufacturer wants to test if the shelf life of the cake mix increased. What critical value must be used for this test?
To illustrate the effects of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, a police officer brought a DUI simulator to a local high school. Student reaction time in an emergency was measured with unimpaired vision and also while wearing a pair of special goggles to simulate the effects of alcohol on vision. For a random sample of nine teenagers, the time (in seconds) required to bring the vehicle to a stop from a speed of 60 miles per hour was recorded. Complete parts (a) and (b). Note: A normal probability plot and boxplot of the data indicate that the differences are approximately normally distributed with no outliers. Click the icon to view the data table. (a) Whether the student had unimpaired vision or wore goggles first was randomly selected. Why is this a good idea in designing the experiment? A. This is a good idea in designing the experiment because it controls for any "learning" that may occur in using the simulator. B. This is a good idea in designing the experiment because…

An article published in the American Journal of Hypertension reported the results of a longitudinal study on blood pressure. Ten years ago, 51 out of 188 people evaluated were classified as having high blood pressure. This year, 63, out of 194 people evaluated were classified as having high blood pressure. Based on the results of this study, can one conclude that the proportion of people in the population with high blood pressure has increased in the last ten years? Use a = 0.05. I can't find the sign=a I hope someone will know what I am talking about.
