Part 1

A certain drug is used to treat asthma. In a clinical trial of the drug,

275

treated subjects experienced headaches (based on data from the manufacturer). The accompanying calculator display shows results from a test of the claim that less than

11%

of treated subjects experienced headaches. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution and assume a

0.05

significance level to complete parts (a) through (e) below.

p= value

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
