A dinical trial is being planned to investigate the effect of a new experimental drug designed to reduce total serum cholesterol. Investigators will enroll participants with total cholesterol levels between 200- 240, they will be randomized to receive the new drug or a placebo and followed for 2 months, and the total cholesterol will be measured. Investigators plan to run a test of hypothesis and want 80% power to detect a difference of 8 points in mean total cholesterol levels between groups.

Please answer all sub-parts Clinical trials involved treating patients with Tamiflu, which is a medicine intended to attack the influenza virus and stop it from causing flu symptoms. Among 724 patients treated with Tamiflu, 72 experienced nausea as an adverse reaction. Use a significance level of 0.05 to test the claim that the rate of nausea experienced by patients who were given Tamiflu is higher than the 6% rate experienced by flu patients who were given a placebo.
In order to evaluate a spectrophotometric method for the determination of titanium concentration, the method was uased on 64 alloy samples containing different certified amounts of titanium. For each alloy, eight different concentrations of titanium were made. Additionally, two spectrophotometer machines were used in the lab to control for possible variation between machines. Each machine received a random allocation of each concentration of alloy. Below you will find an ANOVA analysis for difference in certified mean concentrations detected using machines as a blocking fator. (You will have to calculate some of the values in the tables marked with ). Concentration 1.93 Machine 0.16 Residuals 14.27 Which one of the following is correct given the ANOVA table (using a 5% level of significance)? A. The method was able to detect the difference in the concentrations of titanium alloys; additionally, there was a detectable difference in the mean concentration between machines.…
Organic Grains LLC uses statistical process control toensure that its health-conscious, low-fat, multigrain sandwichloaves have the proper weight. Based on a previously stable andin-control process, the control limits of the x - and R -charts areUCLx = 6.56. LCLx = 5.84, UCLR = 1.141, LCLR = 0. Overthe past few days, they have taken five random samples of fourloaves each and have found the following:
Thanks to an initiative to recruit top students, an administrator at a college claims that this year's entering class must have a greater mean IQ score than that of entering classes from previous years. The administrator tests a random sample of 17 of this year's entering students and finds that their mean IQ score is 117, with a standard deviation of 15. The college records indicate that the mean IQ score for entering students from previous years is 110. Is there enough evidence to conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the population mean IQ score, μ, of this year's class is greater than that of previous years? To answer, assume that the IQ scores of this year's entering class are approximately normally distributed. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H₁.

A program to decrease littering was carried out at the University of Ghana starting in August 2018. the amount of litter in the streets [ average kilograms of litter collected per block per day] was measured during July 2018 before the program started and then September 2019, after the program had been in effect for about a year. what statistical test would be most appropriate for testing whether the amount of littering reduced? Explain your answer.
A researcher is studying hospitals cleanliness comparing carpeted rooms with uncarpted rooms. This researcher would like to determine if the mean number of airborne bacteria (per cubic foot) in carpeted rooms differs from the mean amount of airborne bacteria in uncarpeted rooms. To test thus, carpeted and uncarpeted hospitals rooms were randomely selected. Then air from the room was pumped over a petri dish and the number of bacteria of the patri dish was recorded. Since both samples are small (less than 30), you may assume that number of bacteria per petri dish is normally distributed. Using significant level =.05, use the unequal varance t-test for means to determine if the mean number of airborne bacteria in carpeted rooms differs from the mean number of airborne bacteria in uncarpeted rooms. Follow all steps and remember that you must assign population 1 and population 2 before you set up your Ho and Ha.
Thanks to an initiative to recruit top students, an administrator at a college claims that this year's entering class must have a greater mean IQ score than that of entering classes from previous years. The administrator tests a random sample of 11 of this year's entering students and finds that their mean IO score is 118, with a standard deviation of 13. The college records indicate that the mean IO score for entering students from previous years is 110. Is there enough evidence to conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the population mean IQ score, M, of this year's class is greater than that of previous years? To answer, assume that the IQ scores of this year's entering class are approximately normallydistributed. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places.

Oral N-acetylcysteine (NAC) exerts a beneficial action in chronic bronchitis by reducing the number of exacerbations. Bontognali et al. [1] conducted a randomized, double-blind study to measure the effectiveness of NAC in the long-term treatment of patients with chronic bronchitis and mild airway obstruction. The response is the number of acute exacerbations per month. The mean value and standard deviation for both experimental and placebo group are given below: Placebo Sample size 59 Mean Standard Deviation 0.15 Sample size Standard Deviation 0.19 70 0.16 To test if there is a statistically significant differences between NAC and placebo in number of observed exacerbations, the author plans to conduct a hypothesis testing at 10% level of significance. Answer the following questions according to the study: NAC Mean 0.11
