A group of virologists conducted a medical study to investigate whether cow's milk makes a difference in the chances of developing osteoporosis. 2,000 adult volunteers were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Half of the volunteers were assigned to drink cow's milk and the other half were assigned a placebo drink to take each day. At the end of two years, 110 of the volunteers who drank cow's milk developed osteoporosis and 85 of the people who took the placebo drink developed osteoporosis. a. Do the data provide convincing statistical evidence at a = 0.10 that drinking cow's milk will make a difference in the chance of developing osteoporosis?

According to a study on the effects of smoking by pregnant women on rates of asthma in their children, for expectant mothers who smoke 20 cigarettes per day, 22.2% of their children developed asthma by the age of two in the US. A biology professor at a university would like to test if the percentage is different in another country. She randomly selects 319 women who only deliver one child and smoke 20 cigarettes per day during pregnancy in that country and finds that 82 of the children developed asthma by the age of two. In this hypothesis test, Do the hypothesis test. Use a level of significance of a = 0.05; Use the unrounded values in Excel to find the answers for #3 and #4 1. This is an example of 2. Find the standard error. 3. Find the z value. Question 10 V a hypothesis test.
Two different blood pressure medicines are being compared to determine if the average reduction in blood pressure is the same for each medication. The goal of the study is to determine if the medications differ. Twenty men age 50-60 years old are selected for the study. Ten men are chosen at random to receive the first medication and the other 10 men receive the second medication. Each of the 20 men is monitored for one month to determine the change in blood pressure over that time. Minitab provides the 95% confidence interval for (mu1 - mu2) (2.63, 14.18) a. Interpret this 95% CI. b. What assumptions (be specific) are necessary to construct this CI?
A pharmaceutical company proposed a vaccine that would combat paralytic polio. Two independent random samples were collected from the population. One random sample of 201,229 was given the placebo, and among them 100,910 contracted paralytic polio. The other random sample of 200,745 was given the vaccine, and among them 50,033 people ended up contracting paralytic polio. Let the true proportion of cases of paralytic polio given placebo be p1p1 and the true proportion of cases of paralytic polio given vaccine be p2. Calculate the upper bound of a 95% confidence interval for p1−p2. Round your answer to three decimal places.
In randomized, double-blind clinical trials of a new vaccine, children were randomly divided into two groups. Subjects in group 1 received the new vaccine while subjects in group 2 received a control vaccine. After the second dose, 125 of 746 subjects in the experimental group (group 1) experienced fever as a side effect. After the second dose, 82 of 627 of the subjects in the control group (group 2) experienced fever as a side effect. Does the evidence suggest that a higher proportion of subjects in group 1 experienced fever as a side effect than subjects in group 2 at the a= 0.01 level of significance? Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
The authors of a paper randomly selected two samples of patients admitted to the hospital after suffering a stroke. One sample was selected from patients who received biofeedback weight training for 8 weeks, and the other sample was selected from patients who did not receive this training. At the end of 8 weeks, the time it took (in seconds) to stand from a sitting position and then to sit down again (called sit-stand-sit time) was measured for the people in each sample. Data consistent with summary quantities given in the paper are given below. For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that the samples are representative of the population of stroke patients who receive the biofeedback training and the population of stroke patients who do not receive this training.

The Stanford University Heart Transplant Study was conducted to determine whether an experimental heart transplant program increased lifespan. Each patient entering the program was officially designated a heart transplant candidate, meaning that he was gravely ill and might benefit from a new heart. Patients were randomly assigned into a treatment and control groups. Patients in the treatment group received a transplant and those in the control group did not. The table below displays how many patients survived and died in each group. control treatment alive 4 24 dead 30 45 Explain why we cannot construct a confidence interval or a hypothesis test (hint: consider the conditions).
Green Tea and Prostate Cancer A preliminary study suggests a benefit from green tea for those at risk of prostate cancer. The study involved 60 men with PIN lesions, some of which turn into prostate cancer. Half the men, randomly determined, were given 600 mg a day of a green tea extract while the other half were given a placebo. The study was double-blind, and the results after one year are shown in the table below. Treatment Cancer No Cancer Green Tea 1 29 Placebo 9 21 (a) Test at a 5% significant level to see if the sample provide evidence that taking green tea extract reduces the risk of developing prostate cancer. (b) Find 98% confidence interval for the difference between two population proportions of men with PIN lesions who get prostate cancer after taking green tea extract and after taking placebo for a year. Interpret the C.I. result.

In randomized, double-blind clinical trials of a new vaccine, monkeys were randomly divided into two groups. Subjects in group 1 received the new vaccine while subjects in group 2 received a control vaccine. After the second dose, 117 of 750 subjects in the experimental group (group 1) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. After the second dose, 74 of 631 of the subjects in the control group (group 2) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. Does the evidence suggest that a higher proportion of subjects in group 1 experienced drowsiness as a side effect than subjects in group 2 at the a = 0.05 level of significance? Determine the P-value for this hypothesis test. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Interpret the P-value. If the population proportions are one would expect a sample difference proportion the one observed in about out of 1000 repetitions of this experiment. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)

A study conducted by researchers was designed "to determine if application of duct tape is as effective as cryotherapy in the treatment of common warts." The researchers randomly divided 6969 patients into two groups. The 3535 patients in group 1 had their warts treated by applying duct tape. The 3434 patients in group 2 had their warts treated by cryotherapy. Once the treatments were complete, it was determined that 6969% of the patients in group 1 and 8585% of the patients in group 2 had complete resolution of their warts. The researchers concluded that cryotherapycryotherapy is significantly more effective in treating warts than duct tapeduct tape.

A personal trainer wanted to test the effectiveness of two different workout routines. She took a random sample of 70 of her clients and, in a random order, had them complete one of the two routines for two weeks. Then, after a one-month waiting period, she asked them to come back and do the other routine for two weeks. After each two-week period of the exercise routines, she measured their performance on a physical fitness aptitude test. She found the average difference in aptitude scores between the two routines for each client was 30.4 with a standard error of 3.2. What would be her 85% confidence interval for the average difference in the effectiveness of the two routines? (3 decimal places) ( , )
A psychologist has developed a mental alertness test. She wishes to study the effects (if any) of type of food consumed on mental alertness. Twenty-one volunteers were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups were told to eat the amount they usually eat for lunch at noon. At 2:00 P.M., all subjects were given the alertness test. Group A had a low-fat lunch with no red meat, lots of vegetables, carbohydrates, and fiber. Group B had a high-fat lunch with red meat, vegetable oils, and low fiber. The only drink for both groups was water. The test scores are shown below.
