A study was performed to test the effectiveness of a new treatment for migraines. There were 125 patients in the study. Of these, 60 were randomly assigned to receive the standard treatment and 65 to receive the new treatment. All were instructed to take the medication at the onset of their next migraine and to notice if the pain of their migraine felt reduced after half an hour. Fifty patients receiving the new treatment reported reduced pain, compared with only 40 of the patients receiving the standard treatment. The results seem to favor the new treatment, but could the difference just be due to chance? In this problem, consider the null hypothesis that the percentage of patients with a reduction in pain is the same between the two treatments, versus the alternative hypothesis that the percentages are different. (a) Under the null hypothesis, the difference in the sample percentages is expected to be ___%. The standard error for the difference is estimated to be ___%. (b) Calculate…
Red Wine and Weight LossResveratrol, a compound in grapes and red wine, has been shown to promote weight loss in rodents and now in a primate.1 Lemurs fed a resveratrol supplement for four weeks had decreased food intake, increased metabolic rate, and a reduction in seasonal body-mass gain compared to a control group. Suppose a hypothetical study is done for a different primate species, with one group given a resveratrol supplement and the other group given a placebo. We wish to see if there is evidence that resveratrol increases the mean metabolism rate for this species. (This exercise presents hypothetical data. We will see the results from the actual study later in this chapter.) (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses.Let group 1 be the species taking a resveratrol supplement and let group 2 be the species taking a placebo.
An experiment to test the effectiveness of regular treatments with fluoride varnish to reduce tooth decay involved 36 volunteers who had half of their teeth (the right side or left side, determined by a coin flip) painted with a fluoride varnish every six month for 5 years. At the end of the treatments, the number of new cavities during the treatment period was compared on treatment (fluoride varnish) side versus the control (no fluoride varnish) side. The appropriate statistical test for analyzing the results of this experiment is O Paired t test for a mean difference O One sample z test for a population mean O Two sample t test for a difference in means O One sample z test for a population proportion O Two sample z test for a difference in proportions
A research team is interested in investigating the effectiveness of a new medication intended to reduce resting heart rate (beats per minute, BPM) in overweight patients. In order to test the medication, the researcher organizes a clinical trial with participants randomly assigned to receive either the new medication or a placebo. Suppose the following table represents the heart rates for a SRS from both groups. Data for the placebo group are {71, 71, 68, 67, 68, 69, 70, 70, 69, 72, 73} Data for the treatment group are {67, 66, 64, 64, 65, 64, 59, 63, 71, 64} Sample standard deviation for the placebo group is: 1.834 Sample standard deviation for the treatment group is: 3.057 What is the confidence interval?

The authors of the article "Adjuvant Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy in Node-Positive Premenopausal Women with Breast Cancer"† reported on the results of an experiment designed to compare treating cancer patients with chemotherapy only to treatment with a combination of chemotherapy and radiation. Of the 154 individuals who received the chemotherapy-only treatment, 76 survived at least 15 years, whereas 98 of the 164 patients who received the hybrid treatment survived at least that long. With p1 denoting the proportion of all such women who, when treated with just chemotherapy, survive at least 15 years and p2 denoting the analogous proportion for the hybrid treatment, p̂1 = (rounded to three decimal places) and p̂2 = (rounded to three decimal places). A confidence interval for the difference between proportions based on the traditional formula with a confidence level of approximately 99% is 0.494 − 0.598 ± (2.58) (0.494)(0.506) 154 + (0.598)(0.402) 164…

A group of toxicologists investigated the impact of exposure to low oxygen on the mortality of rice weevils. In an experiment, 31,386 of 31,421 rice weevils were found dead after exposure to nitrogen gas for 4 days. In a second experiment, 23,516 of 23,676 rice weevils were found dead after exposure to nitrogen gas for 3.5 days. Conduct a test of hypothesis to compare the mortality rates of adult rice weevils exposed to nitrogen at the two exposure times. Is there a significant difference (at a = 0.10) in the mortality rates? Give the null and alternative hypotheses. Let p, represent the proportion of rice weevils found dead in the first experiment and p, represent the proportion of rice weevils found dead in the second experiment.

A doctor is studying the relationship between blood pressure and heartbeat abnormalities in her patients. She tests a random sample of her patients and notes their blood pressures (high, low, or normal) and their heartbeats (regular or irregular). She finds that: 14% have high blood pressure. • 22% have low blood pressure. 15% have an irregular heartbeat. • Of those with an irregular heartbeat, one-third have high blood pressure. • Of those with normal blood pressure, one-eighth have an irregular heartbeat. What portion of the patients selected have a regular heartbeat and low blood pressure? (0.2)
A pharmaceutical company has developed a drug that is expected to reduce hunger. To test the drug, three samples of rats are selected with n=10n=10 in each sample. The first sample receives the drug every day. The second sample is given the drug once a week, and the third sample receives no drug at all (the control group). The dependent variables is the amount of food eaten by each rat over a 1-month period. These data are analyzed by an ANOVA, and the results are reported in the following summary table. Fill in all missing values in the table. (Hint: Start with the df column.) S.S. d.f. M.S.

Researchers suspect that drinking tea might enhance the production of interferon gamma, a molecule that helps the immune system fight bacteria, viruses, and tumors. A recent study involved 20 healthy people who did not normally drink tea or coffee. Ten of the participants were randomly assigned to drink five cups of tea a day, while 10 were asked to drink the same amount of coffee. After two weeks, blood samples were exposed to an antigen and production of interferon gamma were measured. The results are shown in the following table: Теа: 55 17 54 49 10 46 21 14 53 Coffee: 16 12 20 52 37 15 22 30 3 Let X ~ N(ux,o3) be the interferon gamma production for participants who drink tea and observations for the ten participants who drink tea are a random sample from X. Let Y ~ N(uy,o) be the interferon gamma production for participants who drink coffee and observations for the ten participants who drink coffee are a random sample from Y.

A researcher took a random sample of 200 new mothers in the United States (Group 1) and found that 16% of them experienced some form of postpartum depression. Another random sample of 200 new mothers in France (Group 2), where mothers receive 16 weeks of paid maternity leave, found that 11% experienced some form of postpartum depression. Can it be concluded that the percent of women in the United States experience more postpartum depression than the percent of women in France? Use α=0.05.
