Do the needs of patients in the emergency room differ for those who come by car vs. those by ambulance? Of the randomly selected emergency room patients who came by car 65 had an injury, 45 were sick, 48 had heart problems and 51 had other needs. Of the randomly selected emergency room patients who came by ambulance 49 had an injury, 30 were sick, 53 had heart problems and 26 had other needs. Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test using an αα = 0.05 level of significance. The test-statistic for this data = (Please show your answer to three decimal places.) The p-value for this sample = (Please show your answer to four decimal places.)

The drug Prevnar is a vaccine meant to prevent bacterial meningitis. A randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted. A total of 551 people were surveyed. Where the subjects in Group 1 received Prevnar and the subjects in Group 2 received a control vaccine. 137 of 452 subjects in Group 1 and 31 of 99 subjects in Group 2 experienced drowsiness as a side effect. Can you conclude that there is a significant difference in the proportion of people in group 1 and group 2 experienced drowsiness as a side affect at the 1% significance level?
The effectiveness of a new headache medicine is tested by measuring the amount of time before the headache iscured for patients who use the medicine and another group of patients who use a placebo drug. Which type of hypothesis test would be suitable?
Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted thirty years ago revealed that out of 378 randomly selected adults in the United States 57 were considered to be obese. In this year’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, out of 426randomly selected adults in the United States 135 were considered to be obese. Based on these results, can one conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the percentage of adults in the United States that are obese is considerably higher now than it was thirty years ago?
In clinical trials of Nasonex, 3774 adult and adolescent allergy patients were randomly divided into two groups.The patients in group 1 received 200?g of Nasonex, while the patients in group 2 received a placebo. Of the 2103patients in the experimental group, 547 reported headaches as a side effect. Of the 1671 patients in the controlgroup, 368 reported headaches as a side effect. Is there significant evidence to conclude that the proportion ofNasonex users who experienced headaches as a side effect is greater than the proportion in the control group atthe ? = 0.05 level of significance?a.) Verify that the requirements for inference about two population proportions is satisfied.b.) What is the Null and Alternative Hypotheses? What test will you be using?c.) What is the level of significance and the ?-value?
A clinical trial tested the effectiveness of bupropion hydrochloride in helping people who want to stop smoking. Results of abstinence from smoking 52 weeks after the treatment are summarized in the table below. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that whether a subject smokes is independent of whether the subject was treated with bupropion hydrochloride or a placebo.

The Human Resources Department is studying absenteeism with employees. They have noticed an unacceptable level of absenteeism that is believed to be related to the general health of the employees. Twelve months ago, a fitness program for employees was started at the company. To evaluate the program, a random sample of eight participants were studied before the fitness program began and the same eight participants were studied twelve months later. The Human Resources Department believes the number of absences should change over the twelve months. Before After Difference Employee 1. What is dbar? 2. What is tcrit? 3. What is at? 4.

A researcher was interested in how the effects of stress were different in people with our without military training. A equal number of participants were recruited that either had no military experience or had completed military experience. All participants were asked to give a speech without preparation while being judged by a panel of experts. Their heart rates were monitored during the speech and an average heart rate was calcuated for each participant. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference between groups? one-sample t-test dependent samples t-test independent samples t-test ANOVA
A clinical trial is conducted comparing a new pain reliever for arthritis to a placebo. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the new treatment or a placebo and the outcome is pain relief within 30 minutes. Of the 120 participants who received the new medication, 44 reported pain relief, while 21 out of the 120 participants who received the placebo reported pain relief. Is there a significant difference in the proportions of patients reporting pain relief? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following to receive full credit: 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic, and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value.
An experiment was conducted to test if 2 new anti-anxiety medications will have an effect on number of anxiety symptoms. The researcher randomly assigned participants to one of the three experimental groups. Groups 1 and 2 took the 2 new medications while Group 3 took a placebo pill. The researcher was interested in determining whether there would be a difference in the number of anxiety symptoms among the three groups. Assume an alpha level of 0.05 and a two-tailed test. What statistical test should you use to evaluate the hypothesis above? one-way independent ANOVA Pearson Product-Moment Correlation simple linear regression multiple linear regression three-way independent ANOVA
