Eighteen middle-aged women with platelet readings between 120,000 platelets per microliter and 150,000 platelets per microliter of blood were selected randomly from the population of similar female patients at alarge local hospital. Nine of the 18 women were assigned randomly to group A and received a placebo. The other nine women were assigned to group B and received a new platelet drug. After four months,posttreatment platelet readings were taken for all 18 women and were compared with pretreatment readings. The reduction in platelet level (Pretreatment reading - Posttreatment reading) for each woman in the studyis shown here.Group A (placebo) increase (in platelets per microliter): 2,000, 5,000, 7,050, 10,125, 12,345, 17,350, 13,250, 12,200, 9,125Group B (platelet drug) increase (platelets per microliter): 28,450, 23,438, 36,380, 12,450, 16, 100, 21,350, 39,400, 41,000, 14,325Create and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the placebo and the new drug.

In a clinical trial, 780 participants suffering from high blood pressure were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Over a one-month period, the first group received a low dosage of an experimental drug, the second group received a high dosage of the drug, and the third group received a placebo. The diastolic blood pressure of each participant was measured at the beginning and at the end of the period and the change in blood pressure was recorded. Identify the experimental units (subjects).

A study used 1259 patients who had suffered a stroke. The study randomly assigned each subject to an aspirin treatment or a placebo treatment. During a 3-year follow-up period, in Sample 1, 634 people received placebo treatments and 25 people died from heart attack. In sample 2, 625 people received aspirin treatment and 18 died from heart attack. Let pl denote the population proportion of death from heart attack for those with no treatment and p2 denote the population proportion of death from heart attack for those with aspirin treatment. (c) Which of SEO and SE1 is used for calculating a confidence interval for comparing two population proportions? Which is used for calculating the test statistic in a hypothesis test? (d) Construct the 95% confidence interval for pi – p2. Interpret.
Fifteen inbred laboratory rats (Rattus norvegi-cus) were randomly assigned to three groups of five each. Each rat was inoculated with Staphylococcus mucans, a bacterium involved in the process of tooth decay. One group (control) was given no additional treatment. A second group was given drug A, and a third group was given drug B. At the end of six weeks, the extent of tooth decay in the rats was evaluated as percent of tooth decay. This is a fairly subjective measurement based on the combined evaluation of three observ-ers and should probably be regarded as an ordinal measurement. We wish to know if there is a difference among the three groups.
Makers of generic drugs are required to show that their generic drugs do not differ significantly from the “reference” or brand name drugs that they imitate. One aspect in which the generic drugs might differ is their extent of absorption in the blood. Twelve subjects were available for the study. Six were randomly selected to receive the generic drug first and then, after a washout period, receive the “reference” drug. The remaining six received the “reference” drug first, followed by the generic drug after the washout period. Suppose the actual p-value for a two-sided test is 0.140. On the basis of this p-value, what should you conclude at α = 0.05? Group of answer choices The mean difference between the absorption rate of the reference drug and the absorption rate of the generic drug is equal to zero There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean difference between the absorption rate of the reference drug and the absorption rate of the generic drug is not equal to…

Six were randomly selected to receive the generic drug first and then, after a washout period, receive the “reference” drug. The remaining six received the “reference” drug first, followed by the generic drug after the washout period. Assume that all conditions are met. The mean of the differences was 1.33 and the standard deviation of those differences was 2.90. What is the test statistic for this procedure? Group of answer choices 2.35 1.59 1.90 5.50
