In a clinical trial, 15 out of 800 patients taking a prescription drug complained of flulike symptoms. Suppose that it is known that 2.9% of patients taking competing drugs complain of flulike symptoms. Is this sufficient evidence to conclude that less than 2.9% of this drug's users experience flulike symptoms as a side effect? (Let α=0.05)

Concept explainers

2-Proportion Test

In a 2-proportion test, two separate proportions are measured at the same time, and their similarity is evaluated. It is also known as a 2-proportion z-test, and a comparison of two different proportions is done in this method.

A large research project showed that in a sample of 750 adults, 60 of them experienced a midlife crisis . Use this data to test the claim that the percentage of adults who experienced midlife crisis is less than 10%. Use (alpha)= 0.05 .
In 2000, 58% of females aged 15 and older lived alone, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. A sociologist tests whether this percentage is different today by conducting a random sample of 500 females aged 15 and older and finds that 285 are living alone. Is there sufficient evidence at the α = 0.1 level of significance to conclude the proportion has changed since 2000?
In a clinical trial, 29 out of 853 patients taking a prescription drug daily complained of flulike symptoms. Suppose that it is known that 2.9% of patients taking competing drugs complain of flulike symptoms.

It has been found that 27.6% of men (Group 1) 20 years and older suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure) and 33.1% of women (Group 2) are hypertensive. A random sample of 169 of each gender was selected from recent hospital records, and the following results were obtained. Can you conclude that a higher percentage of women have high blood pressure? Use α=0.05. Men: 39 patients had high blood pressure Women: 54 patients had high blood pressure Required: Test Value Only the final answer should be rounded-off to TWO decimal places. Add your answer
14% of all Americans suffer from sleep apnea. A researcher suspects that a higher percentage of those who live in the inner city have sleep apnea. Of the 391 people from the inner city surveyed, 59 of them suffered from sleep apnea. What can be concluded at the level of significance of αα = 0.05?
A 2019 study surveyed Norwegian parents about their children's eating habits and taste sensitivities. We are interested in seeing if there is a relationship between sensitivity to sweetness and emotional overeating. The study reports an F* = 2.34 with dfb 3 and dfw = 96. How many levels of 'sensitivity to sweetness' were used in the study? How many subjects participated in the entire study?
The recidivism rate for convicted sex offenders is 12%. A warden suspects that this percent is different if the sex offender is also a drug addict.

H0 = p,=,.12 H1 = p, (<,>,=,not equal) to .12 The test statistic = _____(3 decimal places) The p-value = ____(4 decimal places) The p-value is (<,>) a Based on this, we should (accept, reject, fail to reject) the null hypothesis.
To combat antibiotic resistance a throat swab is recommended to confirm strep throat before a physician prescribes antibiotics to children under age 5. Nationally, 40 percent of children under 5 who received antibiotics did not have a throat swab. The Department of Health took a random sample of 60 children under the age of 5 who received antibiotics for throat infections and found that 18 did not have a throat swab. At α = .05, is this a statistically significant reduction over last year’s national rate of 40 percent?(a) state the null and alternative hypotheses.(b)Calculate the critical value
Recent research has found that 10% of Americans aged 30-49 played tennis in the past 12 months. A local city wishes to test whether this is true in their city as well. If more than 10% of their residents aged 30-49 play tennis, improvements will be made on their tennis courts. A random survey of 200 residents aged 30-49 found that 48 played tennis. Do we have evidence that more than 10% of the residents play tennis? Use α=.05.
You are concerned that nausea may be a side effect of Tamiflu, but you cannot just give Tamiflu to patients with the flu and say that nausea is a side effect if people become nauseous. This is because nausea is common for people who have the flu. From past studies you know that about 31% of people who get the flu experience nausea. You collected data on 2211 patients who were taking Tamiflu to relieve symtoms of the flu, and found that 741 experienced nausea. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of people who take Tamiflu for the relief of flu symtoms and experience nausea is greater than 31%.
A research center claims that at least 27% of U.S adults think that the IRS will adult their taxes. In a random sample of 1000 U.S adults in a recent year 23% say they are concerned that the IRS will adult their taxes. At x=0.01, is there enough evidence to reject the center's claim?
