In a comparative study of two new drugs, A and B, 275 patients were treated with drug A, and 400 patients were treated with drug B. (The two treatment groups were randomly and independently chosen.) It was found that 178 patients were cured using drug A and 300 patients were cured using drug B. Let p, be the proportion of the population of all patients who are cured using drug A, and let p, be the proportion of the population of all patients who are cured using drug B. Find a 95% confidence interval for p,-p. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your responses to at least three decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) Lower limit: Upper limit:

During one month, a blood donation center found that 45.5% of the donors had the A antigen. 14.5% of the donors had the B antigen. 4.6% of the donors had the A antigen and the B antigen. 84.6% of the donors were Rh+. 87.8% of the donors had the B antigen or were Rh+. (a) Find the percent of donors that have the A antigen or the B antigen. 55.4 % (b) Find the percent of donors that have the B antigen and are Rh+. ?
A medical researcher claims that the proportion of patients receiving 200 mg of a newly-developed influenza vaccine who go on to contract influenza strain X is less than the proportion of patients receiving 200 mg of last year's influenza vaccine who contract influenza strain X. Of 320 patients who are given last year's vaccine, 114 contract influenza strain X. Of 350 patients who are given the new vaccine, 112 of them contract influenza strain X. Let PN be the proportion of patients receiving the newly-developed vaccine and pL be the proportion of patients receiving last year's vaccine. State the null and alternative hypotheses and the value of the test statistic. Ho: PN =PL versus HA: PN > PL; Test statistic: Z = 0.99 Ho: PN=PL versus HA: PN > PL; Test statistic: Z = 1.55 Ho: PN-PL versus HA: PN PL; Test statistic: Z= 1.55 Ho: PN-PL versus HA: PN PL; Test statistic: Z= 0.99
A manufacturing company employs two inspecting devices to sample a fraction of their output for quality control purposes. The first inspection monitor is able to accurately detect 99.3% of the defective items it receives, whereas the second is able to do so in 99.7% of the cases. Assume that four defective items are produced and sent out for inspection. Let X and Y denote the number of items that will be identified as defective by inspecting devices 1 and 2, respectively. Determine the following. 1) fxy(x,y) 2) fx (x)3) fY|2 4) E(x)Show all work
In a randomized clinical trial, 888 people were placed given Drug A and 930 were given Drug B. The researcher's goals were to determine which drug had better efficacy against T.B. Of those who were given Drug A, 300 contracted T.B. Of the subjects who were given Drug B, 500 contracted T.B. Calculate and interpret the risk ratio of Drug B compared to Drug A for getting T.B.? 10. In Box City, an influenza vaccine was tested on 1,000 people, 400 males and 600 females. Of the males, 50% contracted influenza after vaccination versus 30% of the females. Calculate and interpret the risk ratio of females compared to males of contracting influenza. 11.

Answer A, B1, and B2: A. The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5 percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population. B. Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level…
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference p₁ - P2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value.

In an article published in 2012 at Telegraph.co.uk, Warranty Direct gave engine failure rates for a variety of car brands based on their database of UK direct consumer warranties. The following are known: ● Hondas failed at a rate of 1 in 344. ● Fords failed at a rate of 1 in 80. ● Audis failed at a rate of 1 in 27. Suppose Hondas account for 20% of sales at a particular dealer, Audis 30%, and Fords 50%. Assuming the engine failure rates apply to these vehicles. Determine the probability that a randomly selected vehicle from this dealer will experience engine failure.
A cat-lover claims that cats are just as smart as dogs. In order to back this claim up with some evidence she organizes a study at a large local pet daycare center. A random sample of 40 cats are selected and a random sample of 40 dogs are selected. Each of the selected animals is given one hour with a trainer in which the trainer attempts to teach them to roll over. Upon conclusion of the training, the proportion of dogs and proportion of cats that have learned this skill is computed. The trainer reports that she is 90% confident that the true difference in the proportion of all dogs and all cats (pD – pC) that can learn this skill with one hour of training is between –0.05 to 0.28. Which of the following conclusions can be made based upon this confidence interval? (A) Because most of the values in the confidence interval are positive, this proves that dogs are smarter than cats. (B) Because the point estimate of the confidence interval is positive, there is convincing evidence…
In a lightbulb factory, an administrator selects a random sample of bulbs produced on assembly line A and a random sample of bulbs produced on assembly line B. The administrator calculates the proportion of malfunctioning bulbs produced by each assembly line and finds that the difference between them (A - B) is 0.008. A researcher conducted a hypothesis test with the following hypotheses: H0: The proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line A is the sample as the proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line B. HA: The proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line A is greater than the proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line B. She found a P-value of 0.016. What is the best interpretation of this P-value? a If there is no difference in the proportions of all defective parts made on the two assembly lines, the probability of observing a difference of at least 0.008 is 0.016. b If there is a difference of 0.016 in the proportions…
