In a comparative study of two new drugs, A and B, 350 patients were treated with drug A, and 375 patients were treated with drug B. (The two treatment groups were randomly and independently chosen.) It was found that 255 patients were cured using drug A and 262 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 99% confidence interval for p,-p,. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 99% 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:

In a 2009 study, a team of researchers recruited 38 men and divided them randomly into two groups - treatment or control. The also recruited 38 women and they randomly placed half the participants into the treatment group and the other half into the control group. One group was given 25 grams of chia seeds twice a day, and the other was given a placebo. The subjects volunteered to be a part of the study. After 12 weeks, the scientists found no significant difference between the groups in appetite or weight loss. Which of the following is true. (i) This is an observational study (ii) Blinding is used in this study because subjects in the control group recieved a placebo, so that htey were blinded to the treatment they recieved. (iii) We can safely generalize the conclusion (that chia seeds have no significant effect on appetite or weight loss) from the participants to the population at large because randomization is used when assigning participatns to groups.
A health scientist is testing the effectiveness of three different diets (Diet A, Diet B, and Diet C). To determine diet effectiveness, a group of 72 participants were weighed and then randomly assigned to adhere to one of the three diets for a month (N = 24 for each group). At the end of the month, each participant was weighed again and the amount of weight lost was calculated in kilograms (kg). Using the variables “Diet” and “Weight Loss kg”, conduct a One-Way, Between Subjects, ANOVA, at α = 0.05, AND conduct Tukey's Post Hoc testing to find out which of the three diets was most effective. Identify the correct symbolic notation for the null hypothesis. A. HA: µ1 ≠ µ2 B. H0: µ1 = µ2 = µ3 C. HA: µ1 ≠ µ2 ≠ µ3 D. H0: µ1 = µ2
Solid fats are more likely to raise blood cholesterol levels than liquid fats. Suppose a nutritionist analyzed the percentage of saturated fat for a sample of 6 brands of stick margarine (solid fat) and for a sample of 6 brands of liquid margarine and obtained the following results: Stick:[25.5,26.7,26.5,26.6,26.3,26.4] Liquid:[16.5,17.1,17.5,17.3,17.2,16.7] We want to determine if there a significant difference in the average amount of saturated fat in solid and liquid fats. What is the test statistic? a) z = 39.604 b) t = 25.263 c) t = 39.604 d) z = 39.104 e) t = 39.104
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+. ?
The General Social Survey is completed by adults living in the United States. In 2016 and 2018, respondents who were not living with both of their parents were asked why. In 2016 (group 1). 581 out of 1008 said that the reason was that their parents were divorced or separated. In 2018 (group 2), 483 out of 644 said that the reason was that their parents were divorced or separated. For the alternative hypothesis that there is a difference between the two years (Ha: P2 - P₁ does not equal O), what is the test statistic? Round your answer to two decimal places. Make sure to include a negative sign if appropriate.
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
A study was conducted to determine whether big-city and small-town dwellers differed in their helpfulness to strangers. In this study, the investigators rang the doorbells of strangers living in a large City or small towns in the vicinity. They explained they had misplaced the address of a friend living in the neighbourhood and asked to use the phone. The following data show the number of individuals who admitted or did not admit the strangers (the investigators) into their homes: Helpfulness to strangers Admitted strangers into their home Didnot admit strangers into their home Big city dwellers 60 90 Small town dwellers 70 30 State the dependent and independent variable Is this a directional or non directional
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.
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)
Biologists in Minnesota are interested in determining if there is a difference in the invasion rate of Asian Carp (which can be detrimental to the environment) between the Mississippi River and Lake Mille Lacs. In the Mississippi River, it was found that 206 of 579 fish caught were Asian Carp. In Lake Mille Lacs, 28 of 132 fish caught were Asian Carp. Let p, = the true proportion of Asian Carp in the Mississippi River and let p2 = the true proportion of Asian Carp in Lake Mille Lacs. A test of Ho: P₁ = P2 vs. Ha: P₁ P₂ resulted in a p-value of 0.0015. Which of the following is a correct conclusion? (A) The test is not appropriate, since the researchers should have conducted a one-sided test. (B) The test is not appropriate, since the sample size is too small to conduct an inference test for proportions. (C) The test is not appropriate, since the two sample sizes are very different. (D) The p-value of this test is large, indicating we have sufficient evidence to conclude that a…
