In a COVID-19 testing facility, samples from 4 persons are mixed together in a pooled sample. Then, the pooled sample is tested for the SARS-COV-2 virus traces: • If the pooled sample gives negative result, then none of the persons must have the SARS- CoV-2 virus (assuming accurate testing). • However, if the pooled sample gives postive result, then one or more persons must have the virus (assuming accurate testing). Consequently, individual samples need to be tested separately. If the estimated percentage of infected people(has) is 57%, what is the probability that a pooled sample gives negative result?

I read about an antiviral drug called Paxlovid which can be given to high-risk individuals early after exposure to Covid-19 and is said to be protective against serious illness. A group of 1219 high-risk people were selected and 607 were given Paxlovid and 612 were given a placebo. After 28 days, nobody given Paxlovid had died and 6 were hospitalized. Among the placebo group, 10 had died and 41 were hospitalized. Our goal is to compare the difference in these proportions and assess the significance of the differences. We will add the steps as we go. What makes sense as a null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis? 2. What would be a good level of significance, and what is the critical value?
A crop researcher investigated the phenotypes that resulted from crossing two different types of cucumber plants. There are 4 possible resulting phenotypes (numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 in the data table below). Mendel's laws of genetic inheritance ('the model') suggest that the proportions should be 9/16, 3/16, 3/16 and 1/16 for phenotypes 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively. The classification of a sample of 1400 observations is given below together with the proportions suggested by Mendel's laws of inheritance (the model). Give the degrees of freedom that would be used in a test of whether or not the crossing results in a population that follows Mendel's laws of inheritance. Degrees of freedom =
A former residential complex was found to be a Superfund site polluted with several hazardous materials. Tamela is an investigative journalist who would like to show whether the proportion of the residents of the complex who eventually died from cancer is greater than the regional average of 14%. She randomly selects 54 residents who lived in the complex and finds that 12 of those residents eventually died from cancer. Are all of the conditions for this hypothesis test met, and if so, what are the null and alternative hypotheses for this hypothesis test? Select the correct answer below: Although the proportion follows a binomial model with two independent outcomes and the data are selected at random, the number of successes and the number of failures are not both greater than or equal to 5. Although the proportion follows a binomial model with two independent outcomes and the number of successes and the number of failures are both greater than or equal to 5, the…
In a clinical trial of Nasonex, 300 allergy patients were randomized into two groups, with Group 1 receiving the Nasonex drug (200 mg) and Group 2 receiving a placebo. The experimenter used a 2:1 randomization plan so that more subjects would be assigned to the Nasonex group. One outcome of interest is the incidence rate of headache as a side-effect. Of the 200 patients randomized to the Nasonex group, 52 (or 26%) reported experiencing a headache; and of the 100 patients randomized to the placebo group, only 22 (22%) reported a headache. 1. The makers of Nasonex are concerned that their allergy medication might increase the incidence of headaches. So they would like to assess the claim that the incidence rate of headaches is higher for Nasonex users as compared to placebo. So the null hypothesis is given by H0: p1 - p2 = 0. Select the appropriate alternative hypothesis. Ha: p1 - p2 ≠ 0 Ha: p1 - p2 > 0 Ha: p1 - p2 < 0 2. It seems that the sample sizes of 200…
Based on advancements in drug therapy, a pharmaceutical company is developing Resithan, a new treatment for depression. A medical researcher for the company is studying the effectiveness of Resithan as compared to their existing drug, Exemor. A random sample of 422 depressed individuals is selected and treated with Resithan, and 167 find relief from their depression. A random sample of 579 depressed individuals is independently selected from the first sample and treated with Exemor, and 203 find relief from their depression. Based on the medical researcher's study can we conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the proportion p₁ of all depressed individuals taking Resithan who find relief from depression is greater than the proportion p₂ of all depressed individuals taking Exemor who find relief from depression? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in…

Sickle-cell anemia is a hereditary chronic blood disease that is extremely severe when an individual carries two copies of the defective gene. It is particularly common in countries plagued by malaria, a parasiticinfection transmitted by mosquitoes. A study in Africa tested 543 children for the sickle-cell gene and also for malaria. In Group 1 which consisted of 136 children with the sickle-cell gene, 36 children had severe malariainfections. Group 2 consisted of 407 children without the sickle-cell gene, and 152 of them had severe malaria infections. Conduct a test to determine if the proportion of severe malaria infections among children withthe sickle-cell trait is different from that among children without. Test at 5% level of significance. Question: What is your p value and t statistic ?

An agronomist is interested in comparing the efficacy of two fumigants (A and B) and a control (O) in eliminating wireworms. A field is divided into 4 sections, each section containing 3 plots. Fumigant A, B and O were randomly assigned to one plot within each section. The number of wireworms that remained on each plot after application of fumigant was recorded. Give a possible RCBD layout for the experiment.
A university researcher knowledgeable in Chinese medicine conducted a study to determine whether acupuncture can help reduce cocaine addiction. In this experiment, 18 cocaine addicts were randomly assigned to one of three groups of 6 addicts per group. One group received 10 weeks of acupuncture treatment in which the acupuncture needles were inserted into points on the outer ear where stimulation is believed to be effective. Another group, a placebo group, had acupuncture needles inserted into points on the ear believed not to be effective. The third group received no acupuncture treatment; instead, addicts in this group received relaxation therapy. All groups also received counseling over the 10-week treatment period. The dependent variable was craving for cocaine as measured by the number of cocaine urges experienced by each addict in the last week of treatment. The following are the results. Acupuncture + Counseling Placebo + Counseling Relaxation Therapy + Counseling…
Some researchers have conjectured that stem-pitting disease in peach tree seedlings might be controlled with weed and soil treatment. An experiment was conducted to compare peach tree seedling growth with soil and weeds treated with one of two herbicides. In a field containing 20 seedlings, 10 were randomly selected from throughout the field and assigned to receive Herbicide A. The remaining 10 seedlings were to receive Herbicide B. Soil and weeds for each seedling were treated with the appropriate herbicide and at the end of the study period the height (in centimeters) was recorded for each seedling. A box plot of each data set showed no indication of non-Normality. The following results were obtained: (cm) s (cm) Herbicide A Herbicide B 94.5 109.1 10 A 95% confidence interval for uB - HA is given by which of the following expressions?

Ten hens whose eggs recently hatched were selected at random. From each of these hens, two chicks were selected to test the effect of a vitamin supplement on early growth. The chicks in each pair were siblings of similar high birth weight. One chick in each pair was given the supplement and the other was not. After two weeks the weight of each chick was recorded. The researcher would like to test the research hypothesis that the supplement increases growth rate of chicks in the first weeks after hatching against the null hypothesis that it has no effect. The most appropriate test would be... A. z-test for the difference between two proportions. B. chi-square test. C. paired sample t-test. D. two sample t-test.
