In a large clinical trial, 397,948 children were randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group consisted of 199,326 children given a vaccine for a certain disease, and 31 of those children developed the disease. The other 198,622 children were given a placebo, and 95 of those children developed the disease. Consider the vaccine treatment group to be the first sample. Identify the values of n,, P1, 91, n2.

An LED light bulb manufacturer claims that the average lifespan of its 60-watt LED light bulbs is 27,000 hours. A corporate watchdog group is suspicious of the company's claim and thinks that the true average lifespan of the 60- watt LED light bulbs produced by the company may be less than the advertised 27,000 hours. The group collected and tested a random sample of 211 light bulbs and found the average lifespan of the sample was 26,941 hours. Use the p-value method to test the hypothesis that the mean lifespan of this brand of 60-watt LED light bulb is less than 27,000 hours, using a = 0.1. Assume the standard deviation of the lifespan of all such light bulbs is known to be 370 hours. State the null and alternative hypothesis for this test. Ho: ? H₁: ? Determine if this test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two- tailed. right-tailed two-tailed left-tailed Should the standard normal (z) distribution or Student's (t) distribution be used for this test? The Student's t distribution…

The drug Finasteride is marketed as Propecia to help protect against male pattern baldness, and it also may protect against prostate cancer. A large sampleof healthy men over age 55 were randomly assigned to receive either a daily Finasteride pill or a placebo. The study lasted seven years and the men had annual check-ups and a biopsy at the end of the study. Prostate cancer was found in 804 of 4368 men taking Finasteride and in 1145 of the 4692 men taking a placebo. the 95% confidence interval for the risk difference is (-0.077, -0.043). Compared to this confidence interval, a 98% confidence interval for the risk difference is: a.) wider b.) there is not enough information provided to decide c.) half the width d.) the same width e.) narrower

An executive at the home office of Big Rock Life Insurance is considering three branch managers as candidates for promotion to vice president. The branch reports include records showing sales volume for each salesperson in the branch (in hundreds of thousands of dollars). A random sample of these records was selected for salespersons in each branch. All three branches are located in cities in which per capita income is the same. The executive wishes to compare these samples to see if there is a significant difference in performance of salespersons in the three different branches. If so, the information will be used to determine which of the managers to promote.

Group 1: 500 potential voters; no registration reminders sent; 248 registered to vote Group 2: 600 potential voters; registration reminders sent; 332 registered to vote Do these data support the claim that the proportion of voters who registered was greater in the group that received reminders than in the group that did not?

The drug Finasteride is marketed as Propecia to help protect against male pattern baldness, and it also may protect against prostate cancer. A large sampleof healthy men over age 55 were randomly assigned to receive either a daily Finasteride pill or a placebo. The study lasted seven years and the men had annual check-ups and a biopsy at the end of the study. Prostate cancer was found in 804 of 4368 men taking Finasteride and in 1145 of the 4692 men taking a placebo. A 95% confidence interval for the risk difference (proportion of subjects on Finasteride who develop cancer - proportion of subjects on placebo who develop cancer) is (-0.077, -0.043). Does this confidence interval provide evidence of an association between development of cancer and taking Finasteride? Briefly justify your response.
