The treatment group consisted of 200,322 children given a vaccine for a certain disease, and 30 of those children developed the disease. The other 201,158 children were given a placebo, and 93 of those children developed the disease. Consider the vaccine treatment group to be the first sample.

According to a study on the effects of smoking by pregnant women on rates of asthma in their children, for expectant mothers who smoke 20 cigarettes per day, 22.2% of their children developed asthma by the age of two in the US. A biology professor at a university would like to test if the percentage is different in another country. She randomly selects 319 women who only deliver one child and smoke 20 cigarettes per day during pregnancy in that country and finds that 82 of the children developed asthma by the age of two. In this hypothesis test, Do the hypothesis test. Use a level of significance of a = 0.05; Use the unrounded values in Excel to find the answers for #3 and #4 1. This is an example of 2. Find the standard error. 3. Find the z value. Question 10 V a hypothesis test.
Two different blood pressure medicines are being compared to determine if the average reduction in blood pressure is the same for each medication. The goal of the study is to determine if the medications differ. Twenty men age 50-60 years old are selected for the study. Ten men are chosen at random to receive the first medication and the other 10 men receive the second medication. Each of the 20 men is monitored for one month to determine the change in blood pressure over that time. Minitab provides the 95% confidence interval for (mu1 - mu2) (2.63, 14.18) a. Interpret this 95% CI. b. What assumptions (be specific) are necessary to construct this CI?

A vaccine to prevent a severe virus was given to children within the first year of life as part of a drug study. The study reported that of the 3456bchildren randomly assigned the vaccine, 58 got the virus. Of the 1606 children randomly assigned the placebo, 46 got the virus. a. Find the sample percentage of children who caught the virus in each group. Is the sample percentage lower for the vaccine group, as investigators hoped? b. Determine whether the vaccine is effective in reducing the chance of catching the virus, using a significance level of 0.01.The first few steps of the hypothesis-testing procedure are given. Complete the procedure.

A study used 1259 patients who had suffered a stroke. The study randomly assigned each subject to an aspirin treatment or a placebo treatment. During a 3-year follow-up period, in Sample 1, 634 people received placebo treatments and 25 people died from heart attack. In sample 2, 625 people received aspirin treatment and 18 died from heart attack. Let pl denote the population proportion of death from heart attack for those with no treatment and p2 denote the population proportion of death from heart attack for those with aspirin treatment. (c) Which of SEO and SE1 is used for calculating a confidence interval for comparing two population proportions? Which is used for calculating the test statistic in a hypothesis test? (d) Construct the 95% confidence interval for pi – p2. Interpret.
The FAA is interested in knowing if there is a difference in the average number of on-time arrivals for four of the major airlines. The FAA believes that the number of on-time arrivals varies by airport, therefore, a randomized block design is used for the study. To control for this variation, they randomly select 100100 flights for each of the major airlines at each of four randomly selected airports and record the number of on-time flights. Can the FAA conclude that there is a significant difference among the average number of on-time arrivals for the four major airlines? The results of the study are as follows. Average Number of On-Time Arrivals Airport Airline A Airline B Airline C Airline D Airport A 9090 8282 8080 8383 Airport B 8282 7070 7474 7979 Airport C 8787 8484 7676 8888 Airport D 9090 7979 7979 9090 Copy DataANOVA Source of Variation SSSS dfdf MSMS Rows 181.6875181.6875 33 60.562560.5625 Columns 278.6875278.6875 33 92.895892.8958 Error…

A lawn mower company will produce 1,500 lawn mowers by 2020. In an effort to determine how much maintenance-free consumers will buy when they buy lawn mowers, the company decided to conduct a study over the past 1 year of these mowers. First, a random sample was taken by contacting 200 grass mowers. The company owner provides an 800 number and is asked to contact the company when the first repair is needed for the lawn mower. Owners who no longer use lawn mowers to cut their grass are either disqualified or not sampled. After 1 year, it turned out that 187 owners had reported for the first repair. However, the other 74 disqualified themselves. The average number per year until the first improvement was 5.3 times for samples deemed feasible. It is believed that the standard deviation is 1.28 per year. If the company wants to advertise the lawnmower and with a confidence level of 95%, what is the estimated annual mean value of repair-free lawn mower for this lawn mower? What is the…
