A clinical trial is conducted to compare an experimental medication to placebo to reduce the symptoms of asthma. Two hundred participants are enrolled in the study and randomized to receive either the experimental medication or placebo. The primary outcome is self-reported reduction of symptoms. Among 100 participants who receive the experimental medication, 38 report a reduction of symptoms as compared to 21 participants of 100 assigned to placebo. When you test if there is a significant difference in the proportions of participants reporting a reduction of symptoms between the experimental and placebo groups. Use α = 0.05. What should the researcher’s conclusion be for a 5% significance level? Reject H0because 2.64 ≥ 1.960. We have statistically significant evidence at α = 0.05 to show that there is a difference in the proportions of patients reporting a reduction in symptoms. We reject H0 at the 5% level because 2.64 is greater than 1.96. We do have statistically…
A study was performed to test the effectiveness of aspirin in the treatment of strokes. There were 200 patients in the study. A random sample of 110 of these patients were placed in the “aspirin” group, and the remaining 90 in the “control” group. After six months of treatment, all the patients were evaluated and their condition recorded as either favorable or unfavorable. Of the 110 “aspirin” patients, 72 had favorable outcomes; of the 90 “control” patients, 53 had favorable outcomes. We want to test the null hypothesis that the percentage of favorable outcomes is the same between the two conditions.   Write down the box model for the null hypothesis as a sentence or picture of the box.               Under the null hypothesis, the difference in the sample percentages is expected to be ________%, and the standard error for the difference is ________%.        Calculate the appropriate two-sample z test statistic.             Calculate the p-value and express what it means in plain…
A 2017 article in The New England Journal of Medicine details the results of a randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of a rotavirus gastroenteritis vaccine designed for infants. As per the authors: “Each year, rotavirus gastroenteritis is responsible for about 37% of deaths from diarrhea among children younger than 5 years of age worldwide, with a disproportionate effect in sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial in Niger to evaluate the efficacy of a live, oral bovine rotavirus pentavalent vaccine (BRV-PV, Serum Institute of India) to prevent severe rotavirus gastroenteritis. Healthy infants received three doses of the vaccine or placebo at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age. Episodes of rotavirus gastroenteritis were assessed through active and passive surveillance.” The following Kaplan-Meier curves show the time to a diagnosis of rotavirus gastroenteritis separately for the vaccine and placebo samples. Infants were followed for up to 60…
In randomized, double-blind clinical trials of a new vaccine, monkeys were randomly divided into two groups. Subjects in group 1 received the new vaccine while subjects in group 2 received a control vaccine. After the second dose, 117 of 750 subjects in the experimental group (group 1) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. After the second dose, 74 of 631 of the subjects in the control group (group 2) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. Does the evidence suggest that a higher proportion of subjects in group 1 experienced drowsiness as a side effect than subjects in group 2 at the a = 0.05 level of significance?

In randomized, double-blind clinical trials of a new vaccine, toddlers were randomly divided into two groups. Subjects in group 1 received the new vaccine while subjects in group 2 received a control vaccine. After the second dose, 121 of 379 subjects in the experimental group (group 1) experienced nausea as a side effect. After the second dose, 150 of 595 of the subjects in the control group (group 2) experienced nausea as a side effect. Does the evidence suggest that a higher proportion of subjects in group 1 experienced nausea as a side effect than subjects in group 2 at the α = 0.10 level of significance?
A paper published in the Journal of Dermatology and Venereology reported that nickel allergy more likely to occur in women who report cosmetic dermatitis from using eye shadow. The researcher has taken two samples in their study from a similar population. In the first sample of 131 women with cosmetic dermatitis from using eye shadow, 12 were diagnosed with a nickel allergy. While in the second sample of 250 women with cosmetic dermatitis from using eye shadow, 25 were diagnosed with a nickel allergy. Compute a 95% confidence interval that is a closely related but simpler alternative to Wilson's Method for the first and the second samples for the proportion of women with cosmetic dermatitis from using eye shadow who have a nickel allergy. (i) (ii) Compare the two confidence intervals you compute in (i). (i) Suppose you are informed that the true proportion of women diagnosed with a nickel allergy is 0.12. Explain it refers to which group.
The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations mandated that hospitals ban smoking by 1994. To study the effects of this ban on smoking behaviors, subjects were randomly selected from two different populations: those from hospitals with the ban and those from hospitals without the ban. Investigators were interested in determining if this smoking ban had any impact on the proportion of smokers employed at each hospital that then quit smoking. Among 843 smoking employees of hospitals with the smoking ban, 56 quit smoking during the study period. Among 703 smoking employees from workplaces without the smoking ban, 27 quit smoking during the study period. Below is the Stata output that was run to determine if there was a statistically significant difference between these two proportions at the α=0.05 level. A. What is the estimate of the proportion of smokers from the hospitals that implemented the ban that quit smoking (the blank labeled "C" in the above output)?…
Researchers studying the effect of antibiotic treatment for acute sinusitis compared to symptomatic treatments randomly assigned 166 adults diagnosed with acute sinusitis to one of two groups: treatment or control. Study participants received either a 10-day course of amoxicillin (an antibiotic) or a placebo similar in appearance and taste. The placebo consisted of symptoatic treatments such as acetaminophen, nasal decongestants, etc. At the end of the 10-day period, patients were asked if they experienced improvement in symptoms. The distribution of responses is summized below. We want to test if there is a difference in the improvement rates of sinusitis symptoms between the treatment and the placebo.(a) Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses(b) Calculate the test statistic and find the P-value(c) Please check the conditions required to do the test above.

Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?
A large clinical trial of the effect of diet on breast cancer assigned women at random to either a normal diet or a low-fat diet. To check that the random assignment did produce comparable groups, we can compare the two groups at the start of the study. Asked if there is a family history of breast cancer: 1276 of the 5964 women in the low-fat group and 1507 of the 7726 women in the control group said "Yes." If the random assignment worked well, there should not be a significant difference in the proportions with a family history of breast cancer. How significant is the observed difference? State: Is there evidence of a difference in the proportion of women with a family history of breast cancer between the treatment and control groups? Plan: Let pi be the proportion for the treatment group, and Pz the proportion for the control group. State the hypotheses for your test. Ha:Pi + P2 Solve: Give the value of the test statistic. Use the calculator. Select an answer ♥ Ho:pi = p2 What is the…
