In randomized, double-blind clinical trials of a new vaccine, rats were randomly divided into two groups. Subjects ingroup 1 received the new vaccine while subjects in group 2 received a control vaccine. After the second dose, 107 of676 subjects in the experimental group (group 1) experienced fever as a side effect. After the second dose, 64 of 557of the subjects in the control group (group 2) experienced fever as a side effect.

Migraine and Acupuncture: A migraine is a particularly painful type of headache, which patients sometimes wish to treat with acupuncture. To determine whether acupuncture relieves migraine pain, researchers conducted a randomized controlled study where 164 patients diagnosed with migraine headaches were randomly assigned to one of two groups: treatment or control. 70 patients in the treatment group received acupuncture that is specifically designed to treat migraines. 94 patients in the control group received placebo acupuncture (needle insertion at non-acupoint locations). 24 hours after patients received acupuncture, they were asked if they were pain free. Results are summarized in the contingency table below. Test to see if migraine pain relief is dependent on receiving acupuncture. Use a = 0.05.

Trichotillomania is a psychiatric illness that causes its victims to have an irresistible compulsion to pull their own hair. Two drugs were compared as treatments for trichotillomania in a study involving 13 women. Each women took clomipramine during one time period and desipramine during another time period in a double-blind experiment. Scores on a trichotillomania-impairment scale, in which high scores indicate greater impairment, were measured on each women during time period. The average of the 13 measurements for clomipramine was 6.2; the average of the 13 measurements for desipramine as 4.2. (a) A paired t test was used to test whether the mean difference between these two drugs is 0, resulting in a test statistics t∗ = 2.47. Find the sample standard deviation Sd. (b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference between the two drugs and give the conclusion.
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.

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…
ester Hollar is vice president for human resources for a large manufacturing company. In recent years, he has noticed an increase in absenteeism that he thinks is related to the general health of the employees. Four years ago, in an attempt to improve the situation, he began a fitness program in which employees exercise during their lunch hour. To evaluate the program, he selected a random sample of eight participants and found the number of days each was absent in the six months before the exercise program began and in the six months following the exercise program. Below are the results. Employee Before After 1 6 5 2 6 2 3 7 1 4 7 3 5 4 3 6 3 6 7 5 3 8 6 7 At the 0.05 significance level, can he conclude that the number of absences has declined?

In a study on the effect of an oral rinse on plaque buildup on teeth, sixteen people whose teeth were thoroughly cleaned and polished were randomly assigned to two groups of eight subjects each. Both groups were assigned to use oral rinses (no brushing) for a 2-week period. Group 1 used a rinse that contained an antiplaque agent. Group 2, the control group, received a similar rinse except that the rinse contained no antiplaque agent. A measure of plaque buildup was recorded at 14 days with means and standard deviations for the two groups shown in the table. Control Group Antiplaque Group Sample Size 8 8.

To determine whether acupuncture relieves migraine pain, researchers conducted a randomized controlled study where 151 patients diagnosed with migraine headaches were randomly assigned to one of two groups: treatment or control. 66 patients in the treatment group received acupuncture that is specifically designed to treat migraines. 85 patients in the control group received placebo acupuncture (needle insertion at non-acupoint locations). 24 hours after patients received acupuncture, they were asked if they were pain free.

A pharmaceutical company has developed a new drug called Antisubcillin to treat substance use disorder. They have just completed an experiment assessing the safety of the drug. To test safety, 100 rats were given 20 mg of Antisubcillin and 100 rats were given a placebo. The study was conducted as a double-blind controlled study and so the researchers did not know which rats were receiving the drug and which were receiving the placebo. The number of negative side effects displayed by each rat over the course of 8 weeks was recorded. Which statistical test should be used to analyze these data? z test one-sample t test independent samples t test dependent samples t test

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…
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? Determine the P-value for this hypothesis test. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Interpret the P-value. If the population proportions are one would expect a sample difference proportion the one observed in about out of 1000 repetitions of this experiment. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) State the conclusion for this hypothesis test. A. Reject Ho.…
