Professor Chase from the University of Kansas has been working on a new cholesterol medication that is being called CholestoCleaner. The university is now conducting studies to determine if there is a possible side effect of sore joints. Placebo (Population Rate) To help determine the usual rate of sore joints, the research team gave a placebo (sugar pill) to 2017 subjects. Of those 2017 subjects, 4 of them developed sore joints.  CholestoCleaner Trial The CholestoCleaner drug was given to 2622 subjects. Of those 2622 subjects, 19 of them developed sore joints. Preliminary Math If we consider the general population of people that don't use CholestoCleaner, what is the probability that they will develop sore joints?   (Enter your answer as a fraction.) If you had a sample size of 2622 that did NOT use CholestoCleaner, how many would expect to develop sore joints? When 2622 subjects DID use the drug, there were 19 subjects that developed sore joints. Does it seem as though sore joints may be a side effect on first glance?   Yes, the number of people effected seems significantly higher when they are using the drug. Yes, the number of people effected seems significantly smaller when they are using the drug. No, the number of people effect seems significantly higher when using the drug. No, the number of people effect seems significantly lower when using the drug.

Question

Professor Chase from the University of Kansas has been working on a new cholesterol medication that is being called CholestoCleaner. The university is now conducting studies to determine if there is a possible side effect of sore joints.

Placebo (Population Rate)

To help determine the usual rate of sore joints, the research team gave a placebo (sugar pill) to 2017 subjects. Of those 2017 subjects, 4 of them developed sore joints. 

CholestoCleaner Trial

The CholestoCleaner drug was given to 2622 subjects. Of those 2622 subjects, 19 of them developed sore joints.

Preliminary Math

If we consider the general population of people that don't use CholestoCleaner, what is the probability that they will develop sore joints?   (Enter your answer as a fraction.)

If you had a sample size of 2622 that did NOT use CholestoCleaner, how many would expect to develop sore joints?

When 2622 subjects DID use the drug, there were 19 subjects that developed sore joints. Does it seem as though sore joints may be a side effect on first glance?

 

  • Yes, the number of people effected seems significantly higher when they are using the drug.
  • Yes, the number of people effected seems significantly smaller when they are using the drug.
  • No, the number of people effect seems significantly higher when using the drug.
