Researchers conducted a study to compare the effectiveness of two pain medications on patients who had been complaining of a certain kind of joint pain. They were interested in the difference in the proportions of patients for who these medications were effective. They gave the medication A to a random sample of 71 patients, and gave medication B to another sample of 66 patients. Based on the sample data, they got a point estimate of 0.059 with a standard error of 0.019.

During the 1990s, the fatality rate for lung cancer was 80 per 100,000 people. After the turn of the century and the establishment of newer treatments and adjustment in public health advertising, a random sample of 10,000 people exhibits only six deaths due to lung cancer. Test at the 0.05 significance level whether that data are proof of a reduced fatality rate for lung cancer. b. Make the decision rule. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. Evaluate the test statistic. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
In a small grocery, 23% of the bottled products were sold while 63% of the canned goods were not. If there were 345 bottled products and 330 canned goods, is there a significant difference between the proportion of sales of bottled products and canned goods? Test at 0.01 level of significance.

A chemist measures the haptoglobin concentrations (in grams per liter) in the blood of eight healthy adults. Following are the values: 1.82 3.32 1.07 1.27 0.49 3.79 0.15 1.98 At the 2% significance level, test the claim that the mean haptoglobin concentration in adults is less than two grams per liter. What type of error could you have made in your decision?
A repeated-measures ANOVA produces SSbetween treatments = 25 and MSbetween treatments = 5. In this analysis, how many treatment conditions are being compared? Select one: a. 2 b. 6 c. 5 d. 4
A researcher intends to estimate the effect of a drug on the scores of human subjects performing a task of psychomotor coordination. The members of a random sample of 9 subjects were given the drug prior to testing. The mean score in this group was 9.07, and the sample variance was 17.68. An independent random sample of 10 subjects was used as a control group and given a placebo prior to testing. The mean score in this control group was 15.21, and the sample variance was 27.48. Assuming that the population distributions are normal with equal variances, find a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the population mean scores The confidence interval is<, -,O (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
An environmental group conducted a study to determine whether crows in a certain region were ingesting food containing unhealthy levels of lead. A biologist classified lead levels greater than 6.0 parts per million (ppm) as unhealthy and that the distribution of the population of crows was Normally distributed. The lead levels of a random sample of 23 crows in the region were measured and recorded. The mean lead level of the 23 crows in the sample was 4.90 ppm and the standard deviation was 1.12 ppm. B.A previous study of crows showed that the population standard deviation was at 2.6 ppm. What minimum sample size would be required to construct a 90 percent confidence interval to have a margin of error within 0.03?
30 people are selected randomly from a certain town and their mean age is 32.2. Assume that the population standarddeviation is 8.5.a. Check assumptions and choose an appropriate interval procedure.b. Find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean age, μ, of everyone in the town by using the formula.c. Interpret the confidence interval.
A research firm regularly conducts customer satisfaction surveys for an amusement park. A survey of 200 randomly selected park visitors on a weekday in May concluded the average age of visitors to the park was 39 years. When the survey was repeated with 200 randomly selected park visitors on a Saturday in May, the average age of visitors to the park was determined to be 17 years. Does the information represents a quantitative or qualitative variable? What is the age of the visitor? Does the visitor have a season pass?
