Sexually Transmitted Disease Suppose a clinical trial is conducted to test the efficacy of a new drug, spectinomycin, for treating gonorrhea in females. Forty-eight patients are given a 4-g daily dose of the drug and are seen 1 week later, at which time 6 of the patients still have gonorrhea. USE SALT (a) What is the best point estimate for p, the probability of a failure with the drug? = 0.125 (b) What is a 95% CI for p? (Enter your answer using interval notation. Round your numerical values to three decimal places.) (5.3336, 6.6664) X (c) Suppose we know penicillin G at a daily dose of 4.8 megaunits has a 10% failure rate. What can be said in comparing the two drugs? Since the 10% failure rate for penicillin is within ✔✔✔the bounds of the 95% CI, we can conclude that it is plausible that spectinomycin is equally effective than penicillin G.
