The drug Eliquis (apixaban) is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials,among 5924 patients treated with Eliquis, 153 developed the adverse reaction of nausea (based on datafrom Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.). Construct a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of adversereactions.

It is given that Sample size n = 5924 Number of patients with adverse reaction, X = 153 Confidence…

In a trial of 350 patients who received 10-mg doses of a drug daily, 49 reported headache as a side effect. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of patients who receive the drug and report headache as a side effect.
A poll was conducted to determine the popularity of a 3D game creation software that was targeted to be launched in three months. Online interviews with 1200 young adults were conducted which revealed that 45% said they would purchase the new software. The margin of error was ±3 percentage points. What is the needed sample size to obtain a 96% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of the targeted young adults who will purchase the new software by allowing the same level of margin of error?
We have developed a new drug used to reduce fever and want to test its efficacy. Ten ER patients who are running a fever agree to take the new drug instead of the traditional treatment. Their temperatures are taken before the drug is administered and 30 minutes after taking the drug. The results are recorded in the Excel file below. Use the data to construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the mean change in temperatures of patients after taking this drug using Excel. Be sure to include any explanation necessary along with a sentence that explains what the interval means.

In clinical trials of Nasonex, 750 randomly selected patients are randomly divided intotwo groups. The patients in group 1 receive Nasonex while the patients in group 2 receive a placebo. Of the 374 patients in the experimental group 120 reported experiencing a headache. Of the 376 patients in the control group, 64 reported experiencing a headache. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the difference in the two population proportions.

A study was conducted that measured the total brain volume (TBV) (in mm³) of patients that had schizophrenia and patients that are considered normal. The first table contains the TBV of the non- schizophrenic patients and the second table contains the TBV of schizophrenia patients.

A company that manufactures baseball bats believes that its new bat will allow players to hit the ball 30 feet farther than its current model. The owner hires a professional baseball player known for hitting home runs to hit ten balls with each bat and he measures the distance each ball is hit to test the company's claim. The results of the batting experiment are shown in the following table. Construct a 90 % confidence interval for the true difference between the mean distance hit with the new model and the mean distance hit with the older model. Assume that the variances of the two populations are the same. Let Population 1 be the distances of balls hit with the new model baseball bat and Population 2 be the distances of balls hit with the old model. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary. Hitting Distance (in Feet) New Model Old Model 215 234 202 298 224 294 211 246 215 268 248 211 255 226 228 284 247 221 214 259
In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol,44 subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes(beforeminus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 5.6 and a standard deviation of 17.5. Construct a 99%confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment. What does the confidence interval suggest about the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL cholesterol? What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean mu? mg/dLless than muless than mg/dL (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Researchers want to test a new hand exercise plan for arthritis patients to see if they have improved flexibility. They recruited 110 patients with arthritis in their hands and randomly assigned them to one of two treatment groups: group i took their regular medicine and did the new hand exercises; and group 2 only took medicine. After one month, 42 of the 55 in group 1 improved in their flexibility, and 37 of the 55 in group 2 improved their flexibility. Based on the 95% confidence interval (-0.076, 0.258), is there convincing evidence of a difference in the proportion of patients like these who would show improvement in flexibility if they did the new hand exercises along with taking the medicine versus just taking the medicine? v to believe there va difference in the proportion of patients like these who would show improvement in flexibility if they did the new hand exercises along with taking the medicine versus just taking the medicine.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission regulates products sold for use with children. An investigator is tasked with determining whether a male child will get sick after being exposed to a certain brand of house paint than a female child. Data was collected that on 1854 children between the ages one and four, all of whom were exposed to the same brand of house paint. 985 were boys, while 869 were girls. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions of male and female children, ages one to four, who will get sick. Round to four decimal places.With % confidence, it can be concluded that the difference in proportions of between male and female children, ages one to four, who get sick after being exposed to this brand of house paint is (p1 - p2) is between BLANK and BLANK .
