The drug OxyContin is used to treat pain, but it is dangerous because it is addictive and can be lethal. In clinical trials, 278 subjects were treated with OxyContin and 76 of them developed nausea. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of OxyContin users who develop nausea. Type answer as a decimal rounded to 3 decimal places.

Several years ago, 38% of parents with children in grades K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. A recent poll found that 454 of 1,205 parents with children in grades K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. Construct a 90% confidence interval to assess whether this represents evidence that parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed. E Click the icon to view the Confidence Interval Critical Value table. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Ho:p = .38 versus H,: p + 38 (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)

A study investigated ways to prevent staph infections in surgery patients. The researchers examined a random sample of 100 patients admitted to various hospitals for surgery. They found that 53 of these patients tested positive for Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium responsible for most staph infections. Construct a 80% confidence interval for the proportion of all patients admitted for surgery who are carriers of S. aureus. Round your answers to three decimal places, and use four decimal places for any interim calculations. We are 80% confident that the interval ( of all patients admitted for surgery who are carriers of S. aureus. contains the true population proportion p
A clinical trial is planned to compare an experimental medication designed to lower blood pressure to a placebo. Before starting the trial, a pilot study is conducted involving eight participants. The objective of the study is to assess how systolic blood pressure changes over time untreated. Systolic blood pressures are measured at baseline and again 4 weeks later Is there a statistically significant difference in blood pressures over time? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following to receive full credit: 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value.

One scientist wondered if there was a difference in the average daily intake of dairy products between men and women. He took a sample of n1 = 50 adult men and n2 = 50 adult women and recorded their daily intake of dairy products in grams per day. A summary of the sample results is presented in the table. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the average daily intake of dairy products for men and women. Can it be concluded that there is a difference in the average daily intakes for men and women?

A learn-to-type software program claims that it can improve your typing skills. To test the claim and possibly help yourself out, you and six of your friends decide to try the program and see what happens. Use the table below to construct an 80% confidence interval for the true mean change in the typing speeds for people who have completed the typing program. Let Population 1 be the typing speed before taking the program and Population 2 be the typing speed after taking the program. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary.
