Treatment of patients whose injuries might cause massive blood loss has involvedgiving them plasma transfusions after they had been admitted to the emergencyroom. Sperry et al. (2018) investigated whether earlier treatment by the firstresponder might be more effective. In a randomized control trial, patients withtrauma either did or did not receive earlier plasma transfusion. Of the 220patients who received early plasma treatment, 52 died while of the 261 whoreceived standard care, 89 died.

In an observational study it was found that people who had received the flu shot this year had better blood pressure readings, on average, than people who did not. Can it be claimed that the flu shot is the cause of the lower overall blood pressure? Why or why not?
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the effect of the herbal remedy Echinacea purpurea in treating upper respiratory tract infections in 2- to 11-year olds. Each time a child had an upper respiratory tract infection, treatment with either echinacea or a placebo was given for the duration of the illness. One of the outcomes studied was “severity of symptoms.” A severity scale based on four symptoms was monitored and recorded by the parents of subjects for each instance of upper respiratory infection. The peak severity of symptoms in the 337 cases treated with echinacea had a mean score of 6.0 (standard deviation 2.3). The peak severity of symptoms in the placebo group (np = 370) had a mean score of 6.1 (standard deviation 2.4). Test the mean difference for significance using an independent t-test.

Most alpine skiers and snowboarders do not use helmets. Do helmetsreduce the risk of head injuries? A study in Norway compared skiers and snowboarders who suffered head injuries with a control group who were not injured. Of 578 injured subjects, 96 had worn a helmet. Of the 2992 in the control group, 656 wore helmets. Is helmet use less common among skiers and snowboarders who have head injuries?
In clinical trials of a medication, 2055 subjects were divided into two groups. The 1536 subjects in group 1 received the medication. The 519 in group 2 received a placebo. Of the 1536 subjects in group 1, 57 experienced dizziness as a side effect. In group 2, 13 experienced dizziness as a side effect. To test whether the proportion experiencing dizziness in group 1 is greater than that in group 2, the researchers entered the data into statistical software and obtained the following results.

Individuals who have experienced a stroke are at an increased risk of having another stroke. Prevention is particularly important for high-risk populations. The Second European Stroke Prevention Study asked whether daily doses of an anti-blood- clotting agent, such as aspirin or dipyridamole, would help prevent strokes among patients who had just experienced a first stroke. Volunteer patients were randomly assigned to one of four treatment options: placebo, aspirin, Dipy., Both drugs. Researchers then recorded the patients who had another stroke and specifically if they died from that second stroke or not. What are the hypotheses to determine if there is there a relationship between treatment and death from second stroke? Ho: Treatment type and death from second stroke are independent from one another. Ha: Treatment type and death from second stroke are NOT independent from one another. Ho: Treatment type and death from second stroke are NOT independent from one another. Ha: Treatment…

A clinical trial is conducted comparing a new pain reliever for arthritis to a placebo. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the new treatment or a placebo and the outcome is pain relief within 30 minutes. Of the 200 participants who received the new medication, 75 reported pain relief, while 60 out of the 200 participants who received the placebo reported pain relief. Is there a significant difference in the proportions of patients reporting pain relief? 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.
A study was conducted to determine if the performance of a certain type of surgery on young horses had any effect on certain kinds of blood cell types in the animal. Fluid samples were taken from each of six foals before and after surgery. The samples were analyzed for the number of postoperative white blood cell (WBC) leukocytes. A preoperative measure of WVBC leukocytes was also measured, with the accompanying results. Use a paired sample t-test to determine if there is a significant change in WBC leukocytes with the surgery.

The drug OxyContin (oxycodone) is used to treat pain, but it is dangerous because it is addictive and can be lethal. In clinical trials, 203 subjects were treated with OxyContin and 103 of them developed nausea (based on data from Purdue Pharma L.P.). Use a 1% significance level to test the claim that the proportion of OxyContin users that develop nausea is different from 50%.

Homechooling has become very popular in the United States, and many colleges try to attract students from this group. Evidence suggests that approximately 90% of all homeschooled children attend college. To check this claim, a random sample of 208 homeschooled children was obtained, and 180 of them were found to have attended college. The researcher wishes to determine whether the proportion of homeschool children who attend college is different from 0.90. Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. Make sure to state and check all conditions and state your conclusion in context.
