ts) Before a new drug is put on the market, it goes through several clinical phases to ensure that it is safe for broad consumption. The point of this preventative measure is to not send out a bunch of experimental drugs out in the market that could potentially harm some fraction of the population even though it might be exactly what some other part of it needs. Your pharmaceutical company is in the further phases of trials and is now exploring how their new candidate drug performs across different age groups, measured in terms of number of side effects. The data are as follows. At alpha .05, what can you say about the new drug? Does it perform better or worse in one of these age groups compared to others? After you conduct your test, explain your results in simple terms. Teenagers Young Adults Adults Older Adults 1 0221 210 11 40301

Par, Inc.Par, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of golf equipment. Par's manager believes that the company's market share will increase with the introduction of a highly durable, cut-resistant golf ball. To this end, Par's research group has been testing a new coating for the balls, designed to give resistance to cuts and provide a product with greater durability. Testing done with the coating has been promising.One of the researchers expressed concern about the effect of the new coating on the ball's travel distance. Par wants the new cut-resistant model to offer a travel distance comparable to today's golf balls. To compare the travel distance of the two types of balls, 40 of each model were subjected to distance tests, which were carried out with a ball-throwing machine in order that the difference between the average flight distances between the two models could be attributed to its different peculiarities. The results of the tests, with the distances expressed to the nearest yard,…
You are tasked to design a prevention program to target one of two different infectious diseases. You only have funding to target one of them, so you must choose wisely. The first infectious disease (Disease A) has a case fatality rate of close to 75%, but a very low cause-specific mortality rate. The other (Disease B) has a case fatality rate less than 0.1%, but a relatively high cause-specific mortality rate. Which do you choose? Why
A new drug is being proposed for the treatment of migraine headaches. Unfortunately, some users in early tests of the drug have reported mild nausea as a side effect. The FDA will reject the drug if it thinks that more than 15% of the population would suffer from this side effect. In an experiment to test this side effect, 400 people who suffer from migraine headaches receive the new drug and 80 of them report nausea as a side effect. Determine if the FDA should reject the drug using 5% level of significance. Provide the test statistic, critical value, and a conclusion in the box below.
Many regions in North and South Carolina and Georgia have experienced rapid population growth over the last 10 years. It is expected that the growth will continue over the next 10 years. This has motivated many of the large grocery store chains to build new stores in the region. The Kelley’s Super Grocery Stores Inc. chain is no exception. The director of planning for Kelley’s Super Grocery Stores wants to study adding more stores in this region. He believes there are two main factors that indicate the amount families spend on groceries. The first is their income and the other is the number of people in the family. The director gathered the following sample information. Family Food Income Size 1 $ 5.04 $ 73.98 4 2 4.08 54.90 2 3 5.76 94.14 4 4 3.48 52.02 1 5 4.20 65.70 2 6 4.80 53.64 4 7 4.32 79.74 3 8 5.04 68.58 4 9 6.12 165.60 5 10 3.24 64.80 1 11 4.80…
You are on placement in a GP practice which holds a nurse-led asthma clinic once a week. The nurse practitioner in charge of the clinic tells you that asthma affects around 11% of the Australian population, and results in around 40,000 hospital admissions each year. She also tells you that the common pharmacological treatments can have long-term side effects, so she is keen to promote holistic methods to assist patients in controlling their asthma. You are interested to know whether diet can have an effect on asthma, and decide to find out. Construct a searchable clinical question using the PICO formula, identifying the PICO elements clearly.
PLE collects a variety of data from special studies, many of which are related to the quality of its products. The company collects data about functional test performance of its mowers after assembly; results from the past 30 days are given in the worksheet Mower Test. In addition, many in-process measurements are taken to ensure that manufacturing processes remain in control and can produce according to design specifications. The worksheet Blade Weight shows 350 measurements of blade weights taken from the manufacturing process that produces mower blades during the most recent shift. Elizabeth Burke has asked you to study these data from an analytics perspective. Drawing upon your experience, you have developed a number of questions: For the mower test data, what distribution might be appropriate to model the failure of an individual mower? What fraction of mowers fails the functional performance test using all the mower test data? What is the probability of having x failures in the…
Refer to Exercise 3. In the last 50 samples, there were a total of 622 defective items. The largest number of defectives in any sample was 24, while the smallest number was 6. Is this enough information to determine whether the process was out of control at any time during the last 50 samples? If so, state whether or not the process was out of control. If not, state what additional information would be required to make the determination.
Beryllium is an extremely lightweight metal that is used in many industries, such as aerospace and electronics. Long-term exposure to beryllium can cause people to become sensitized. Once an individual is sensitized, continued exposure can result in chronic beryllium disease, which involves scarring of the lungs. In a study of the effects of exposure to beryllium, workers were categorized by their duration of exposure (in years) and by their disease status (diseased, sensitized, or normal). The results were as follows: Duration of Exposure <1 1 to <5 ≥5 Diseased 14 13 18 Sensitized 11 20 15 Normal 78 140 209 Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude? State the null and alternate hypotheses.
Imagine you work for a large company that sells a variety of cleaning supplies deigned to prevent the spread of viruses. You decide to investigate what the best method for preventing the spread of viruses is, if only one method is used. You design experiments with the following groups: hand sanitizer only, hand washing without soap, hand washing with soap, along with a control group. Each group has 181 observations during testing, beginning with a certain amount of the viruses present before treatment is applied. The amount of germs is being measured. You find a sum of squares between treatments of 578.59, along with a sum of squares error of 5022.05. Using this information, what is the F-statistic of your analysis?
Overhead Door (OD) Corporation’s founder, C. G. Johnson, invented the upward-lifting garage door in 1921 and the electric garage door opener in 1926. Since then OD has been a leading supplier of commercial, industrial, and residential garage doors sold through a nationwide network of more than 450 authorized distributors. They have built a solid reputation as a premier door supplier, commanding 15 % share of the market. Suppose that customers assess door quality first in terms of the ease of operation, followed by its durability. The quality improvement team (QIT) might then assign an engineering team to determine the factors that contribute to these two main problems. Smooth operation of a garage door is a critical quality characteristic that affects both problems: If a door is too heavy, it’s difficult and unsafe to balance and operate; if it’s too light, it tends to buckle and break down frequently or may not close properly. Suppose the design engineers determine that a standard…
