Use the sample data and confidence level given below to complete parts (a) through (d). A drug is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials, among 4338 patients treated with the drug,141 developed the adverse reaction of nausea. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of adverse reactions.

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.

During the 1990s, the fatality rate for lung cancer was 80 per 100,000 people. After the turn of the century and the establishment of newer treatments and adjustment in public health advertising, a random sample of 10,000 people exhibits only six deaths due to lung cancer. Test at the 0.05 significance level whether that data are proof of a reduced fatality rate for lung cancer. b. Make the decision rule. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. Evaluate the test statistic. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Find the sample size, n, needed to estimate the percentage of adults who have consulted fortune tellers. Use a 0.07 margin of error, use a confidence level of 90%, and use results from a prior poll suggesting that 14% of adults have consulted fortune tellers.Question content area bottomPart 1n=enter your response here (Round up to the nearest integer.)
An article reported a survey of patients with Parkinson's disease. Of 161 patients who said they exercised regularly, 77 reported failing in the previous six months. Of 94 patients who said they did not exercise regularly, 48 reported falling in the previous six months. Can you conclude the proportion of patients who fall is less for those who exercise than for those who do not? Use the significance level of 0.05. Type the Computed Testing.
A chemist measures the haptoglobin concentrations (in grams per liter) in the blood of eight healthy adults. Following are the values: 1.82 3.32 1.07 1.27 0.49 3.79 0.15 1.98 At the 2% significance level, test the claim that the mean haptoglobin concentration in adults is less than two grams per liter. What type of error could you have made in your decision?

You measure 38 textbooks' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 58 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 3.9 ounces. Based on this, construct a 90% confidence interval for the true population mean textbook weight .
In a poll, 1100 adults in a region were asked about their online vs. in-store clothes shopping. One finding was that 44% of respondents never clothes-shop online.

In a sample of 500 Canadians, it was found that 400 people preferred apple products. In a sample of 700 Americans it was found that 600 preferred apple products. Is the proportion Canadians who prefer apple products less than Americans. 1. Construct 95% confidence interval for difference of proportions. 2. From the confidence interval, do you think that the proportion of Canadians who prefer apple products is different from Americans.
Sam is the manager of a used clothing store. He wants to estimate the average amount a customer spends per visit. A random sample of 70 customers’ receipts gave a mean of = $7.10 with a standard deviation s = $2.30. Find a 99% confidence interval for the average amount spent by all customers. Interpret your findings.
You measure 31 backpacks' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 79 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 3.8 ounces. Based on this, construct a 95% confidence interval for the true population mean backpack weight.
A statistician changes her level of significance from .001 to .05. What impact will this change have on her risk of making a Type I and Type II error? Is the change in the level of significance a good decision? Why or why not?
