Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 50SE
Pneumonia Vaccine for Young Children A study reported by Griffin et al. compared the rate of pneumonia between 1997 and 1999 before pneumonia vaccine (PCV7) was introduced and between 2007 and 2009 after pneumonia vaccine was introduced. Read the excerpts from the abstract, and answer the question that follows it. (Source: Griffin et al., “U.S. hospitalizations for pneumonia after a decade of pneumococcal vaccination,” New England Journal of Medicine, vol. 369 [July 11, 201]: 155-163)
We estimated annual rates of hospitalization for pneumonia from any cause using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database. . . . Average annual rates of pneumoniarelated hospitalizations from 1997 through 1999 (before the introduction of PCV7) and from 2007 through 2009 (well after its introduction) were used to estimate annual declines in hospitalizations due to pneumonia.
The annual rate of hospitalization for pneumonia among children younger than 2 years of age declined by 551.1 per 100,000 children . . . which translates to 47,000 fewer hospitalizations annually than expected on the basis of the rates before PCV7 was introduced.
Results for other age groups were similar. Does this show that pneumonia vaccine caused the decrease in pneumonia that occurred? Explain.

A pharmaceutical company is testing a new drug for a rare disease. In a clinical trial, 1000 patients
with the disease were randomly assigned to receive either the new drug or a placebo. After one
year, it was found that 60% of the patients who received the new drug experienced improvement,
compared to only 40% of those who received the placebo. Is the difference in improvement rates
statistically significant? Provide your rationale.

In a pilot study, a company's new cholesterol-reducing drug outperforms the currently available drug. If the data provide convincing evi- dence that the mean cholesterol reduction with the new drug is more than 10 milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dl) greater than with the current drug, the company will begin the expensive process of mass-producing the new drug. For the 14 subjects who were assigned at random to the current drug, the mean cholesterol reduction was 54.1 mg/dl with a standard deviation of 11.93 mg/dl. For the 15 sub- jects who were randomly assigned to the new drug, the mean cholesterol reduction was 68.7 mg/dl with a standard deviation of 13.3 mg/dl. Graphs of the data reveal no outliers or strong skewness. Carry out an appropriate significance test. What conclusion would you draw? (Note that the null hypothesis is not Ho: μμ2=0.)
