Critical Thinking: Is the pain medicine Duragesic effective in reducing pain?
Listed below are measures of pain intensity before and after using the drug Duragesic (fentanyl) (based on data from Janssen Pharmaceutical Products, L.P.). The data are listed in order by row, and corresponding measures are from the same subject before and after treatment. For example, the first subject had a measure of 1.2 before treatment and a measure of 0.4 after treatment. Each pair of measurements is from one subject and the intensity of pain was measured using the standard visual analog score. A higher score corresponds to higher pain intensity.
Analyzing the Results
2. Regression Use the given data to find the equation of the regression line. Let the response (y) variable be the pain intensity after treatment. What would be the equation of the regression line for a treatment having absolutely no effect?
