Antiretrovirals to Prevent HIV A study conducted in Uganda and Kenya looked at heterosexual couples in which one of the partners was HIV-positive and the other was not. The person in each couple who was not HIV-positive was randomly assigned to one of three study regimens: tenofovir (TDF), combination tenofovir-emtricitabine (TDF-FTC), or placebo and was followed for up to 36 months. Seventeen of the 1584 people assigned to TDF became positive for HIV, as did 13 of the 1579 assigned to TDF-FTC and 52 of the 1584 assigned to the placebo.
a. Find the percentage in each group in the sample that became HIV positive, and compare these percentages.
b. Create a two-way table with the treatment labels across the top.
c. Test the hypothesis that treatment and HIV status are associated using a significance level of 0.05.

Cocaine addiction is very hard to break. Even among addicts trying hard to break the addiction, relapse is common. (A relapse is when a person trying to break out of the addiction fails and uses cocaine again.) A study is conducted to investigate the effectiveness of two drugs, desipramine and lithium, in the treatment of cocaine addiction. The subjects in the six-week study were cocaine addicts seeking treatment. The 72 subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups (desipramine, lithium, or a placebo, with 24 subjects in each group) and the study was double-blind.

When a police officer responds to a call for help in a case of spousal abuse, what should the officer do? A
randomized controlled experiment in Charlotte, North Carolina, studied three police responses to spousal abuse:
advise and possibly separate the couple, issue a citation to the offender, and arrest the offender. The effectiveness
of the three responses was determined by re-arrest rates. The table below shows these rates.

A study is testing the effectiveness of a new allergy medication. Sixty people who reported they experience allergies were randomly assigned to one of two groups: one with the new medication, and another with a placebo. After two weeks, the subjects were surveyed by technicians to determine their level of allergic symptoms.
Which of the following would benefit this experiment the most?
A. This experiment should be double blind. Neither the subject nor the technician should know which group is receiving the new medication and which is receiving the placebo. This method would control for the placebo effect and prevent any effect on the response.
B. This experiment should be single blind. The subjects do not know which treatment they are receiving to control for the placebo effect, but the technicians need to know which group received which treatment.
C. This experiment should be single blind. The subjects know which treatment they are receiving but the technicians do not know which…

- 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.

A study was done on children (6 months to 18 years of age) who had (nonlethal) scorpion stings. Researchers wanted to know the effectiveness of a new anti-venonm.

Identify the population for the study. b. Identify the sample for the study. (HINT: See #1) c. Was this an observational study or a controlled experiment? Explain how you know. d. Assuming the rest of the study was well-designed, use your answers to discuss whether it would be reasonable to conclude that the new anti-venom is effective at treating nonlethal scorpion stings in children.
