Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 46SE
Endocarditis Kang et al. reported on a randomized trial of early surgery for patients with infective endocarditis (a heart infection). Of the 37 patients assigned to early surgery, 1 had a bad result (died, had an embolism, or had a recurrence of the problem within 6 months). Of the 39 patients with conventional treatment (of whom more than half had surgery later on), 11 had a bad result.
a. Find and compare the sample percentages of those who had a bad result for each group.
b. Create a two-way table with the labels Early Surgery and Conventional across the top.
c. Test the hypothesis that early treatment and a bad result are independent at the 0.05 level.
d. Does the treatment cause the effect? Why or why not?
e. Can you generalize to other people? Why or why not?

Vasectomies and Prostate Cancer. In the United States, approximately 450,000 vasectomies are performed each year. In this surgical procedure for contraception, the tube carrying sperm from the testicles is cut and tied. Several studies have been conducted to analyze the relationship between vasectomies and prostate cancer. The results of one such study by E. Giovannucci et al. appeared in the paper “A Retrospective Cohort Study of Vasectomy and Prostate Cancer in U.S. Men” (Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 269(7), pp. 878–882). Of 21,300 men who had not had a vasectomy, 69 were found to have prostate cancer; of 22,000 men who had had a vasectomy, 113 were found to have prostate cancer.
a. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that men who have had a vasectomy are at greater risk of having prostate cancer? Consider men who had had a vasectomy Population 2.
b. Is this study a designed experiment or an observational study?…
Treatment of patients whose injuries might cause massive blood loss has involved
giving them plasma transfusions after they had been admitted to the emergency
room. Sperry et al. (2018) investigated whether earlier treatment by the first
responder might be more effective. In a randomized control trial, patients with
trauma either did or did not receive earlier plasma transfusion. Of the 220
patients who received early plasma treatment, 52 died while of the 261 who
received standard care, 89 died. Does the earlier treatment of plasma transfusion
seem to be more effective?

In randomized, double-blind clinical trials of a new vaccine, children were randomly divided into two groups. Subjects in group 1 received the new
vaccine while subjects in group 2 received a control vaccine. After the second dose, 125 of 746 subjects in the experimental group (group 1)
experienced fever as a side effect. After the second dose, 82 of 627 of the subjects in the control group (group 2) experienced fever as a side effect.
Does the evidence suggest that a higher proportion of subjects in group 1 experienced fever as a side effect than subjects in group 2 at the a= 0.01 level
of significance?
Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test.

- Aspirin and Cardiovascular Disease. In the article by P. Ridker et al. titled “A Randomized Trial of Low-dose Aspirin in the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease inWomen” (New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 352, pp. 1293–1304), the researchers noted that “We randomly assigned 39,876 initially healthy women 45 years of age or older to receive 100 mg of aspirin or placebo on alternate days and then monitored them for 10 years for a first major cardiovascular event (i.e., nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes).”arrow_forwardLandolt et al. (A-26) examined rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in mothers and fathers. Parents were interviewed 5 to 6 weeks after an accident or a new diagnosis of cancer or diabetes mellitus type I for their child. Twenty-eight of the 175 fathers interviewed and 43 of the 180 mothers interviewed met the criteria for current PTSD.

- Kava is a beverage or extract that is made from Piper methysticum, a plant native to the western Pacific islands. Suppose that, in a randomized comparative experiment to determine if taking kava daily can reduce insomnia, a group of participants with insomnia were randomly assigned to take kava (treatment group) or a placebo (control group). After six weeks, the participants were interviewed to see if they experienced a decrease in insomnia. The table shows the results from the sample. The counts are the number of people in each group who experienced a decrease in insomnia.
