Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 10CT
Zoloft is a drug used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In randomized, double-blind clinical trials, 926 patients diagnosed with OCD were randomly divided into two groups. Subjects in group 1 (experimental group) received 200 milligrams per day (mg/day) of Zoloft, while subjects in group 2 (control group) received a placebo. Of the 553 subjects in the experimental group, 77 experienced dry mouth as a side effect. Of the 373 subjects in the control group, 34 experienced dry mouth as a side effect.
- a. What type of experimental design is this?
- b. What is the response variable?
- c. Do a higher proportion of subjects experience dry mouth who are taking Zoloft versus the proportion taking the placebo? Use the α = 0.05 level of significance.

An experiment was conducted for better understanding of the effectiveness of a particular type of drug for reducing bad cholesterol (LDL) level. The purpose of the experiment was to determine whether different dosages used have significant different outcomes in average LDL reduction. Twenty subjects with LDL at around 250 to 300 mg/dL had participated in the study and were randomly divided into four groups. Each group was given a specific level of dosage of the drug each day for one month, with a control group that only provided with placebo. The reduction in LDL was recorded and showed in the following table. Positive number indicates reduction and negative numbers indicates increasing in DLD. Use statistical software to analyze the data and answer the following question.

Find the percent of women not experiencing any new UTIs in each of the three treatment groups.
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?

- What is an experiment?arrow_forwardKava 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.

- Most cases of cervical cancer are linked to a few strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV). The pharmaceutical company Merck developed a vaccine (Gardisil) against these HPV strains. Worldwide clinical trials followed young women after vaccination or administration of placebo for two to four years for signs of HPV-caused cervical cancer. Based on a sample of 100 women in the Gardisil group, 26% developed cervical cancer, and based on a sample of 100 women in the placebo group, 32% developed cervical cancer. Test the claim that the proportion of women who developed cervical cancer in the Gardisil group is less than the proportion of women who developed cervical cancer in the placebo group at a = 0.05.

Subjects were classified according to whether or not they received an x-ray during their stay in the hospital and were followed from their hospital stay through 2005 for the development of cancer. During the follow-up period, 30 incident cancers occurred in 3,000 children who had received an x-ray, and 5 incident cancers occurred in the 2,000 children who had not received an x-ray during their hospitalization. 1q.
