Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 4RE
Clinical Trial of Lipitor Lipitor is the trade name of the drug atorvastatin, which is used to reduce cholesterol in patients. (Until its patent expired in 2011. this was the largest-selling drug in the world, with annual sales of $13 billion.) Adverse reactions have been studied in clinical trials, and the table below summarizes results for infections in patients from different treatment groups (based on data from Parke-Davis). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that getting an infection is independent of the treatment. Does the atorvastatin (Lipitor) treatment appear to have an effect on infections?

Age and obesity are the two strongest risk factors for treatment resistant hypertension (TRH), prompting many doctors to predict that as our population ages and gets heavier, the incidence of this unhealthy condition will increase. Suppose you have a new drug that you think will reduce TRH. Seven patients who have been diagnosed with high blood pressure volunteer for your study. They have their diastolic pressure measured before they take the drug, and after the drug has been administered and has had time to have an effect. The table below shows the result of your study.
Does your new drug reduce blood pressure? Use alpha =.05.
Identify the Independent variable and the dependent variable in the study.
State the Null hypothesis and the alternative hypotheses.
Using APA format, report your findings using the variables in the study.

You are concerned that nausea may be a side effect of Tamiflu, but you cannot just give Tamiflu to patients
with the flu and say that nausea is a side effect if people become nauseous. This is because nausea is common
for people who have the flu. From past studies you know that about 32% of people who get the flu experience
nausea. You collected data on 1970 patients who were taking Tamiflu to relieve symtoms of the flu, and found
that 683 experienced nausea. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of people
who take Tamiflu for the relief of flu symtoms and experience nausea is greater than 32%.

- The glycemic index (GI) is a rating system for foods containing carbohydrates. It shows how quickly each food affects your blood sugar (glucose) level when that food is eaten on its own. A random sample of 33 children were provided with a breakfast of low GI foods on one day and high GI foods on another. The two breakfasts contained the same quantities of carbohydrate, fat and protein. On each day a buffet lunch was provided, and the number of calories eaten at lunchtime were recorded. On the first day the children ate a low GI breakfast and on the second day a high GI breakfast. Let be the true mean of the differences in calorie intake for a high GI and a low GI breakfast, respectively. The researcher wants to conduct inference on to determine whether the kind of breakfast eaten has an effect on mean calorie intake. The differences are calculated as calorie intake after high-GI breakfast minus calorie intake after low-GI breakfast.

This is why doctors and pharmacists routinely ask patients about all the drugs they use, even the ones available over the counter. One study examined the impact of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on the efficacy of the antidepressant citalopram in clinically depressed individuals. Data from a large clinical trial were reviewed, and clinical remission from depressive symptoms was assessed for individuals who had taken NSAIDs concomitantly and those who had not. The findings are given in the table.

A clinical trial examined the effectiveness of Botox for excessive armpit sweating in teenagers aged 12 to 17 years.

One method of monitoring overall cholesterol levels is to calculate your cholesterol ratio (LDL/HDL), in general a cholesterol ratio between 3.5 and 5.0 is considered to be healthy for most adults. Suppose you are a clinical researcher testing the effects of these lifestyle changes on patient cholesterol levels. In order to determine if following these guidelines helps to reduce overall cholesterol, a total of 18 participants (N = 18) with moderate to high cholesterol ratios (i.e., 3.91 to > 5.0) were recruited for a healthy lifestyle study and their cholesterol ratio was calculated three times over a six week period: Week 0 (baseline), Week 3, and Week 6. Using the variables "Week 0", "Week 3", and "Week 6" in the data set, conduct a One-Way, Within Subjects (AKA Repeated Measures) ANOVA, at α = 0.05, to see…arrow_forwardAccording to the CDC, cholesterol levels can be reduced by following a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and reducing the amount of alcohol consumed on a weekly basis.
