Practical versus Statistical Significance In clinical trials for treatment of a skin disorder, 642 of 2105 patients receiving the current standard treatment were cured of the disorder and 697 of 2115 patients receiving a new proposed treatment were cured of the disorder.
- a. Does the new procedure cure a higher proportion of patients at the α = 0.05 level of significance?
- b. Do you think that the difference in success rates is practically significant? What factors might influence your decision?

Are seatbelts effective at saving lives? We wish to examine whether or not the use of seatbelts reduces
fatalities at the a = 0.01 level of significance. Let pN represent the proportion of non-seatbelt wearing
passengers who were involved in a crash and died and py represent the proportion of seatbelt wearing
passengers who were involved in a crash and died.
NOTE: The data used in this study were obtained through observational study...no experiment was
conducted!
Which would be correct hypotheses for this test?
O Ho:PN = pY, H1:PN > pY
Ho: PN = pY, H,:PN Py
In a random sample of 321 non-seatbelt wearing passengers involved in a car crash, 30 were killed. In a
random sample of 492 seatbelt wearing passengers involved in a car crash, 13 were killed.
Find the test statistic (2 decimal places):
Give the P-value (4 decimal places - if less than 0.001 answer 0):
Which is the correct result:
Reject the Null Hypothesis
O Do not Reject the Null Hypothesis

A group of researchers wants to know whether men (population 1) are more likely than women
(population 2) to contract a novel coronavirus. They surveyed two random samples of 490 men
and 480 women who were tested and found that 52 men and 91 women in the samples tested
positive.
Can you conclude that the proportion of positive tests among men is less than the proportion of
positive tests among women? Use level of significance 5%.

- (True or False) A clinical trial is conducted to compare an experimental medication to placebo to reduce the symptoms of asthma. Two hundred participants are enrolled in the study and randomized to receive either the experimental medication or placebo. The primary outcome is self-reported reduction of symptoms. Among 50 participants who receive the experimental medication, 30 report a reduction of symptoms as compared to 15 participants of 50 assigned to the placebo. The 95% CI for the relative risk of participants reporting a reduction of symptoms between the experimental and placebo groups is between 1.529 and 8.012.arrow_forwardAccording to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumer complaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%?

Accept HA Enter letter corresponding to correct answer. (ix) Select the statement that most correctly interprets the result of this test: A.

Insulin and diet A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association examined people to see if they showed any signs of IRS (insulin resistance syndrome) involving major risk factors for Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Among 102 subjects who consumed dairy products more than 35 times per week, 24 were identified with IRS. In comparison, IRS was identified in 85 of 190 individuals with the lowest dairy consumption, fewer than 10 times per week. a) Is this strong evidence that IRS risk is different in people who frequently consume dairy products than in those who do not? b) Does this prove that dairy consumption influences the development of IRS?
