Chapter 11.1, Problem 8BSC
In Exercises 5–20, conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic and the P-value and for critical value, and state the conclusion.
8. Bias in Clinical Trials? Researchers investigated the issue of race and equality of access to clinical trials. The following table shows the population distribution and the numbers of participants in clinical trials involving lung cancer (based on data from “Participation in Cancer Clinical Trials,” by Murthy, Krumholz, and Gross, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 291, No. 22). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the distribution of clinical trial participants fits well with the population distribution. Is there a race/ethnic group that appears to be very underrepresented?

Smoking, Gender, and Body Temperature The table below lists body temperatures obtained from randomly selected subjects (based on Data Set 3 “Body Temperatures” in Appendix B). Using a 0.05 significance level, test for an interaction between gender and smoking, test for an effect from gender, and test for an effect from smoking. What do you conclude?
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur most frequently in planting and cutting sports such as basketball, soccer, and volleyball. A sports medicine researcher wants to test if female athletes are more likely to have an ACL injury than males. He surveyed 50 collegiate programs that had both men’s and woman’s volleyball and asked them how many grade 3 ACL tears they had during the past season. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference between groups?
A power analysis is a calculation used to estimate the smallest sample size needed for an experiment, given a required significance level, statistical power, and effect size. It helps to determine if a result from an experiment or survey is due to chance, or if it is genuine and significant.
Think of an experiment or a survey that you have conducted or will conduct in your field of interest and use it to discuss the following questions:
1. Describe the importance of power analysis in an experiment.
2. How will you determine the appropriate significance level for a power analysis?
3. Explain, in your own words, how you will conduct a power analysis in your experiment or survey.
