In the article “Explaining an Unusual Allergy,” appearing on the Everyday Health Network, Dr. A. Feldweg explained that allergy to sulfites is usually seen in patients with asthma. The typical reaction is a sudden increase in asthma symptoms after eating a food containing sulfites. Studies are performed to estimate the percentage of the nation’s 10 million asthmatics who are allergic to sulfites. In one survey, 38 of 500 randomly selected U.S. asthmatics were found to be allergic to sulfites. Find and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion p of all U.S. asthmatics who are allergic to sulfites.

A phamaceutical company wants to test the effectiveness of a new allergy drug. The company identifies 250 females 30-35 years old who suffer from severe allergies.
The subjects are randomly assigned into two groups. One group is given the new allergy drug and the other is given a placebo that looks exactly like the new allergy
drug. After six months, the subjects' symptoms are studied and compared. Answer parts (a) through (c) below.
O B. The experimental units are the symptoms from the drug. The treatment is the new allergy drug.
O C. The experimental unit is the new allergy drug. The treatments are the severe allergies the patients suffer from.
O D. The experimental units are the 30- to 35-year-old females being given the treatment. The treatment is the new allergy drug.
(b) Identify a potential problem with the experiment design being used and suggest a way to improve it. Choose the correct answer below.

A researcher was interested in the effects of a drug on depression. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of the three groups. Subjects in the control group received a placebo and the subjects in the two treatment groups received either a 0.2 mg or a 0.4 mg dosage of the drug. After several weeks of drug (or placebo) treatment, the researcher measured the subjects' level of depression (a low score indicating greater depression) The following data were obtained.

- Snoqualmie” is a name shared by a waterfall and a tribe of Native Americans. In a study of the cultural importance of the waterfall, two groups of the Snoqualmie tribe were randomly surveyed. One group consisted of Snoqualmie members living less than 25 miles from the waterfall. Another group consisted of Snoqualmie members living more than 25 miles from the waterfall. The researchers asked each member to rate the cultural importance of the waterfall as low, medium, or high. Data from the study are presented in the following table.
