Side effects of Avandia - Rosiglitazone is the active ingredient in the controversial type 2 diabetes medicine Avandia and has been linked to an
increased risk of serious cardiovascular problems such as stroke, heart failure, and death. A common alternative treatment is pioglitazone, the active
ingredient in a diabetes medicine called Actos. In a nationwide retrospective observational study of 227,571 Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 years or
older, it was found that 2,593 of the 67,593 patients using rosiglitazone and 5,386 of the 159,978 using pioglitazone had serious cardiovascular
problems. The data is summarized in the contingency table below.

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, 24 %
developed cervical cancer, and based on a sample of 100 women in the placebo group, 34 % 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 = 0.10. Round
your answers to three decimal places, and round any interim calculations to four decimal places.
Fill in the hypotheses below where p₁ denotes the proportion of women who developed cervical cancer in
the Gardisil group and p2 denotes the proportion of women who developed cervical…

- Ginkgo for Dementia. The herb ginkgo biloba is commonly used as a treatment to prevent dementia. In a study of the effectiveness of this treatment, 1545 elderly subjects were given ginkgo and 1524 elderly subjects were given a placebo. those in the ginkgo group, 246 later developed dementia, and among those in the placebo group, 277 later developed dementia ( based on data from " Ginkgo Biloba for Prevention of Dementia," by DeKosky et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 300No. 19).

The study involved 205 patients who were given either a treatment consisting of a combination of folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6 or a placebo for 6 months. Explain why a placebo group was used in this experiment. Explain why it would be important for the researchers to have assigned the 205 subjects to the two groups (vitamin and placebo) at random.arrow_forward
- As men age, their testosterone levels gradually decrease. This may cause a reduction in energy, an increase in fat, and other undesirable changes. Do testosterone supplements reverse some of these effects? A study in the Netherlands assigned 237 men aged 60 to 80 with low or low-normal testosterone levels to either a testosterone supplement or a placebo. Why is it necessary to include a control group in this experiment? Every experiment needs a control group in order to make proper comparisons between treatments. A control group is necessary to balance the effects of other variables among the treatment groups. A control group is necessary so any differences in the effects of the treatments can be distinguished from chance differences between the groups. A control group helps avoid confounding and reduces variability in the response variable. A control group is used to provide a baseline for comparing the effects of other treatments.arrow_forwardIn a study of 301 Hispanic women living in San Antonia, Texas, one variable of interest was the percentage of subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG). IFG refers to a metabolic stage intermediate between normal glucose homeostasis and diabetes. In the study, 24 women were classified in the IFG stage. The article cites population estimates for IFG among Hispanic women in Texas as 6.3%. Is there sufficient evidence to indicate the population of Hispanic women in San Antonio has a prevalence of IFG higher than 6.3%? Use 95% confidence level and the p -value method to form your conclusion. Choose the correct null and alternative hypothesis.arrow_forwardIn a study of 301 Hispanic women living in San Antonia, Texas, one variable of interest was the percentage of subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG).

- "Does ginkgo improve memory?" The law allows marketers of herbs and other natural substances to make health claims that are not supported by evidence. Brands of ginkgo extract claim to "improve memory and concentration." A randomized experiment found some statistically significant evidence for such effects. The subjects were 250 healthy volunteers over 65 years old. They were randomly assigned to take ginkgo or a placebo pill (a dummy pill that looks and tastes the same). All the subjects took a battery of tests for learning and memory before treatment started and again after six weeks. a). The article said the study was double-blind. What does this mean in the context of this study? Be very specific on who's being blinded and explain why they should be blinded. b). You suspect physical fitness and mental fitness go hand-in-hand.

In this surgical procedure for contraception, the tube carrying sperm from the testicles is cut and tied. Several studies have been conducted to analyze the relationship between vasectomies and prostate cancer. The results of one such study by E. Giovannucci et al. appeared in the paper “A Retrospective Cohort Study of Vasectomy and Prostate Cancer in U.S. Men” (Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 269(7), pp. 878–882). Of 21,300 men who had not had a vasectomy, 69 were found to have prostate cancer; of 22,000 men who had had a vasectomy, 113 were found to have prostate cancer. a. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that men who have had a vasectomy are at greater risk of having prostate cancer?

More than 1 million heart patients each year undergo an angioplasty. The ben- efits of an angioplasty were challenged in a study of 2,287 patients (2007 Annual Conference of the American College of Cardiology, New Orleans). All the patients had substantial blockage of the arteries but were medically stable. All were treated with medication such as aspirin and beta-blockers. However, half the patients were ran- domly assigned to get an angioplasty and half were not. After 5 years, the researchers found that 211 of the 1,145 patients in the angioplasty group had subsequent heart attacks compared with 202 of 1,142 patients in the medica- tion-only group. Do you agree with the study's conclusion, "There was no significant difference in the rate of heart attacks for the two groups"? Support your answer with a 95% confidence interval.arrow_forward
