Textbook Question
Chapter 12.2, Problem 11AYU
Social Well-Being and Obesity The Gallup Organization conducted a survey in 2014 asking individuals questions pertaining to social well-being such as strength of relationship with spouse, partner, or closest friend, making time for trips or vacations, and having someone who encourages them to be healthy. Social well-being scores were determined based on answers to these questions and used to categorize individuals as thriving, struggling, or suffering in their social well-being. In addition, body mass index (BMI) was determined based on height and weight of the individual. This allowed for classification as obese, overweight, normal weight, or underweight. The data in the following
- a. Researchers wanted to determine whether the sample data suggest there is an association between weight classification and social well-being. Explain why this data should be analyzed using a chi-square test for independence.
- b. Do the sample data suggest that weight classification and social well-being are related?
- c. Draw a conditional bar graph of the data by weight classification.
- d. Write some general conclusions based on the results from parts (b) and (c).

Since no existing treatment exists, they have planned a one-armstudy. They wish to test whether the success rate of the drug is better than 50%, whichthey have defined as the null success rate. Preliminary testing has estimated the successrate of the drug at 55%. The investigators are eager to get the drug into production andwould like to plan for 9 interim analyses (10 analyzes in total) of the data. Assume thesignificance level is 5% and power is 90%.Besides, draw a combined boundary plot (OBF, POC, and HP)
