To test the effectiveness of a new drug designed to relieve flu symptoms, 200 patients were randomly selected and divided into two equal groups. One group of 100 patients was given a pill containing the drug while the other group of 100 was given a placebo. What can we conclude about the effectiveness of the drug if 62 of those actually taking the drug felt a beneficial effect while 41 of the patients taking the placebo felt a beneficial effect? Use α = 0.05.
A researcher claims that 30% of individuals who take a particular type of drug will develop side effects. To test this claim, you form a random sample of 264 individuals who are taking this drug, of which 67 developed side effects. Test the researcher's claim at α=0.01.

- Recent studies have shown that adult men suffer from high blood pressure at a lesser rate than do adult women. To test that claim, a research randomly selected 200 of each gender and tested their blood pressure. The results revealed that 49 of the men and 62 of the women suffered from high blood pressure. Can you conclude that the proportion of men with high blood pressure is less than the proportion of women?

- An experiment was conducted to test the effect of a new cholesterol medicine. Fifteen people were treated with medicine X and 15 with medicine Y for a month, then the subjects' cholesterol level was measured. A significance test was conducted at the a = 0.01 level for the difference in the means of the cholesterol levels between medicine X and medicine Y. The test resulted in t = 2.73 and p = 0.003. If the alternative hypothesis in question was Ha: px - μy ‡ 0, where µx equals the mean cholesterol level for subjects taking medicine X and μy equals the mean cholesterol level for subjects taking medicine Y, what conclusion can be drawn? O There is not a significant difference in mean cholesterol level when using medicine X and medicine Y.

A sample of 54 women over the age of 50 used the new cream for 6 months. Of those 54 women, 43 of them reported skin improvement(as judged by a dermatologist). Is this evidence that the cream will improve the skin of more than 60% of women over the age of 50? Test using α=0.05. test statistics z= The final conclustion is A. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that p=0.6. That is, there is not sufficient evidence to reject that the cream can improve the skin of more than 60% of women over 50.B. We can reject the null hypothesis that p=0.6 and accept that p>0.6. That is, the cream can improve the skin of more than 60% of women over 50.arrow_forward3) A medical association claims that less than 20% of adults in the US are regular smokers of tobacco.
