Answer to Problem 25.33E

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who have used drugs more than one time in a given month to stay awake is 0.173695 to 0.227894.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The data shows the association between the sleep quality classification and the use of over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription (RX) stimulant medication more than once a month to help keep them awake.

Calculation:

Let p^ denote the proportion of students who have used drugs more than one time in a given month to stay awake.

p^=Number of students who have used the drugsTotal number of students=174871=0.1998

Thus, the proportion of students who have used drugs more than one time in a given month to stay awake is 0.1998.

Software procedure:

Step-by-step procedure for constructing 95% confidence interval for the given proportion is shown below:

  • Click on Stat, Basic statistics and 1-proportion.
  • Choose Summarized data, under Number of events enter 174, under Number of trials enter 871.
  • Click on options, choose 95% confidence interval.
  • Click ok.

Output using MINITAB is given below:

Conclusion:

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who have used drugs more than one time in a given month to stay awake is 0.173695 to 0.227894.

Answer to Problem 25.33E

The conditional distribution for the sleep quality of the students who have used the drugs and those who haven’t used the drugs is given below:

Sleep Quality Conditional distributionof sleep quality for students who have used drugs Conditional distribution of sleep quality for students who haven’t used drugs
Optimal 12.2 87.8
Borderline 22.2 77.8
Poor 25.5 74.5

Output obtained from MINITAB is given below:

The students who have consumed drugs have less amount of optimal sleep than students who haven’t consumed drugs. Thus, consuming drugs helps the students to stay awake.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The conditional distribution for the sleep quality of the students who have used the drugs is calculated as follows:

(Conditional distribution ofsleep quality for the students who have used the drugs)=(Number of students under each category ofsleep quality given that drugs have been used)(Total number of  students undereach category of sleep quality)

The conditional distribution for the sleep quality of the students who haven’t used the drugs is calculated as follows:

(Conditional distribution ofsleep quality for the students who haven't used the drugs)=(Number of students under each category ofsleep quality given that drugs haven't been used)(Total number of  students undereach category of sleep quality)

The two conditional distributions are given below:

Sleep Quality Conditional distributionof sleep quality for students who have used drugs Conditional distribution of sleep quality for students who haven’t used drugs
Optimal 37303×100=0.122×100=12.2 266303×100=0.878×100=87.8
Borderline 53239×100=0.222×100=22.2 186239×100=0.778×100=77.8
Poor 84329×100=0.255×100=25.5 245329×100=0.745×100=74.5

Software procedure:

Step-by-step procedure for constructing a bar graph for comparing the two conditional distributions is given below:

  • Click on Graph, select Bar Chart.
  • Under Bar represent: select Values from table.
  • In Two-way table select Cluster and then click ok.
  • In Graph variables, enter the columns of Yes and No.
  • In Row labels, select Sleep quality.
  • Under Table Arrangement, select Rows are outermost categories and columns are innermost.
  • Click ok.

Interpretation:

The bar graph is constructed for the conditional distributions of sleep quality for students who have used drugs and students who haven’t used the drugs.

The bars are separated into three sets; the bars to the leftmost side represent the “Optimal” sleep quality, the bars placed in the middle represent the “Borderline” sleep quality, and the bars placed to the rightmost side represent the “Poor” sleep quality.

Justification:

From the conditional distributions and the bar graph, it can be observed that students who have consumed drugs have less amount of optimal sleep than students who haven’t consumed drugs.

Thus, consuming drugs help the students to stay awake.

To state: The hypotheses used for testing.

To give: The P-value and the conclusion.

Answer to Problem 25.33E

There is a significant difference in the sleep quality between the students who have used the drugs and the students who don’t use drugs.

The hypotheses used for testing is given below:

H0: There is no relationship between sleep quality and drug usage.

Ha: There is a relationship between sleep quality and drug usage.

The P-value is 0.000.

The drugs help the students to stay awake.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The claim is to test whether there is any significant difference between the sleep quality of the students who have used the drugs and students who haven’t used the drugs.

Cell frequency for using Chi-square test:

  • When at most 20% of the cell frequencies are less than 5
  • If all the individual frequencies are 1 or more than 1.
  • All the expected frequencies must be 5 or greater than 5.

The hypotheses used for testing is given below:

H0: There is no relationship between sleep quality and drug usage.

Ha: There is a relationship between sleep quality and drug usage.

Software procedure:

Step-by-step procedure for calculating the chi-square test statistic is given below:

  • Click on Stat, select Tables and then click on Chi-square Test of Association.
  • Select Summarized data in a two-way table.
  • Under Columns containing the table: enter the columns of Optimal, Borderline and Poor.
  • Under Labels for the table (optional), select Drug Usage in the Rows: box and type Sleep Quality for the Column category name.
  • Under statistics, click on Chi-square test.
  • Click on ok.

Output obtained from MINITAB is given below:

Basic Practice of Statistics (Instructor's), Chapter 25, Problem 25.33E , additional homework tip  3

Thus, the test statistic is 18.504 and the P-value is 0.000.

Since all the expected frequencies are greater than 5,the usage of chi-square test is appropriate.

Conclusion:

The P-value is 0.000 and the level of significance is 0.05.

Here, the P-value is lesser than the level of significance.

Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected.

Thus, there is strong evidence that there is a relationship between the sleep quality and drug usage.

Hence, students who have used the drugs have a low level of optimal sleep thanthe students who didn’t use the drugs. Thus, drugs help the students to stay awake.
