Suppose we are asked to construct a list of treatment assignments for patients entering a study comparing different treatments for duodenal ulcer.
Anticipating that 20 patients will be entered in the study and two treatments will be used, construct a list of random-treatment assignments starting in the 28th row of the random-number table (Table 4 in the Appendix).

Find the list of random-treatment assignments using random-number table.
Explanation of Solution
Consider the treatment A and treatment B.
If the random digit is 0 to 4, then the patients are assigned to treatment A.
If the random digit is 5 to 9, then the patients are assigned to treatment B.
The treatment assignments by using 28th row in the random number table are given below:
Patient number | Random digit | Treatment assignment |
1 | 6 | B |
2 | 9 | B |
3 | 6 | B |
4 | 4 | A |
5 | 4 | A |
6 | 3 | A |
7 | 7 | B |
8 | 1 | A |
9 | 9 | B |
10 | 8 | B |
11 | 0 | A |
12 | 0 | A |
13 | 0 | A |
14 | 2 | A |
15 | 8 | B |
16 | 9 | B |
17 | 8 | B |
18 | 1 | A |
19 | 9 | B |
20 | 5 | B |

- A company found that the daily sales revenue of its flagship product follows a normal distribution with a mean of $4500 and a standard deviation of $450. The company defines a "high-sales day" that is, any day with sales exceeding $4800. please provide a step by step on how to get the answers in excel Q: What percentage of days can the company expect to have "high-sales days" or sales greater than $4800? Q: What is the sales revenue threshold for the bottom 10% of days? (please note that 10% refers to the probability/area under bell curve towards the lower tail of bell curve) Provide answers in the yellow cellsarrow_forwardFind the critical value for a left-tailed test using the F distribution with a 0.025, degrees of freedom in the numerator=12, and degrees of freedom in the denominator = 50.

You aim to test whether the actual average daily sales differ significantly from this claimed value. You can provide your answer by inserting a text box and the answer must include: Null hypothesis, Alternative hypothesis, Show answer (output table/summary table), and Conclusion based on the P value.
