Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 64SE
Smoking Cessation in HIV Patients In a 2018 study reported in The Lancet, Mercie et al. investigated the efficacy and safety of varenicline for smoking cessation in people living with HIV. The study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Of the 123 subjects treated with varenicline, 18 abstained from smoking for the entire 48-week study period. Of the 124 subjects assigned to the placebo group, 8 abstained from smoking for the entire study period.
a. Find the sample percentage of subjects in each group who abstained from smoking for the entire study period.
b. Determine whether varenicline is effective in reducing smoking among HIV patients. Note that this means we should test if the proportion of the varenicline group who abstained from smoking for the entire study period is significantly greater than that of the placebo group. Use a significance level of

Examine the Variables: Carefully review and note the names of all variables in the dataset. Examples of these variables include:
Mileage (mpg)
Number of Cylinders (cyl)
Displacement (disp)
Horsepower (hp)
Research: Google to understand these variables.
Statistical Analysis: Select mpg variable, and perform the following statistical tests. Once you are done with these tests using mpg variable, repeat the same with hp
Mean
Median
First Quartile (Q1)
Second Quartile (Q2)
Third Quartile (Q3)
Fourth Quartile (Q4)
10th Percentile
70th Percentile
Skewness
Kurtosis
Document Your Results:
In RStudio: Before running each statistical test, provide a heading in the format shown at the bottom. “# Mean of mileage – Your name’s command”
In Microsoft Word: Once you've completed all tests, take a screenshot of your results in RStudio and paste it into a Microsoft Word document. Make sure that snapshots are very clear. You will need multiple snapshots. Also transfer these results to the…
