Newspaper headlines at the time and traditional wisdom in the succeeding decades have held that women and children escaped a sunken ship in greater proportion than men. Here's a table with the relevant data. Do you think that survival was independent of whether the person was male or female? Defend your conclusion.
A. Is there evidence of a significant difference between the proportion of males and females who survived at the 0.005 level of significance? What are the null and alternative hypotheses to test?
B. Are the conditions for inference satisfied?
C. Calculate the test statistic
D. Determine the P-value and interpret the meaning
E. Reject or Fail to Reject and why?
A study is designed to investigate whether there is a difference in response to various treatments in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The outcome is patient’s self-reported effect of treatment. The data are shown on the next page. Is there a significant difference in effect of treatment? Hint: Are severity of symptoms and treatment independent? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Demonstrate the five steps for hypothesis testing and draw a conclusion based on your results. Remember to determine the p-value, if relevant.
