Question
A doctor is researching side effects with a new pain medication. A clinical trial including random sample of 340 people who took a new pain relief medication reveals that 23 suffered some side effects. At the .05 level of significance(α), is there evidence that greater than 10% of all patients who take the medication will experience side effects?

- According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.37. Suppose a random sample of 115 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 56 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the a = 0.1 level of significance?

- A clinical trial is conducted comparing a new pain reliever for arthritis to a placebo. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the new treatment or a placebo, and the outcome is pain relief within 30 minutes. The data are shown in Table 7–8.

To test whether this proportion has decreased, 150 students were examined and 58% had finished in 4 years or less. At the 5% level of significance, does it appear the proportion has decreased from its historical level? To determine whether the proportion of students who finish in 4 year or less has statistically significantly decreased, what is the null and alternative hypothesis?arrow_forward
- The U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reported that 77% of all fatally injured automobile drivers were intoxicated. A random sample of 52 records of automobile driver fatalities in a certain county showed that 33 involved an intoxicated driver.

Studies have shown that drivers who use cell phones while operating a motor passenger vehicle increase their risk of an accident. To quantify this risk, the New England Journal of Medicine (January 2, 2014) reported on the risk of a crash (or near crash) for both novice and expert drivers when using a cell phone. In a sample of 371 cases of novices using a cell phone while driving, 24 resulted in a crash (or near crash). In a sample of 1,467 cases of experts using a cell phone while driving. 67 resulted in a crash (or near crash). a).
