A sleep disorder specialist wants to test the effectiveness of a new drug that is reported to increase the number of hours of sleep patients get during the night. To do so, the specialist randomly selects nine patients and records the number of hours of sleep each gets with and without the new drug. The results of the two-night study are listed below. Using this data, find the 90% confidence interval for the true difference in hours of sleep between the patients using and not using the new drug. Assume that the hours of sleep are normally distributed for the population of patients both before and after taking the new drug. Patient Hours of sleep without the drug Hours of sleep with the new drug 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 5.4 5.4 2.2 3.7 3.4 5.5 2.6 4.2 4.2 8.1 6.5 3.2 5.3 4.5 8 5.1 5.3 6.4 Step 3 of 4: Calculate the margin of error to be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to six decimal places. Copy Data

A new screening test for Lyme disease is developed for use in the general population. The sensitivity and specificity of the new test are 60% and 70%, respectively. Five hundred people are screened at a clinic during the first year the new test is implemented. Assume the true prevalence of Lyme disease among clinic attendees is 10%. Calculate the predictive value of a positive test.

Identifying individuals with a high risk of Alzheimer's disease usually involves a long series of cognitive tests. However, researchers have developed a 7-Minute Screen, which is a quick and easy way to accomplish the same goal. The question is whether the 7-Minute Screen is as effective as the complete series of tests. To address this question, Ijuin et al. (2008) administered both tests to a group of patients and compared the results. The following data represent results similar to those obtained in the study.    7-Minute Screen Cognitive Series 3 11 8 19 10 22 8 20 4 14 7 13 4 9 5 20 14 25 Which statistical test would you select: Answer    H0: Answer H1: Answer What is the coefficient that indicates the strength of the relationship? Answer =Answer What is the standard error? Answer What is the appropriate 95% CI?  [ Answer , Answer ] What is the d-effect size? Answer What is the t-observed? Answer What is the actual p-value? Answer THREE decimal places…

It has been found that 25.1% of men (Group 1) 20 years and older suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure) and 33.9% of women (Group 2) are hypertensive. A random sample of 164 of each gender was selected from recent hospital records, and the following results were obtained. Can you conclude that a higher percentage of women have high blood pressure? Use =0.05. Men: 42 patients had high blood pressure Women: 52 patients had high blood pressure   Required: Test Value Only the final answer should be rounded-off to TWO decimal places.

In a study of 301 Hispanic women living in San Antonia, Texas, one variable of interest was the percentage of subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG). IFG refers to a metabolic stage intermediate between normal glucose homeostasis and diabetes. In the study, 24 women were classified in the IFG stage. The article cites population estimates for IFG among Hispanic women in Texas as 6.3%. Is there sufficient evidence to indicate the population of Hispanic women in San Antonio has a prevalence of IFG higher than 6.3%? Use 95% confidence level and the p -value method to form your conclusion. Choose the correct null and alternative hypothesis.

Does buttered toast fall face down? Data was collected to test this. 40 slices of toast (each with butter on one side) were dropped (from the same height). 24 slices (60%) landed buttered side down. We would like to use the results of this study to determine if there is statistical evidence that toast tends to land buttered side down more than 50% of the time.

(OPHTHALMOLOGY) The following data are from a study on Botox injections. Patients received a high-dose injection in one eye (experimental treatment = treatment E) and a low-dose injection in the other eye (control treatment = treatment C). Patients were asked to rate the level of pain in each eye on a 1–10 scale, with higher scores indicating more pain. The assignment of treatments to eyes was randomized. The subjects came back over several visits. Data from the last visit are given in the following table:  1. Which of the following is the correct test to conduct given the situation above? 2. The hypotheses are: 3. What is the level of significance? 4. What is the computed test statistic? Hint: Use (mean of "Pain in E eye") minus (mean of "Pain in C eye") 5. What is the correct decision based on the p-value or critical value method?

A personal trainer wanted to test the effectiveness of two different workout routines. She took a random sample of 70 of her clients and, in a random order, had them complete one of the two routines for two weeks. Then, after a one-month waiting period, she asked them to come back and do the other routine for two weeks. After each two-week period of the exercise routines, she measured their performance on a physical fitness aptitude test. She found the average difference in aptitude scores between the two routines for each client was 30.4 with a standard error of 3.2. What would be her 85% confidence interval for the average difference in the effectiveness of the two routines? (3 decimal places) (  ,  )
