Question

A study published in JAMA in 2004 examined past results of other studies on bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery is done to replace the size of the stomach in various ways. It is typically used on only obese patients, and one the traditional form of the surgery, gastric bypass has a 1% mortality (death) rate caused by the surgery. However, in the studies reporting on the effects of this surgery on Type II diabetes, 1417 of 1846 diabetic patients recovered completely from diabetes after surgery. These patients no longer need medication like insulin (which is injected into the skin) or pills to help manage blood sugar.

In a study released a decade later, the percentage of patients who recover from diabetes has increased to 80%. W will determine whether this is a significant change from the 2004 data.  The sample size in 2014 was 2000.  

(a) What is the percentage of patients who recovered from diabetes in 2014?  What is the number of patients in the sample that have recovered?

(b) What is the 90%, 95% and 99% Confidence Interval for the percentage of recovery from diabetes (2014) data? (to four decimal places for the proportion - two decimal places if you give your answer as a percentage).

(c) Construct the 95% confidence interval for the difference of the two proportions.  Does the interval appear to indicate a significant difference in the two intervals. (Remember when that a confidence interval for the difference of two proportions contains a zero - it is permissible that there is no difference between the two.)   Do the results change at the 90% confidence interval?

(d)Test the claim that by performing a hypothesis test (at the 5% level of significance) that the proportion of patients is greater in the second study.  State your null and alternative hypothesis.  Use technology to calculate your p-value.  Do these results change at difference levels of significance?
