Question
Hyperhidrosis is a stressful medical condition characterized by chronic excessive sweating. Botox was
approved for treatment of hyperhidrosis in adults in 2004. A clinical trial examined the effectiveness of
Botox for excessive armpit sweating in teenagers aged 12 to 17 years. Participants received either a Botox
injection or a placebo injection (a simple saline solution) and were examined four weeks later to see if
their sweating had been reduced. Here are the study's findings:
Botox
Placebo
Total
Reduced
Confidence Interval:
70
68
138
Not Reduced
30
132
162
Total
100
200
300
Construct a 80% confidence interval for p₁ P2 where P1 denotes the proportion of teenagers who
experienced a reduction in sweating in the Botox group and på denotes the proportion of teenagers who
experienced a reduction in sweating in the placebo group. Round your answers to three decimal places, and
use four decimal places for any interim calculations.
We are 80% confident that there Select an answer a difference in the proportion of teenagers with
