Question
It has been observed that some persons who suffer colitis, again suffer colitis within one year of the first episode. This is due, in part, to damage from the first episode. The performance of a new drug designed to prevent a second episode is to be tested for its effectiveness in preventing a second episode. In order to do this two groups of people suffering a first episode are selected. There are 55 people in the first group and this group will be administered the new drug. There are 45 people in the second group and this group will be administered a placebo. After one year, 11% of the first group has a second episode and 9% of the second group has a second episode. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine, at the significance level 0.1, whether there is reason to believe that the true percentage of those in the first group who suffer a second episode is different from the true percentage of those in the second group who suffer a second episode? Select the [Alternative Hypothesis, Value of the Test Statistic].
a) [p1 ≠ p2 , 0.4302]
b) [p1 > p2 , 0.3302]
c) [p1 ≠ p2 , 0.3302]
d) [p1 = p2 , 0.3302]
e) [p1 < p2 , 0.3302]
f) None of the above

A random sample of 18 subjects agreed to test the program. All subjects counted the number of cigarettes they usually smoke a day; then they counted the number of cigarettes smoked the day after hypnosis. (Note: It usually takes several weeks for the subject to stop smoking completely, and the method does not work for everyone.) The results follow.

The following are known: ● Hondas failed at a rate of 1 in 344. ● Fords failed at a rate of 1 in 80. ● Audis failed at a rate of 1 in 27. Suppose Hondas account for 20% of sales at a particular dealer, Audis 30%, and Fords 50%. Assuming the engine failure rates apply to these vehicles. Determine the probability that a randomly selected vehicle from this dealer will experience engine failure.arrow_forwardA psychologist has developed a mental alertness test. She wishes to study the effects (if any) of type of food consumed on mental alertness. Twenty-one volunteers were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups were told to eat the amount they usually eat for lunch at noon. At 2:00 P.M., all subjects were given the alertness test. Group A had a low-fat lunch with no red meat, lots of vegetables, carbohydrates, and fiber. Group B had a high-fat lunch with red meat, vegetable oils, and low fiber. The only drink for both groups was water. The test scores are shown below.

- Imagine you work for a large company that sells a variety of cleaning supplies deigned to prevent the spread of viruses. You decide to investigate what the best method for preventing the spread of viruses is, if only one method is used. You design experiments with the following groups: hand sanitizer only, hand washing without soap, hand washing with soap, along with a control group. Each group has 181 observations during testing, beginning with a certain amount of the viruses present before treatment is applied. The amount of germs is being measured. You find a sum of squares between treatments of 578.59, along with a sum of squares error of 5022.05. Using this information, what is the F-statistic of your analysis?arrow_forwardIn August and September 2005 , Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused extraordinary flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana. Many homes were severely damaged or destroyed, and of those that survived, many required extensive cleaning. It was thought that cleaning flood-damaged homes might present a health hazard due to the large amounts of mold present in many of the homes. In a sample of 350 residents of Orleans Parish who had participated in the cleaning of one or more homes, 50 had experienced symptoms of wheezing, and in a sample of 176 residents who had not participated in the cleaning, 42 reported wheezing symptoms (numbers read from a graph). Can you conclude that there is a difference between the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who cleaned flood-damaged homes and those who did not participate in the cleaning? Let p1 denote the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who had cleaned flood-damaged homes and p2 denote the proportion of…arrow_forward
