You are in charge of assessing two different Malaria vaccines, to determine if one should be preferred over the other. Overall, you know that the base rate of infection for Malaria in these populations is 20%, or p=0.2. For the first (Vaccine A), a trial of 1200 people observed that 80 came down with Malaria after having been vaccinated. For the second (Vaccine B), in a trial of 1600 people, 84 people came down with the disease. So, using statistical arguments, make the case for what appropriate policy should be. Answer the following questions:1) is their strong evidence that both vaccines work? 2) should one vaccine be favored over the other? Why or why not?

A health officer is trying to study the malaria situation of Zambia. From the records of seasonal blood survey (SBS) results he came to understand that the proportion of people having malaria in Zambia was 3.8% in 2015. The size of the sample considered was 15,000. He also realized that during the year that followed (2016), blood samples were taken from 10,000 randomly selected persons. The result of the 2016 seasonal blood survey showed that 200 persons were positive for malaria. Help the Health officer in testing the hypothesis that the malaria situation of 2016 did not show any significant difference from that of 2015 (take the 5% level of significance).
You are concerned that nausea may be a side effect of Tamiflu, but you cannot just give Tamiflu to patients with the flu and say that nausea is a side effect if people become nauseous. This is because nausea is common for people who have the flu. From past studies you know that about 30% of people who get the flu experience nausea. You collected data on 1744 patients who were taking Tamiflu to relieve symtoms of the flu, and found that 572 experienced nausea. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of people who take Tamiflu for the relief of flu symtoms and experience nausea is greater than 30%.a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses?�0: �1: b) What type of hypothesis test should you conduct (left-, right-, or two-tailed)? left-tailed right-tailed two-tailed c) Identify the appropriate significance level.d) Calculate your test statistic.

In a study, the rate of success of initial vaccination among 330 subjects receiving the 1:10 dilution of the vaccinia virus was 97.1%. The investigators wanted to know if the 97.1% success rate was greater than 95%. Use a = 0.05.
The owner of a small firm has just purchased a personal computer, which she expects will serve her for the next two years The owner has been told that she "must" buy a surge suppressor to provide protection for her new hardware against possible surges or variations in the electrical current, which have the capacity to damage the computer The amount of damage to the computer depends on the strength of the surge. It has been estimated that there is a 1% chance of incurring 350 dollar damage, 4% chance of incurring 200 dollar damage, and 10% chance of incurring 125 dollar damage from a surge within the next two years. An inexpensive suppressor, which would provide protection for only one surge, can be purchased. How much should the owner be willing to pay if she makes decisions on the basis of expected value?

whether cross-sectional, retrospective, or prospective is used. Rats with cancer are divided into two groups. One group receives 5 mg f mediation that is thought to fight cancer, and the other receives 10 mg. After 2 years, the spread of the cancer is measured.
You are concerned that nausea may be a side effect of Tamiflu, but you cannot just give Tamiflu to patients with the flu and say that nausea is a side effect if people become nauseous. This is because nausea is common for people who have the flu. From past studies you know that about 35% of people who get the flu experience nausea. You collected data on 1855 patients who were taking Tamiflu to relieve symtoms of the flu, and found that 705 experienced nausea. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of people who take Tamiflu for the relief of flu symtoms and experience nausea is greater than 35%. Calculate your test statistic (use ˆpp^ rounded to 4 decimal places). Round your test statistic to 4 decimal places. Calculate your p-value and round to 4 decimal places.
Karrie studied the effects of coffee drinking and subsequent development of pancreatic cancer. She got the following results: Risk Ratio (RR) = 0.35 p-value = 0.065 What does RR of 0.35 tells you? A. There is higher risk for pancreatic cancer among coffee drinkers B. RR is not enough to estimate whether there is risk or not C. Coffee consumption is associated with pancreatic cancer D. There is lesser risk for pancreatic cancer among coffee drinkers
