Chapter 10, Problem 46SE
Multiple Sclerosis Treatment In a 2018 article published in The Lancet, Kappos et al. studied the effect of the drug siponimod in treating patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) using a double-blind, randomized, controlled study. Of the 1099 patients given the drug, 198 experienced a severe adverse outcome. Of the 546 patients given the placebo, 82 experienced a severe adverse outcome.
a. Find the percentage in each group that suffered a severe adverse outcome.
b. Create a two-way table with the treatment labels (drug/placebo) across the top.
c. Test the hypothesis that treatment and severe adverse outcome are associated using a significance level of

Social functioning is the ability for an individual to interact or adapt in a normal or usual way in social environments. Albert et al. (2007) asked if relatives of patients with OCD are as healthy as those in general healthy populations. They measured the social functioning of relatives using a 36-item survey with scores ranging from 0 (worst possible health) to 100 (best possible health). The mean score for the general healthy population was 77.43. Using the sample data, test whether there was a difference.
Scores: 20, 60, 48, 92, 50, 82, 48, 90, 30, 68, 43, 54, 60, 62, 94, 67, 63, 85

What is the distinguishing feature of a case-control study such as this?
An epidemiologist performed a case-control study examining whether tobacco use was associated with oral cancer. The investigator recruited a random sample of 75 adults with
oral cancer and 72 adults without oral cancer. Participants were interviewed and asked about their history of tobacco use.
O Exposure status was assessed, and then the participants were followed up over time to see who developed the outcome.
O The exposure and outcome were measured at the same time, so temporality cannot be established.
O Participants were selected based on disease status, and then exposure status was assessed from the past.
O The investigator randomized participants into exposure groups and then followed them to see who developed the outcome.
Do sports drinks help prevent cramps in endurance sports? At the end of a marathon, officials will ask runners if they drank water or a sports drink during the race, along with whether or not they suffered any cramps. Is this an observational study or experiment?

Each time a child had an upper respiratory tract infection, treatment with either echinacea or a placebo was given for the duration of the illness. One of the outcomes studied was “severity of symptoms.” A severity scale based on four symptoms was monitored and recorded by the parents of subjects for each instance of upper respiratory infection. The peak severity of symptoms in the 337 cases treated with echinacea had a mean score of 6.0 (standard deviation 2.3). The peak severity of symptoms in the placebo group (np = 370) had a mean score of 6.1 (standard deviation 2.4). Test the mean difference for significance using an independent t-test.
