Chapter 10.11, Problem 78SE
A carcinogenicity study was conducted to examine the tumor potential of a drug product scheduled for initial testing in humans. A total of 300 rats (150 males and 150 females) was studied for a 6-month period. At the beginning of the study, 100 rats (50 males. 50 females) were randomly assigned to the control group. 1(H) (50 males. 50 females) to the low-dose group, and the remaining 100 (50 males, 50 females) to the high-dose group. On each day of the 6-month period, the rats in the control group received an injection of an inert solution, whereas those in the drug groups received an injection of the solution plus drug. The sample data are shown in the accompanying table.
- a. Conduct a test of whether there is a significant difference in the proportions of rats having one or more tumors for the three treatment groups with α = .05.
- b. Does there appear to be a drug-related problem regarding tumors for this drug product? That is, as the dose is increased, does there appear to be an increase in the proportion of rats with tumors?

A drug company developed a honey-based liquid medicine designed to calm a child's cough at night. To test the drug, 105 children who were ill with an upper respiratory tract infection were randomly selected to
participate in a clinical trial. The children were randomly divided into three groups - one group was given a dosage of the honey drug, the second was given a dosage of liquid DM (an over-the-counter cough
medicine), and the third (control group) received a liquid placebo (no dosage at all). After administering the medicine to their coughing child, parents rated their children's cough diagnosis as either better or worse.
The results are shown in the table below:

In a clinical trial, 780 participants suffering from high blood pressure were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Over a one-month period, the first group
received a low dosage of an experimental drug, the second group received a high dosage of the drug, and the third group received a placebo. The diastolic blood
pressure of each participant was measured at the beginning and at the end of the period and the change in blood pressure was recorded. Identify the experimental
units (subjects).
Dean for student affairs of a small university is worried about students’ expenditure on internet expense during the period study from home since this Covid-19 outbreak. Especially she wants to know whether students of social sciences spend more compared to students from science and technology. As a quick and preliminary study, she collected a sample of 9 students from science and technology and 11 students from social sciences. Total spending for internet is in Rp0000 during the month of April 2029. The results are presented in the following table.
Questions:
1. Explain whether you can or cannot use normal approach to the case.
2. Conduct the test by showing formal steps in hypothesis test (design, decision rule, statistical test, and conclusion) at α = 0.05

- An experiment was conducted to assess the efficacy of spraying oats with Malathion (at 0.25 lb/acre) to control the cereal leaf beetle. Twenty farms in southwest Manitoba were used for the study. Ten farms were assigned at random to the control group (no spray) and the other 10 fields were assigned to the treatment group (spray). At the conclusion of the experiment, the number of beetle larvae per square foot was measured at each farm, and a one-tailed test of significance was performed to determine if Malathion reduced the number of beetles. In which one of the following cases would a Type II error occur? (a) We do not conclude malathion is effective when in fact it was effective. (b) We conclude malathion is effective when in fact it is ineffective. (c) We conclude malathion is effective when in fact it is effective. (d) We do not conclude malathion is effective when in fact it is ineffective. (e) We conclude malathion is neither ineffective nor effective.arrow_forwardOne variety of corn is genetically modified to produce chemicals for defense against predators. The standard corn contains the same standard genotype, but without genetic modification for the chemicals. The two types of corn are then planted in randomly placed adjacent plots across a single field. The amount of predators that are present when the corn has matured are then recorded. The data that was recorded of the predators present among each type are listed. Has genetic alterations decreased the amount of predators for the altered genotype? Normality tests for the populations of both contain a p value less than 0.05. The given alpha is 0.05 Modified Corn (20, 18, 26, 23, 17, 23, 22) Standard Corn (89, 64, 102, 96, 56, 77, 84, 59) use an F test to determine if the variance between the 2 lists are different.

- The impact of a low-calorie diet on laboratory mice's longevity is being investigated by a medical researcher. Twenty mice are split into two groups (E and F) by random. A typical diet is given to Group E, while Group F is given a diet that only contains 70% as many calories as Group E's diet. The length of life (in days) of each mouse over the 36-month trial is documented. Table 2 provides the data that was obtained. The symbol of double star (**) signifies that the mouse was still alive at the end of the investigation.

- The research and development (R&D) department of a paint manufacturer recently developed a new paint product. The developers are concerned the average area covered per gallon will be less for the new paint than for the existing product. To investigate this concern, the R&D department set up a test in which two random samples of paint were selected. The first sample consisted of 25 one-gallon containers of the company's existing product, and the second of 15 one-gallon containers of the new paint. The statistics shown were computed from eachsample and refer to the number of square feet that each gallon will cover. Based on the sample data, what should the developers conclude using a significance level of 0.05? Assume the populations are normally distributed with equal variances.Current Paint New Paint Current Paint New Paint x1 = Current Paint Column 423 sq. feet x2 = New Paint Column 418 sq feet s1 = 21.7 s2 =…arrow_forwardEighteen middle-aged women with platelet readings between 120,000 platelets per microliter and 150,000 platelets per microliter of blood were selected randomly from the population of similar female patients at a large local hospital. Nine of the 18 women were assigned randomly to group A and received a placebo. The other nine women were assigned to group B and received a new platelet drug. After four months, posttreatment platelet readings were taken for all 18 women and were compared with pretreatment readings. The reduction in platelet level (Pretreatment reading - Posttreatment reading) for each woman in the study is shown here. Group A (placebo) increase (in platelets per microliter): 2,000, 5,000, 7,050, 10,125, 12,345, 17,350, 13,250, 12,200, 9,125 Group B (platelet drug) increase (platelets per microliter): 28,450, 23,438, 36,380, 12,450, 16, 100, 21,350, 39,400, 41,000, 14,325 Create and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the placebo and the new drug.arrow_forwardA study claims that the combination of vitamin C with vitamin E is more effective for preventing the flu than vitamin C alone.
