Chapter 11, Problem 4RE
Clinical Trial of Lipitor Lipitor is the trade name of the drug atorvastatin, which is used to reduce cholesterol in patients. (Until its patent expired in 2011. this was the largest-selling drug in the world, with annual sales of $13 billion.) Adverse reactions have been studied in clinical trials, and the table below summarizes results for infections in patients from different treatment groups (based on data from Parke-Davis). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that getting an infection is independent of the treatment. Does the atorvastatin (Lipitor) treatment appear to have an effect on infections?

Age and obesity are the two strongest risk factors for treatment resistant hypertension (TRH), prompting many doctors to predict that as our population ages and gets heavier, the incidence of this unhealthy condition will increase. Suppose you have a new drug that you think will reduce TRH. Seven patients who have been diagnosed with high blood pressure volunteer for your study. They have their diastolic pressure measured before they take the drug, and after the drug has been administered and has had time to have an effect. The table below shows the result of your study.
Does your new drug reduce blood pressure? Use alpha =.05.
Identify the Independent variable and the dependent variable in the study.
State the Null hypothesis and the alternative hypotheses.
Using APA format, report your findings using the variables in the study.

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 32% of people who get the flu experience
nausea. You collected data on 1970 patients who were taking Tamiflu to relieve symtoms of the flu, and found
that 683 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 32%.

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%.

- Recent research indicates that the effectiveness of antidepressant medication is directly related to the severity of the depression (Khan, Brodhead, Kolts & Brown, 2005). Based on pretreatment depression scores, patients were divided into four groups based on their level of depression. After receiving the antidepressant medication, depression scores were measured again and the amount of improvement was recorded for each patient. The following data are similar to the results of the study. (see image #1) This is the summary table for the ANOVA test: S.S. d.f. M.S.
