The improved crop varieties are evaluated at farmers fields before their release for a large scale production. The claim made by a chickpea breeder is that, on average, her improved variety produces higher yield of chickpea compared to the local variety grown by farmers in her region. To examine her claim, the improved variety of chickpea was evaluated at 25 randomly selected farmer-fields (farms) in that region. Each field was divided into two parts, one part of the field was randomly assigned to the improved variety to be grown under a crop management practice recommended for this variety, and the other part to the local variety with an ongoing practice followed for it. You may note there were 25 different fields and the two varieties were grown within each of them. The chickpea yields of the two varieties were measured, in kg per hectare, from each of the fields. The following R- code outputs contain the information that you may use to answer the questions. The data vectors,…

A study was conducted to compare the efficacy of a mandibular advancement splint (MAS) and a tongue stabilizing device (TSD) in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Thirty patients (20 male, 10 female) were recruited to the study with fifteen patients being randomly allocated to each treatment group. The efficacy of the treatments were compared using the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). The thirty patients at the commencement of the study had an average AHI of 31.39 with a sample standard deviation of 12.34. After two months the AHI of each patient was again measured. The MAS treatment group experienced an average reduction in AHI of 8.69 with a sample standard deviation of 9.30. The TSD treatment group experienced an average reduction in AHI of 7.80 with a sample standard deviation of 10.65. a)A secondary measure ("response to treatment") was defined as resolution of all symptoms or an improvement in symptoms and ≥ 50% reduction in AHI. In the MAS group 12 patients…

A paper published in the Journal of Dermatology and Venereology reported that nickel allergy more likely to occur in women who report cosmetic dermatitis from using eye shadow. The researcher has taken two samples in their study from a similar population. In the first sample of 131 women with cosmetic dermatitis from using eye shadow, 12 were diagnosed with a nickel allergy. While in the second sample of 250 women with cosmetic dermatitis from using eye shadow, 25 were diagnosed with a nickel allergy. Compute a 95% confidence interval that is a closely related but simpler alternative to Wilson's Method for the first and the second samples for the proportion of women with cosmetic dermatitis from using eye shadow who have a nickel allergy. (i) (ii) Compare the two confidence intervals you compute in (i). (i) Suppose you are informed that the true proportion of women diagnosed with a nickel allergy is 0.12. Explain it refers to which group.
