Dosage Calculations. In Exercises 21–26, use the data in the accompanying table, which lists the numbers of correct and wrong dosage amounts calculated by physicians. In a research experiment, one group of physicians was given bottles of epinephrine labeled with a concentration of “1 milligram in 1 milliliter solution,” and another group of physicians was given bottles labeled with a ratio of “1 milliliter of a 1:1000 rotation.” The two labels describe the exact same amount, and the physicians were instructed to administer 0.12 milligrams of epinephrine. The results were reported in The New York Times.

- Using the following data, help me solve questions 18-20. Please and thank youarrow_forwardYou have gathered a group of volunteers who are all in their early 20s. They come from various socioeconomic backgrounds and do not drink wine, but they are all willing to try it for the sake of the experiment. You want to divide them into two groups (control and treatment), and you will monitor their health for four decades. Part A: Which of the following is an acceptable method for dividing the volunteers into groups that will minimize confounding in the long-term results? Put all of the participants under the age of 40 in the control group and all of the participants over the age of 40 in the treatment group. Put all of the participants under the age of 40 in the treatment group and all of the participants over the age of 40 in the control group. O Put all of the men into the treatment group and all of the women into the control group. Put all of the women into the treatment group and all of the men into the control group. Randomly assign each participant to either the treatment…arrow_forwardFind question 3 using the data in question 1.arrow_forward

She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapist to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emilee's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 319 trials, the touch therapist were correct 149 times. Complete parts a through D. A. Given that Emilee used a coin toss to select either her right hand or left hand what proportion of correct response as would be expected if the touch therapist made random guesses? B. Using Emily's sample results what is the best point estimate of the therapists success rate? C. Using Emily's sample results construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of correct responses made by touch therapists.arrow_forwardAccording to an exit poll for an election, 55.1% of the sample size of 819 reported voting for a specific candidate. Is this enough evidence to predict who won? Test that the population proportion who voted for this candidate was 0.50 against the alternative that it differed from 0.50. Complete parts a through d below. OD. The parameter is the number of voters that voted for the candidate. Define the notation for the parameter. OA. p= the number of voters that did not vote for the candidate OB. p= the number of voters that voted for the candidate C. p=population proportion of voters that voted for the candidate D. p=sample proportion of votes for the candidate b. State the hypotheses and check the assumptions for a large-sample test. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: p=0.50; H₂: p0.50 The assumptions for a large-sample test are met. c.

- Twenty five right-handed students were asked to turn a knob (using their right hands) that moved an indicator by screw action. There were two identical instruments, one with a right-hand thread (the knob turns clockwise) and the other with a left-hand thread (the knob turns counterclockwise). The data presented below gives the times (in seconds) each subject took to move the indicator a fixed distance: Obs.# R Obs.# R L L Obs.# R 1 113 8 116 166 22 100 2 105 105 9 75 146 23 89 3 130 133 10 96 123 24 85 4 101 108 11 122 135 25 88 5 138 115 12 103 6 118 170 13 116 7 87 103 14 107 At 1% level of significance, can we conclude that these right-handed students found it easier to use the knobs with a right-hand thread?
