Textbook Question
Chapter 5.2, Problem 27E
Studies have shown that people who suffer sudden cardiac arrest have a better chance of survival if a defibrillator shock is administered very soon after cardiac arrest. How is survival rate related to the time between when cardiac arrest occurs and when the defibrillator shock is delivered? This question is addressed in the paper “Improving Survival from Sudden Cardiac Arrest: The Role of Home Defibrillators” (by J. K. Stross, University of Michigan, February 2002; available at heartstarthome.com).
The accompanying data give y = Survival rate (percent) and x = Mean call-to-shock time (minutes) for a cardiac rehabilitation center (in which cardiac arrests occurred while victims were hospitalized and so the call-to-shock time tended to be short) and for four communities of different sizes:
- a. Construct a
scatterplot for these data. How would you describe the relationship between mean call-to-shock time and survival rate? - b. Find the equation of the least-squares line.
- c. Use the least-squares line to predict survival rate for a community with a mean call-to-shock time of 10 minutes.

In an observational study it was found that people who had received the flu shot this year had better blood pressure readings, on average, than people who did not. Can it be claimed that the flu shot is the cause of the lower overall blood pressure? Why or why not?
Patients immobilized for a substantial amount of time can develop deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot in a leg or pelvis vein. DVT can have serious adverse health effects and can be difficult to diagnose. On its website, drug manufacturer Pfizer reports the outcome of a study looking at the effectiveness of the drug Fragmin (dalteparin) in preventing DVT in immobilized patients. Of the 1518 randomly chosen immobilized patients given Fragmin, 42 experienced a complication from DVT. Of the 1473 randomly chosen immobilized patients given a placebo, 73 experienced a complication from DVT.
Compute the proportion (risk) of patients experiencing DVT complications for immobilized patients treated with Fragmin. (Enter the proportion with 4 decimal places. DO NOT enter the percent.)
Arthritis is a very commonly occurring affliction. It is a major cause of lost work time and often results in serious disability. Of the many types of arthritis, the most common type is osteoarthritis. This condition is frequently due to wear and tear in the joints and is more likely to be found in people over 50. It is very painful in the weight-bearing joints, such as the knees and hips. Cartilage wears away on the bone ends, causing pain and swelling. Osteoarthritis may develop after an injury such as a bone fracture or a joint dislocation. To reduce the amount of time osteoarthritis patients are absent from work, it is important for them to have effective pain relief. An experiment was conducted to compare the effectiveness of three new analgesics: A1, A2, and A3. A clinic evaluated a large group of patients and identified 45 patients with a moderate level of pain. Fifteen of the 45 persons were then randomly assigned to one of the three analgesics. The patients were then…

- Patients immobilized for a substantial amount of time can de flop deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot in a leg or pelvis vein. DVT can have serious adverse health effects and can be difficult to diagnose. On its website, drug manufacturer Pfizer reports the outcome of a study looking at the effectiveness of the drug Fragmin (dalteparin) compared with that of a placebo in preventing DVT in immobilized patients. In a double-blind, multinational study, severely immobilized patients were randomly assigned to receive daily subcutaneous injections of either Fragmin or a placebo for 12 to 14 days and were followed for 90 days. The results, in number of patients experiencing a complication from DVT (including death), are summarized in the table below.

- A sleep researcher is assessing the impact of melatonin supplements on time to fall asleep for individuals with insomnia. She recruited 30 participants with insomnia and assigned 14 of them to take melatonin before sleeping. The researcher then recorded time to fall asleep (in minutes) for each participant. The researcher's hypothesis was that participants in the melatonin group would fall asleep faster than participants in the control group. The data collected are displayed below together with some descriptive statistics. Melatonin- 72, 59, 76, 64, 40, 51, 39, 69, 69, 78, 66, 100, 43, 45,59,64,51 M = 62.21 SD = 17.33 Control- 52, 80, 113, 111, 103, 96, 64, 56, 112, 102, 100, 102, 101, 58, 117, 101,80,111,96,56,102 M = 91.75 SD = 22.16 a) Does the researcher have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at an alpha level of .01?
