Chapter 8: Q33 (page 373)

Interpreting Power Chantix (varenicline) tablets are used as an aid to help people stop smoking. In a clinical trial, 129 subjects were treated with Chantix twice a day for 12 weeks, and 16 subjects experienced abdominal pain (based on data from Pfizer, Inc.). If someone claims that more than 8% of Chantix users experience abdominal pain, that claim is supported with a hypothesis test conducted with a 0.05 significance level. Using 0.18 as an alternative value of p, the power of the test is 0.96. Interpret this value of the power of the test.

Short Answer

Expert verified

When the true proportion of Chantix users who suffer from abdominal pain is equal to 0.18, there is a 96% chance of making the right conclusion about supporting the claim that the proportion of Chantix users who suffer from abdominal pain is more than 8%.

Step by step solution

01

 Given information 

It is claimed that more than 8% of Chantix tablet users experience abdominal pain. The claim is supported at a 0.05 level of significance.

The alternative value of p=0.18 and the power of the test is equal to 0.96.

02

 Hypotheses 

The following hypotheses are noted for the given claim:

Null hypothesis: The proportion of Chantix users who experience abdominal pain is equal to 0.08.

That is, H0:p=0.08.

Alternative hypothesis: The proportion of Chantix users who experience abdominal pain is more than 0.08.

That is, HA:p>0.08.

It is mentioned that the claim of more than 8% or a proportion of 0.08 of Chantix users who suffered from abdominal pain is supported at a 5% level of significance. Thus, the null hypothesis is false here.

03

Power of the test

The value of the power of the test gives the probability value of rejecting a false null hypothesis. It stands for making the right conclusion of rejecting the null hypothesis that is not true.

An alternate value of the proportion is equal to 0.18. Also, the null hypothesis is false.

The power of the test has a value equal to 0.96.

This means that there is a 96% chance of rejecting the false null hypothesis that the proportion of Chantix tablet users who suffer from abdominal pain is equal to 0.08, but the actual proportion is equal to 0.18.

That is, when the true proportion of Chantix users who experience abdominal pain is equal to 0.18, there is a 96% chance of making the correct conclusion that the proportion of Chantix users who suffer from abdominal pain is more than 0.08.

Critical Values. In Exercises 21鈥�24, refer to the information in the given exercise and do the following.

a. Find the critical value(s).

b. Using a significance level of = 0.05, should we reject H0or should we fail to reject H0?

Exercise 20

Testing Hypotheses. In Exercises 13鈥�24, assume that a simple random sample has been selected and test the given claim. Unless specified by your instructor, use either the P-value method or the critical value method for testing hypotheses. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), or critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Speed Dating Data Set 18 鈥淪peed Dating鈥� in Appendix B includes 鈥渁ttractive鈥� ratings of male dates made by the female dates. The summary statistics are n = 199, x = 6.19, s = 1.99. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the population mean of such ratings is less than 7.00.

Testing Hypotheses. In Exercises 13鈥�24, assume that a simple random sample has been selected and test the given claim. Unless specified by your instructor, use either the P-value method or the critical value method for testing hypotheses. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), or critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Heights of Supermodels Listed below are the heights (cm) for the simple random sample of female supermodels Lima, Bundchen, Ambrosio, Ebanks, Iman, Rubik, Kurkova, Kerr,Kroes, Swanepoel, Prinsloo, Hosk, Kloss, Robinson, Heatherton, and Refaeli. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that supermodels have heights with a mean that is greater than the mean height of 162 cm for women in the general population. Given that there are only 16 heights represented, can we really conclude that supermodels are taller than the typical woman?

Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 9鈥�32, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, as described in Part 1 of this section.

Survey Return Rate In a study of cell phone use and brain hemispheric dominance, an Internet survey was e-mailed to 5000 subjects randomly selected from an online group involved with ears. 717 surveys were returned. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the return rate is less than 15%.
