Notation for the sample data given in exercise 1, consider the salk vaccine treatment group to be the first sample. Identify the values of n1,p^1,q^1,n2,p^2,q^2,pand q. Round all values so that they have six significant digits.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The values of notations are as follows:

n1=201,229p^1=0.000164q^1=0.999836n2=200745

p^2=0.000573q^2=0.999427p=0.000368q=0.999632

Step by step solution

01

Step-1: Given information

The study is conducted on 401974 children divided into two groups:

Treatment: Of 201229, 33 developed polio.

Placebo: Of 200,745, 115 developed polio.

02

Step-2: Interpretation of notations in two proportions test

The general notations are expressed as,

n1=size of first sample

n2=size of second sample

p^1=sample proportion of success in first sample

q^1=complement of sample successes in second sample.

p^2=sample proportion of success in second sample

q^2=complement of sample successes in first sample

p=pooled sample proportion

q=1-p

03

Step-3: Identify the values from the given information

Let the treatment group be defined as group 1 and Placebo as group 2.

Then,

n1=201229x1=33n2=200745x2=115

04

Step-4:  Compute measure of sample proportions 

Sample proportions are calculated as,

p^1=x1n1=33201229=0.000164

q^1=1-p^1=1-0.000164=0.999836

Similarly,

p^2=x2n2=115200745=0.000573

q^2=1-p^2=1-0.000573=0.999427

05

Find sample pooled proportion 

Now, the pooled sample proportion can be calculated as,

p=x1+x2n1+n2=33+115201229+200745=0.000368

Complement of pooled sample proportion can be calculated as,

q=1-p=1-0.000368=0.999632

Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 7鈥22, 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.

Bednets to Reduce Malaria In a randomized controlled trial in Kenya, insecticide-treated bednets were tested as a way to reduce malaria. Among 343 infants using bednets, 15 developed malaria. Among 294 infants not using bednets, 27 developed malaria (based on data from 鈥淪ustainability of Reductions in Malaria Transmission and Infant Mortality in Western Kenya with Use of Insecticide-Treated Bednets,鈥 by Lindblade et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 291, No. 21). We want to use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the incidence of malaria is lower for infants using bednets.

a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.

b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.

c. Based on the results, do the bednets appear to be effective?

Interpreting Displays.

In Exercises 5 and 6, use the results from the given displays.

Testing Laboratory Gloves, The New York Times published an article about a study by Professor Denise Korniewicz, and Johns Hopkins researched subjected laboratory gloves to stress. Among 240 vinyl gloves, 63% leaked viruses; among 240 latex gloves, 7% leaked viruses. See the accompanying display of the Statdisk results. Using a 0.01 significance level, test the claim that vinyl gloves have a greater virus leak rate than latex gloves.

Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 7鈥22, 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.

Ground vs. Helicopter for Serious Injuries A study investigated rates of fatalities among patients with serious traumatic injuries. Among 61,909 patients transported by helicopter, 7813 died. Among 161,566 patients transported by ground services, 17,775 died (based on data from 鈥淎ssociation Between Helicopter vs Ground Emergency Medical Services and Survival for Adults With Major Trauma,鈥 by Galvagno et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 307, No. 15). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the rate of fatalities is higher for patients transported by helicopter.

a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.

b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.

c. Considering the test results and the actual sample rates, is one mode of transportation better than the other? Are there other important factors to consider?

Assessing Normality Interpret the normal quantile plot of heights of fathers.

Braking Reaction Times: Histogram Listed below are sorted braking reaction times (in 1>10,000 sec) for male and female subjects (based on data from the RT-2S Brake Reaction Time Tester). Construct a histogram for the reaction times of males. Use a class width of 8 and use 28 as the lower limit of the first class. For the horizontal axis, use class midpoint values. Does it appear that the data are from a population with a normal distribution?
