Side effects A drug manufacturer claims that less than 10 % of patients who take its new drug for treating Alzheimer's disease will experience nausea. To test this claim, researchers conduct an experiment. They give the new drug to a random sample of 300 out of 5000 Alzheimer's patients whose families have given informed consent for the patients to participate in the study. In all, 25 of the subjects experience nausea. Use these data to perform a test of the drug manufacturer's claim at the α=0.05significance level.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The data does not provide convincing evidence to support the manufacturers claim.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

In measurable speculation testing, an outcome has factual importance when having happened given the invalid hypothesis is far-fetched.

02

Explanation

The population proportion is p is 37%=0.37

p0=1-p=1-0.37=0.63

The number of patients is n = 300

Patients that experienced nausea x = 25

Standard proportion p-=xn=25300=0.0834

Calculating the null and alternative hypotheses,

localid="1662024456534" H0:p=0.10H1:p<0.10

Using,

localid="1662024901851" z=p-−p0p01−p0n

z=0.0834−0.630.631−0.63300=0.168

03

Test statistic. 

The critical value is defined as below

Z0.05=1.64its from the Z- table such that P(Z>1.64)=0.05

But test is left-tailed, therefore the critical value is -1.64

From the above we may define Reject HoifZ<-1.64

Now, define the test statistic as

z=p-−p0pqnz=0.0833−0.10.1×0.9300z=-0.96

This is our test statistic.

It is observed that z>-1.64, so we do not reject H0.

Hence, we conclude that the data does not provide convincing evidence to support the manufacturers claim.

Which of the following would provide evidence that a power law model of the form y=axbwhere b≠0andb≠1, describes the relationship between a response variable yand an explanatory variable x.

(a) A scatterplot of yversus xlooks approximately linear.

(b) A scatterplot of ln yversus xlooks approximately linear.

(c) A scatterplot of yversus ln xlooks approximately linear.

(d) A scatterplot of ln yversus ln xlooks approximately linear.

(e) None of these.

Some high school physics students dropped a ball and measured the distance fallen (in centimeters) at various times (in seconds) after its release. If you have studied physics, then you probably know that the theoretical relationship between the variables is distance =490(time)2. A scatterplot of the students’ data showed a clear curved pattern. At 0.68seconds after release, the ball had fallen 220.4centimeters. How much more or less did the ball fall than the theoretical model predicts?

(a) More by 226.576centimeters

(b) More by 6.176centimeters

(c) No more and no less

(d) Less by 226.576centimeters

(e) Less by centimeters

A large machine is filled with thousands of small

pieces of candy, 40%of which are orange. When money

is deposited, the machine dispenses 60randomly selected

pieces of candy. The machine will be recalibrated if a

group of 60candies contains fewer than18 that are

orange. What is the approximate probability that this will

happen?

a)Pz<0.3-0.4(0.4)(0.6)60

b)Pz<0.4-0.3(0.3)(0.7)60

(c) the average increase in selling price in a population of units when the appraised value increases by \( 1000.
