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.

Brawn versus brain How is the weight of an animal's brain related to the weight of its body?

Researchers collected data on the brain weight (in grams) and body weight (in kilograms) for 96species of mammals. The figure below is a scatterplot of the logarithm of brain weight against the logarithm of body weight for all 96species. The least-squares regression line for the transformed data is

logy^=1.01+0.72logx

Based on footprints and some other sketchy evidence, some people think that a large apelike animal, called Sasquatch or Bigfoot, lives in the Pacific Northwest. His weight is estimated to be about 280pounds, or 127kilograms. How big is Bigfoot’s brain? Show your method clearly

Could mud wrestling be the cause of a rash contracted by University of Washington students? Two physicians at the University of Washington student health center wondered about this when one male and six female students complained of rashes after participating in a mud-wrestling event. Questionnaires were sent to a random sample of students who participated in the event. The results, by gender, are summarized in the following table.

From the chi-square test performed in this study, we may conclude that

(a) there is convincing evidence of an association between the gender of an individual participating in the event and development of a rash.

(b) mud wrestling causes a rash, especially for women.

(c) there is absolutely no evidence of any relation between the gender of an individual participating in the event and the subsequent development of a rash.

(d) development of a rash is a real possibility if you participate in mud wrestling, especially if you do so on a regular basis.

(e) the gender of the individual participating in the event and the development of a rash are independent.

The previous Check Your Understanding (page 750) described some results from a study of body weights and backpack weights. Here, again, is the Minitab output from the least-squares regression analysis for these data.

1. Do these data provide convincing evidence of a linear relationship between pack weight and body weight in the population of ninth-grade students at the school? Carry out a test at the a=0.05significance level. Assume that the conditions for regression inference are met.

Is there significant evidence that selling price increases as appraised value increases? To answer this question, test the hypotheses

(a) H0:β=0versusHa:β>0..

(b) H0:β=0versusHa:β<0

(c) H0:β=0versusHa:β≠0

(d) H0:β>0versusHa=β=0.

(e)Hx:β=1versus.H·θ>1

Students in a statistics class drew circles of varying diameters and counted how many Cheerios could be placed in the circle. The scatterplot shows the results.

The students want to determine an appropriate equation for the relationship between diameter and the number of Cheerios. The students decide to transform the data to make it appear more linear before computing a least-squares regression line. Which of the following single transformations would be reasonable for them to try?

I. Take the square root of the number of Cheerios.

II. Cube the number of Cheerios.

III. Take the log of the number of Cheerios.

IV. Take the log of the diameter.

(a) I and II

(b) I and III

(c) II and III

(d) II and IV

(e) I and IV
