Preventing heart attacks: Medical researchers performed a comparison of two drugs, clopidogrel and ticagrelor, which aredesigned to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke in coronary patients. A total of 6728 patients were given clopidogrel, and6678 were given ticagrelor. Of the clopidogrel patients, 573 suffered a heart attack or stroke within one year, and of theticagrelor patients, 672 suffered a heart attack or stroke. Can you conclude that the proportion of patients suffering a heartattack or stroke is greater for ticagrelor? Let p₁ denote the proportion of patients suffering a heart attack or stroke withclopidogrel and p2 denote the proportion of patients suffering a heart attack or stroke with ticagrelor. Use the a= 0.05 level ofsignificance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator.Part: 0 / 4Part 1 of 4State the null and alternate hypotheses.Ho:H₁ :This hypothesis test is a (Choose one) ▼ test.O

Suppose a study investigated the effects of vitamin A, vitamin C, and omega-3 fatty acids supplements on improving eye health and vision. 300 adults volunteered to take part in the study. In the study, participants were randomly assigned to one of 3 different levels of Vitamin A (Level A, Level B, or Level C) and randomly assigned to one of 2 different levels of Vitamin C (Level 1 or Level 2) and randomly assigned to one of 2 different levels of omega-3 fatty acid (Level I or Level II). a. Identify the subjects of the study. b. Identify the factor(s) for the study and the number of treatment level(s) for each factor. c. How many different treatment groups are there in this study?
A medical study followed 675 cancer patients who received either the new drug lafent or a standard chemotherapy drug. 76% of those who received lafent were still living after eight months, compared to only 63% of this who received the standard chemotherapy drug.
A study claims that the combination of vitamin C with vitamin E is more effective for preventing the flu than vitamin C alone. In the study, a group of researchers studied 1072 subjects. The subjects were randomly assigned to one of three study groups. The first group of 410 subjects were instructed to take 600 mg daily of vitamin C. The second group of 358 subjects were instructed to take 600 mg of vitamin C and 200 IU of vitamin E daily. The third group of 304 subjects were instructed to take 600 mg of vitamin C and 400 IU of vitamin E daily. The incidence of flu over a season was recorded. All subjects knew which treatment they were receiving. The study reported that 300 subjects in each group self-reported no flu for the season, so the vitamin E does not help fight the flu. This statement is false because:• not all groups have the same number of subjects.• not all the subjects took vitamin C.• the amount of vitamin C was different. It would be better to show the results…
A fungal meningitis outbreak has been traced back to a particular compound pharmacy selling a specific injectable drug that is suspected to have been contaminated. In the past 4 weeks 15,051 patients were given the medication, and of those patients 72 individuals contracted fungal meningitis. What is the cumulative incidence for meningitis among those individuals who the medication was administered to?

Suppose we are interested in the risk of peripheral neuropathy among persons with diabetes. To study this relationship, we identify 100 persons with a history of diabetes. At an initial examination, three of those 100 persons were found to have peripheral neuropathy. Five years later, the group was reexamined and 12 additional persons were found to have peripheral neuropathy. Based on that information, which of the following is closest to the five- year risk of peripheral neuropathy in this group of patients? А. О.03 В. О.07 С. О.12 D. 0.15 E. 0.17
You are concerned that nausea may be a side effect of Tamiflu, but you cannot just give Tamiflu to patients with the flu and say that nausea is a side effect if people become nauseous. This is because nausea is common for people who have the flu. From past studies you know that about 32% of people who get the flu experience nausea. You collected data on 2254 patients who were taking Tamiflu to relieve symtoms of the flu, and found that 778 experienced nausea. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of people who take Tamiflu for the relief of flu symtoms and experience nausea is greater than 32%. d) Calculate your test statistic. Write the result below, and be sure to round your final answer to two decimal places.e) Calculate your p-value. Write the result below, and be sure to round your final answer to four decimal places.f) Do you reject the null hypothesis? We reject the null hypothesis, since the p-value is less than the significance level. We…

In a 2009 study, a team of researchers recruited 38 men and divided them randomly into two groups - treatment or control. The also recruited 38 women and they randomly placed half the participants into the treatment group and the other half into the control group. One group was given 25 grams of chia seeds twice a day, and the other was given a placebo. The subjects volunteered to be a part of the study. After 12 weeks, the scientists found no significant difference between the groups in appetite or weight loss. Which of the following is true. (i) This is an observational study (ii) Blinding is used in this study because subjects in the control group recieved a placebo, so that htey were blinded to the treatment they recieved. (iii) We can safely generalize the conclusion (that chia seeds have no significant effect on appetite or weight loss) from the participants to the population at large because randomization is used when assigning participatns to groups.
Treatment for Cocaine AddictionCocaine addiction is very hard to break. Even among addicts trying hard to break the addiction, relapse is common. (A relapse is when a person trying to break out of the addiction fails and uses cocaine again.) A study is conducted to investigate the effectiveness of two drugs, desipramine and lithium, in the treatment of cocaine addiction. The subjects in the six-week study were cocaine addicts seeking treatment. The 72 subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups (desipramine, lithium, or a placebo, with 24 subjects in each group) and the study was double-blind. Now we are able to consider all three groups together and test whether relapse rate differs by drug. Ten of the subjects taking desipramine relapsed, 18 of those taking lithium relapsed, and 20 of those taking the placebo relapsed. (a) Create a two-way table from the information given. Relapse No relapse Total Desipramine ? ? ? Lithium ? ? ? Placebo ? ? ? Total ? ? ?…
