1. A pharmaceutical company is testing a new cold medicine to determine if the drug has side effects. To test the drug, 7 patients are given the drug and 8 patients are given a placebo (sugar pill). The change in pulse rate (beats per minute) after taking the pill was as follows:
|
Given drug: |
3 |
5 |

A pharmaceutical company is testing a new drug to increase memorization ability. It takes a sample of individuals and splits them randomly into two groups: group 1 takes the drug, group 2 takes a placebo. After the drug regimen is completed, all members of the study are given a test for memorization ability with higher scores representing a better ability to memorize. Those 29 participants on the drug had an average test score of 27.92 (SD = 3.215) while those...

Part A: Suppose you work for a pharmaceutical company that is testing a new drug to treat ulcerative colitis. You conduct a random sample of 34 patients on the new drug and 14 of them indicated a decrease in symptoms since starting the drug regimen. You construct a 90% confidence interval for this proportion to be ( 0.2733 , 0.5502 ). What is the correct interpretation of this confidence interval? 1) We are certain that 90% of patients will be...

A pharmaceutical company is testing a new drug. Of the 110 people that received the drug, 61 of the people's autoimmune disease went into remission. Using the old drug the autoimmune disease for 50% of all the people treated went into remission. When testing whether or not the new drug is more effective then the old drug at treating people's autoimmune disease (In terms of cases going into remission), what conclusion can be made based on hypothesis test? Assume the...
