Decision: | p-value<α , reject null hypothesis |
We can do this because we have rejected the hypothesis.

2) In a different study, patients were divided randomly into two groups. One group received a well-known migraine headache medication called Maxalt, while another group received nothing. On average, there was a 40% decrease in pain levels after 2 hours for the group receiving Maxalt. The group who received nothing had a 15% decrease in pain. Part A: The patients were divided randomly, so the groups should be roughly similar. Unfortunately, there is still a confounding variable in this study....
2. [13 marks] In an early clinical trial of a new drug, researchers advertised for patients with a certain difficult-to-treat condition. Applicants with other medical complications, or extreme age (either young or old) were excluded. Those participating in the trial were randomly divided into three treatment groups. One group received a placebo, another received 20 milligrams (mg) of the drug per day, and the third group received a daily dose of 40 mg. All doses (including placebo) were identical in...
2. An experiment was conducted to compare five treatments for reducing fever. Thirty-five patients were randomly assigned into five treatment groups. The patients' temperatures were taken two hours after receiving the treatment, and are given below. We will test the claim that there is no difference in mean body temperature among each of the five treatment groups using a 5% significance level.

2. A study was conducted to test the effect of a new drug (Clofibrate) on reducing the coronary death compared to placebo. Patients were randomized into two groups at 1:2 ratio. Of 1065 subjects in the treatment group, 194 died at 5 years, whereas 523 of 2695 subjects in the placebo group died at 5 years. Answer these questions: a) what is the study design? b) generate a 2 by 2 table, c) calculate the crude mortality rates for both...

(21.28) Healthy men aged 21 to 35 were randomly assigned to one of two groups: half received 0.82 grams of alcohol per kilogram of body weight; half received a placebo. Participants were then given 30 minutes to read up to 34 pages of Tolstoy's War and Peace (beginning at chapter 1, with each page containing approximately 22 lines of text). Every two to four minutes participants were prompted to indicate whether they were "zoning out." The proportion of times participants...
