A standard painkiller used for patients after minor surgeries is
known to bring relief in 3.5 minutes on the average (
μ). A
new painkiller is hypothesized to bring faster relief to patients.
To test this hypothesis, a sample of 19 patients with minor
surgeries are selected and given the new painkillers. This sample
yields a mean of 2.8 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.1
minutes. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that
the new painkiller indeed works faster? Assume the times to relief
are normally distributed and use 
α =
0.05.

12. A pain reliever currently being used in a hospital is known to bring relief to patients in 3.5 minutes, on average. To compare a new painelevr with the one currently in use, researchers administer the new drug to a random sample of fifty patients. They hope that the new drug will be effective in reducing the mean time until a patient receives relief from pain. The mean time to relief for the sample of patients is 2.8 minutes with...

An allergy drug has been tested and was found to give relief to 65% of patients back in 2016. Now the pharmaceutical manufacturer wants to see if the new, improved version of the this allergy drug works even better. A random sample of 860 allergy sufferers was obtained and a clinical trial was conducted. At the end of the trial 578 of the 860 patients stated that they new, improved version of this allergy drug provided relief from their allergy...

A hospital reported that the normal death rate for patients with
extensive burns (more than 40% of skin area) has been significantly
reduced by the use of new fluid plasma compresses. Before the new
treatment, the mortality rate for extensive burn patients was about
60%. Using the new compresses, the hospital found that only 44 of
93 patients with extensive burns died. Use a 1% level of
significance to test the claim that the mortality rate has
dropped.
