Researchers testing a new medication find that 15% of users have side effects. What is the probability that would a doctor prescribe the medication to 5 patients before finding one who has side effects. Round your answer to four decimal places.
Please note: You must enter your answer as a decimal (not a percentage) rounded to four decimal places with a zero in front of the decimal point.
- Example: 0.6547
Homework Answers
P(having side effect) = 0.15
P(no side effect) = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85
P(a doctor prescribe the medication to 5 patients before finding one who has side effects) = P(first 5 did not have side effect)
= 0.855
= 0.4437

In a study of medication adherence among clinically depressed young-adults, researchers intended to follow patients for a period of 2-years. However, at the end of this period less than 60% of the originally enrolled participants still responded to researcher requests for information. The 40% who could not be reached were systematically different from the others; their initial depression severity was greater than those participants who were still in contact at the end of the study. This is an example of...

Researchers studied the effects of learning about the effectiveness of a new medication (Tal & Wansink, 2014). Some participants heard information about the medication; others heard the same information and saw a graph that depicted the data they had heard about. Thus, the two groups had identical information. Participants rated the effectiveness of the medication on a scale of 1-9, with 9 indicating a higher level of effectiveness. The researchers reported “Participants given graphs expressed greater belief in the claims,...

It is well known that a placebo, a fake medication or treatment, can sometimes have a positive effect just because patients often expect the medication or treatment to be helpful. An article gave examples of a less familiar phenomenon, the tendency for patients informed of possible side effects to actually experience those side effects. The article cited a study in which a group of patients diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia is randomly divided into two subgroups. One subgroup of...
