A doctor is performing a clinical trial of a research medication for easing symptoms of emphysema. She recruits 50 patients with the disease and randomly assigns 25 to the treatment group and 25 to the placebo group. After 6 weeks, she measures each patient’s blood oxygen level and compares the sample means of the two groups. She calculates a test statistic of 4.38 and a p-value of 0.0001. She concludes that, since 0.0001 < 0.05, the medication significantly raises blood...

Suppose a hospital would like to estimate the proportion of patients who feel that physicians who care for them always communicated effectively when discussing their medical care. A pilot sample of 40 patients found that 22 reported that their physician communicated effectively. Determine the additional number of patients that need to be sampled to construct a 99% confidence interval with a margin of error equal to 8% to estimate this proportion. the additional patients that need to be sampled is...
