A drug, which is used for treating cancer, has potentially dangerous side effects if it is taken in doses which are larger than the required dosage for the treatment. The tablet should contain 56.02mg and the standard deviation should be 0.02. 12 tablets are randomly selected and the amount of drug in each tablet is measured. The sample has a mean of 56.025mg and a variance of 0.0001mg. Does the data suggest at α=0.05
that the tablets vary by less than the desired amount?
Step 1 of 5 :
State the hypotheses in terms of the standard deviation. Round the standard deviation to four decimal places when necessary.

A drug, which is used for treating cancer, has potentially dangerous side effects if it is taken in doses which are larger than 46.33mg, the required dosage for the treatment. It is important that the variance of the amount of the active ingredient is 0.03. 10 tablets are randomly selected and the amount of the drug in each tablet is measured. It is determined that the variance of the amount of active ingredient is 0.0061mg. Does the data suggests at...

A drug used for treating cancer has potentially dangerous side effects if it is taken in doses higher than needed for treatment. The pharmaceutical company that manufactures the drug must be certain that the standard deviation of the drug content in each tablet is less than 0.1 mg. Fifteen tablets are analyzed to determine the amount of the drug in them. The sample mean is 20 mg, and the sample standard deviation is 0.08 mg. Step 2 of 5: If...

A drug which is used for treating high cholesterol has potentially dangerous side effects if it is taken at an improper dosage. The drug is manufactured at two different plants, plant A and plant B. A medical researcher believes that tablet A has a smaller variance in dosage than the variance in dosage from tablet B. The sample variance of a sample of 6 dosages of tablet A is 0.016. The sample variance of a sample of 20 dosages of...

The dosage of a drug in a particular tablet needs to be precise. It is essential that the tablets contain 56.04mg of the active ingredient with a variance of 0.03. A random sample of 25 tablets finds that the variance of the active ingredient is 0.026. Does the data suggests at α=0.01 that the variance of the drug in the tablets is less than the desired amount? Assume the population is normally distributed. Step 1 of 5: State the null...

In order for a new drug to be sold on the market, the variance of the active ingredient in each dose should be 0.02mg. A random sample of 25 tablets with a dosage strength of 48.42mg is taken. The variance of the active ingredient from this sample is found to be 0.0048. Does the data suggests at α=0.01 that the variance of the drug in the tablets is less than the desired amount? Assume the population is normally distributed. Step...

A clinical trial was conducted to test whether a drug for treating insomnia is effective. Researchers administered the drug and measured the time it took 23 randomly selected subjects to fall asleep. The subjects had a mean wake time of 96.6 min and a sample standard deviation of 24.5 min. Assume that the population of wake times is normally distributed. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval. You may use your calculator. Round to 1 decimals. (b) Are the assumptions met?...

An experiment on the side effects of pain relievers assigned patients with arthritis to take one of several over-the-counter pain medications. Of the 440 patients who took one brand of pain reliever, 23 suffered some "adverse symptom". (a) If 10% of all patients suffer adverse symptoms, what would be the sampling distribution of the proportion with adverse symptoms in a sample of 440 patients? Normal with mean 0.1 and standard deviation 0.0143 Approximately Normal with mean 0.1 and standard deviation...

Prednisolone is a relatively new drug for treating inflammatory
diseases. This drug replaces prednisone, a corticosteroid that can
cause patients to develope osteoporosis, low bone density if the
drug is used for a prolonged time period. Here, we are comparing a
group of 30 cats receiving prednisolone to a group of 30 cats
receiving a placebo. The cats receiving a placebo will serve as a
control group. After receiving treatment for 6 weeks a bone scan
was done to assess...
