Suppose that 80% of adults with allergies report symptomatic relief with a specific medication. If the medication is given to 10 new patients with allergies,
a) On average, how many people of 10 do we expect it to be effective?
b) What is the probability that it is effective in exactly nine?
c) What is the probability that it is effective in at least nine?
d) Suppose we give the medication to 100 people with allergies, what is the probability that the medication is effective on at least 90% of the subjects?

(3 points) Suppose researchers studying the effect of antibiotic treatment for acute sinusitis compared to symptomatic treatments randomly assigned 164 adults diagnosed with acute sinusitis to one of two groups: treatment or control. Study participants received either a 10-day course of amoxicillin (an antibiotic) or a placebo similar in appearance and taste. The placebo consisted of symptomatic treatments such as acetaminophen, nasal decongestants, etc. At the end of the 10-day period patients were asked if they experienced significant improvement in...

A recent CBS News survey reported that 67% of adults felt the US Treasury should continue making pennies. Suppose we select a sample of 15 adults. On average, how many of the 15 would we expect to indicate that the Treasury should continue making pennies? What is the standard deviation? What is the probability that exactly 9 adults would indicate the Treasury should continue making pennies?

Suppose that 12% of adults are classified as hypertensive. For people that are truly hypertensive the probability of a positive test is 0.85. Also, for people that are not truly hypertensive the probability of a positive test is 0.24. What is the probability that an individual is not hypertensive? A test on probability is to be given next Friday. Suppose that 80 percent of the students study for the test and 20 percent do not. If a student studies for...

Problem 4 Suppose 100 hypertensive people are given an antihypertensive drug and the drug is effective in 20 of them. By effective, we mean their DBP is lowered by at least 10 mm Hg as judged from a repeat blood-pressure measurement 1 month after taking the drug by 10 mm Hg after 1 month. 1. What is the best point estimate of the probability p of the drug being effective? 2. Suppose we know that 10% of all hypertensive patients...
