QUESTION 1 The margin of error is always greater than or equal to the standard error. True False 3.4 points QUESTION 2 A clinical trial is being conducted in order to determine the efficacy of a new drug used to treat Rheumatoid arthritis. The efficacy of the medication will not only be determined by the physical improvement of symptoms but also by using a blood test to examine the concentration C-reactive protein (an inflammatory marker) in an individual’s blood. If the researcher wants a margin of error for the level of C-reactive protein to be less than or equal to 3.0 mg/dL, and if the standard deviation for C-reactive protein concentrations among arthritis patients was previously documented at 8 mg/dL, how many patients should be recruited for each group in the study assuming a 95% confidence interval will be used to quantify the mean differences between the control group and the treatment group? n for the treatment group = 112; n for the control group = 111 n for the treatment group = 56; n for the control group = 57 n for the treatment group = 55; n for the control group = 55 n for the treatment group = 112; n for the control group = 112 3.4 points QUESTION 3 It is important for researchers to account for attrition or loss of participants during follow-up.

Use the appropriate hypothesis to test for the independence of the two independent variables presented here at the 5% significance level to ensure confounding has not influenced the study’s results. Then, interpret your response. Diet Low in Processed Foods Normal BP High BP Total College Education 124 55 179 High School Education 69 152 221 Total 193 207 400 Diet High in Processed Foods Normal BP High BP Total College Education 64 85 149 High School Education 98 153 251 Total 162 238 400 The chi square value of 37.724 is higher than the chi square value of 3.84; therefore, we do not reject H0 at the 5% level and reject H1, which states that level of education and the amount of processed foods in an individual’s diet are not independent of one another. The chi square value of 37.724 is higher than the chi square value of 3.84; therefore, we do not reject H0 at the 5% level and reject H1, which states that level of education and the incidence of high blood pressure are not independent of one another. The chi square value of 37.724 is higher than the chi square value of 3.84; therefore, we can reject H0 at the 5% level in favor of H1, which states that level of education and the incidence of high blood pressure are not independent of one another. The chi square value of 37.724 is higher than the chi square value of 3.84; therefore, we can reject H0 at the 5% level in favor of H1, which states that level of education and the amount of processed foods in an individual’s diet are not independent of one another. 3.4 points QUESTION 8 If a test is run and p = 0.0356, then we can reject H0 at a = 0.01.

True False 3.4 points QUESTION 13 A researcher wants to compare the mean concentration of two medications considered biologically equivalent, i.e., two medications that are able to produce the same therapeutic effect at the same level of concentration in the blood. The group of individuals on medication one (n = 32) had a mean blood concentration of 21.7 micrograms per milliliter with a standard deviation of 8.7 micrograms per milliliter. The group of individuals on medication two (n = 32) had a mean blood concentration of 19.4 micrograms per milliliter with a standard deviation of 5.2 micrograms per milliliter. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval demonstrating the difference in means for the individuals on medication one when compared to the group of individuals on medication two. The researchers are 95% confident that the true mean difference in medication concentration levels between individuals on medication one and individuals on medication two is between 4.867 micrograms per milliliter and 9.467 micrograms per milliliter. The researchers are 95% confident that the true mean difference in medication concentration levels between individuals on medication one and individuals on medication two is between -1.212 micrograms per milliliter and 5.812 micrograms per milliliter. The researchers are 95% confident that the true mean difference in medication concentration levels between individuals on medication one and individuals on medication two is between 11.747 micrograms per milliliter and 16.347 micrograms per milliliter.

Two hundred participants are enrolled in the study and randomized to receive either the experimental medication or placebo. The primary outcome is self-reported reduction of symptoms. Among 100 participants who receive the experimental medication, 38 report a reduction of symptoms as compared to 21 participants of 100 assigned to placebo. When you test if there is a significant difference in the proportions of participants reporting a reduction of symptoms between the experimental and placebo groups. Use α = 0.05. What should the researcher’s conclusion be for a 5% significance level? Reject H0 because 2.64 ≥ 1.960. We have statistically significant evidence at α = 0.05 to show that there is a difference in the proportions of patients reporting a reduction in symptoms. We reject H0 at the 5% level because 2.64 is greater than 1.96. We do have statistically significant evidence at α = 0.05 to show that there is a difference in the proportions of patients reporting a reduction in symptoms. We fail to reject H0 at the 5% because -2.64 is less than 1.645. We do not have statistically significant evidence to show that there is a difference in the proportions of patients reporting a reduction in symptoms. We fail to reject H0 at the 5% because -2.64 is less than 1.96.
