The complete question is;
A surgeon performed two types of surgeries to treat large kidney stones and small kidney stones. Treatment A on large stones was successful 73% of the time, but on small stones it was successful 93% of the time. Treatment B was successful on large stones 69% of the time, but on small stones it was successful 87% of the time. The overall report stated treatment B was more successful. What may make this claim possible?
Group of answer choices;
Sampling error
Cause-and-effect relationship
Convenience error
Confounding
Simpson's Paradox
Answer:
Correct Option is Simpson's Paradox
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at all the options, The correct option is Simpson's Paradox because the concept of the other options don't depict the paradox displayed in the question.
Now, Simpson's paradox, is simply a phenomenon in probability and statistics, whereby a trend appears in several different groups of data but will disappear or reverse when these groups are combined. This result is often encountered in many areas of statistics and is very problematic especially when frequency data is given causal interpretations. The paradox can be resolved when causal relations are appropriately addressed in the statistical modeling.
Now, in this question, it concluded that treatment B was more successful than treatment A without considering the conditions under which both treatments were carried out neither did it consider the severity of cases of patients involved in the treatment.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the one sample proportion test:
z = (p-P) / √{P (1-P)/n}
Where p = 709/2640= 0.27, P = 0.29, n= 2640
Thus z = (0.27-0.29) / √{0.29 (1-0.29) / 2640}
z = (-0.02) / √{0.29(0.71) /2640}
z = (-0.02) / √0.00007799
z = (0.02) / 0.0088
z = 2.27
To be able to draw a conclusion, lets find the p value at the 0.1 level of significant: p value is 0.2327. The result is significant as the p value is greater than 0.1 thus we will fail to reject the null and conclude that there is not enough statistical evidence to prove that the true percentage of all firms that announced one or more acquisitions during the year 2000 is less than 29%
