A randomized controlled study was designed to test whether regular drinking of cranberry juice can prevent the recurrence of uri

nary tract infections (UTIs) in women. 150150 women with a urinary tract infection were treated with an antibiotic and then randomly assigned to one of three groups. One group drank cranberry juice concentrate daily for six months; another group took a drink containing Lactobacillus, a lactose‑fermenting bacterium thought to help inhibit the growth of UTI‑causing bacteria, daily for six months; the last group served as the control group and drank neither cranberry juice nor Lactobacillus drinks for six months. After six months, the number of women in each group with recurring symptomatic urinary tract infection (defined as one or more new infections) was recorded. Here are the results.
Outcome
Treatment Recurring UTI No new UTI Total
Cranberry juice 8 42 50
Lactobacilllus 19 30 49
Control 18 32 50

Answer:

1. The chi-squared statistic = 10.36

The degrees of freedom = 17

The p-value for the test = 0.89

2. The range of the p-value from the Chi squared table = 0.75 < p-value < 0.90

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The Chi squared test is given as follows;

\chi ^{2} = \sum \dfrac{\left (Observed - Expected  \right )^{2}}{Expected  }

Therefore,

                              UTI   No UTI    %     Total

Cranberry juice       8           42      84     50

Lactobacillus          19          30       61     49

Control                    18          30      60    50

The chi-squared statistic is given as follows;

\chi ^{2} = \dfrac{\left (8- 18\right )^{2}}{18} +  \dfrac{\left (42 - 30\right )^{2}}{30} = 10.36

The chi-squared statistic = 10.36

The degrees of freedom, df = 18 - 1 = 17 since the all of the expected count have a minimum value of 18

With the aid of the calculator we find the p value as p as follows;

p = 0.9 - \dfrac{10.36 - 10.085}{12.972 - 10.085} \times (0.9 - 0.75)

The p-value for the test = 0.89  

2. The range of the p-value from the Chi squared table is given as follows;

0.75 < p-value < 0.90.

Julio bought a total of 20 medium and large pumpkins. If he spent $53 and bought 6 more large pumpkins as medium pumpkins, how m
Tatiana [17]
20 medium and large pumpkins

m ... number of medium pumpkins
l ... number of large pumpkins

20 = m + l
20 = m + (m + 6)
20 = 2 * m + 6
2 * m = 20 - 6
2 * m = 14
m = 7 medium pumpkins

l = 20 - 7 = 13 large pumpkins

Result: Julio bought 13 large pumpkins.

Which property is shown by -3 x (6+5) = -3 x 6+ -3 x 5
aniked [119]

Answer:

The distributive property of multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u>distributive property of multiplication</u>  states that the product of a number by a sum, is equal to multiply each addend by the number (This is called distributing the number) and then, you can add the products

so

a*(b+c)=a*b+a*c

in this problem we have

-3*(6+5)=-3*6+-3*5 ----> the number -3 is distributed

therefore

We have the distributive property of multiplication

A comic-strip writer churns out a different number of comic strips each day. For 16 days, the writer logged the number of comic
Nimfa-mama [501]

First we need to graph the given values.

there are total 16 data so x-value can be taken as 1,2,3,...,16

given values will be assigned as y-values as shown in attached table.

Now we just graph those points to see the type of skew.

From graph we see that points are very close and almost in the shape of a line. Lines seems to be moving upward when going to the right side.

Hence correct answer will be "positive skew".
