A manufacturer of a new medication on the market for Alzheimer's disease makes a claim that the medication is effective in 65% o

f people who have the disease. One hundred eighty individuals with Alzheimer's disease are given the medication, and 115 of them note the medication was effective. Does this finding provide statistical evidence at the 0.05 level that the effectiveness is less than the 65% claim the company made? Make sure to include parameter, conditions, calculations, and a conclusion in your answer.

Answer:

z=\frac{0.639 -0.65}{\sqrt{\frac{0.65(1-0.65)}{180}}}=-0.309  

p_v =P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of adults with the medication was effective is not significantly less than 0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=180 represent the random sample taken

X=115 represent the adults with the medication was effective

\hat p=\frac{115}{180}=0.639 estimated proportion of adults with the medication was effective

p_o=0.65 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that true proportion is less than 0.65.:  

Null hypothesis:p \geq 0.65  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.65  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.639 -0.65}{\sqrt{\frac{0.65(1-0.65)}{180}}}=-0.309  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of adults with the medication was effective is not significantly less than 0.65

Make a Matlab script to make row 2 of matrix A equal to first row of A multiplied by the negative of the first element of row 2
stira [4]

Answer:

X=\begin{Bmatrix}2& 1 &10 \\-3 & 5 & 4\end{Bmatrix}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Matrix is given as A=\begin{Bmatrix}2 & -1 & 10\\-3 & 8 & 4\end{Bmatrix}

Generally let the change in matrix be given as X

X_1_2 = 2*(-(-1)) + - 1 = 1X_2_2 = -3 * (-(-1))+ 8 = 5

Matlab output

A=[2 -1 10;-3 8 4]\\a=(A(1,1)*-A(1,2))+A(1,2)\\b=(A(2,1)*-A(1,2))+A(2,2)\\X=[A(1,1) a A(1,3); A(2,1) b A(2,3)]\\

Generally the matrix that makes row 2 of matrix A equal to first row of A multiplied by the negative of the first element of row 2 plus the original row is

X=\begin{Bmatrix}2& 1 &10 \\-3 & 5 & 4\end{Bmatrix}
