Advandia is a drug used to treat diabetes, but it may cause an increase in heart attacks among a population already susceptible.

A large study found that out of 1,456 diabetics who were treated with Avandia, 27 of them had a heart attack during the study period. This was compared with 41 heart attacks among a group of 2,895 participants who were given other treatments for their diabetes. The researchers want to determine if there is evidence to suggest that there is a significant increase in the proportion of people who suffer heart attacks when using Avandia compared to other treatments.
a)Are these proportions from matched-pairs data?

b)What is the result of the appropriate hypothesis test, using ? = 0.05 level of significance?

Answer:

a) The proportions are not form matched-pairs data.

b) The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is  not enough evidence to support the claim that there is evidence of a significant increase in the proportion of people who suffer heart attacks when using Avandia compared to other treatments.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Two data sets are "paired" when the following one-to-one relationship exists between values in the two data sets:

  • Each data set has the same number of data points.
  • Each data point in one data set is related to one, and only one, data point in the other data set.

None of this conditions apply in this case, so the proportions are not form matched-pairs data.

b) This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that there is evidence to suggest that there is a significant increase in the proportion of people who suffer heart attacks when using Avandia compared to other treatments.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2> 0

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample 1 (Avindia treatment), of size n1=1456 has a proportion of p1=0.0185.

p_1=X_1/n_1=27/1456=0.0185

The sample 2 (other treatment), of size n2=2895 has a proportion of p2=0.0142.

p_2=X_2/n_2=41/2895=0.0142

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.0044.

p_d=p_1-p_2=0.0185-0.0142=0.0044

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{27+41}{1456+2895}=\dfrac{68}{4351}=0.0156

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.0156*0.9844}{1456}+\dfrac{0.0156*0.9844}{2895}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.00001+0.00001}=\sqrt{0.00002}=0.004

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.0044-0}{0.004}=\dfrac{0.0044}{0.004}=1.1

 

This test is a right-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

P-value=P(z>1.1)=0.1358

As the P-value (0.1358) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is  not enough evidence to support the claim that there is evidence to suggest that there is a significant increase in the proportion of people who suffer heart attacks when using Avandia compared to other treatments.

Answer:

Answer:(a)No, it is not a matched pair data

(b) we accept the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) No, it is not a matched pair data

(b) Given that x₁ = 27,  x₂ = 41, n₁= 1456, n₂ = 2895

P₁= x₁/n₁  = 27/1456  = 0.0185, P₂ = x₂/ n₂ = 41/2895  = 0.0142

Step 1 The Null hypothesis H₀ ; p₁≤ p₂

The Alternate Hypothesis ; H₁ ; p₁ >p₂

The level of significance α = 0.05

Step 2 The test significance z = <u>p₁ - p₂</u>

                                                 √pq (1/n₁ +1/n₂)

where p= <u>n₁p₁ + n₂p₂</u> =  <u> 27+ 41</u>

                    n₁+n₂         1456+ 2895    = 0.0156

q = 1- 0.0156 = 0.9844

z= <u>0.0185 - 0.0142 </u>

√(0.0156)(0.9844) (1/1456 + 1/2895)

= 0.0043/0.004 = 1.075

Zcal = 1.075

Step 3 Criterion ; if Zcal < Ztab, Accept Null hypothesis

otherwise reject Null hypothesis

Ztab at 0.05 LOS is 1.645 = zα/2

Stepn 4; Conclusion Since Ztab = 1.075 < 1.645 = Zcal

We accept the Null hypothesis which means there is no evidence to increase the first proportion

Step 5: p- value; F(1.645) -F91.075) = 0.9495 - 0.0918> 0.05

Therefore we accept the null hypothesis

Bruce wants to make 50 ml of an alcohol solution with a 12% concentration. He has a 10% alcohol solution and a 15% alcohol solut
Inessa05 [86]

The equation is 0.1x + 0.15(50-x)=1.20(50)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here you need 50ml of 12% alcohol solution.

You have 10% and 15% alcohol solutions.

Take volume of 10% alcohol solution to be x ml

Take volume of 15% alcohol solution to be y ml

Form equations;

x+y=50 ml--------------------------equation 1

0.1x +0.15 y= 12% of 50

0.1x+0.15y=6-----------------------equation 2

Now you have simultaneous equations, use a graph tool to solve for values of x and y as attached.

or use the mixture equation the get value of x

0.1x + 0.15(50-x)=1.20(50)

The values of x and y are ;

(x,y) (30,20) which means;

y is 20 ml of 15% alcohol

x is 30 ml of 10% alcohol

Find the equation of the line containing (3,-2) and (5,5).
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

y = 3.5x - 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope using rise over run (y2 - y1 / x2 - x1) with the 2 points:

(-2 - 5) / (3 - 5)

-7/-2

= 3.5

Then, plug the slope and a point into y = mx + b to solve for b:

y = mx + b

5 = 3.5(5) + b

5 = 17.5 + b

-12.5 = b

Plug the slope and the y intercept into the equation y = mx + b

y = 3.5x - 12.5 will be the equation

If x=5, evaluate x^5 * x^-3
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in x to the expression.

5^5 * 5^{-3}\\

When there is the same base of exponents is being multiplied the exponents add together and the base stays the same.

So this simplifies to, 5^2.

This then solves to 25.

Solve the eqauation 76a^3+19a^2+16a=-4
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The solutions are a₁ = -4/19 i, a₂ = 4/19 i and a₃ = -1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 76a³+19a²+16a=-4, for us to solve the equation, we need to find all the factors of the polynomial function. Since the highest degree of the polynomial is 3, the polynomial will have 3 roots.

The equation can also be written as (76a³+19a²)+(16a+4) = 0

On factorizing out the common terms from each parenthesis, we will have;

19a²(4a+1)+4(4a+1) = 0

(19a²+4)(4a+1) = 0

19a²+4 = 0 and 4a+1 = 0

From the first equation;

19a²+4 = 0

19a² = -4

a² = -4/19

a = ±√-4/19

a₁ = -4/19 i, a₂ = 4/19 i (√-1 = i)

From the second equation 4a+1 = 0

4a = -1

a₃ = -1/4
