Thirty middle-aged women with serum triiodothyronine (T3) readings between 180 nanograms and 200 nanograms per deciliter selecte

d randomly from a population of similar female patients at a large local hospital. Fifteen of the 30 women were assigne d group A and received a placebo. The other 15 women were assigned to group B and received a new T3 drug. After three months, posttreatment T3 readings were taken for all 30 women and were compared with pretreatment readings. The reduction in T3 level (Pretreatment reading - Posttreatment reading) for each woman in the study is shown here.
Group A (placebo

reduction (in nanograms per deciliter): 2, 19, 8, 4, 12, 8, 17, 7, 24, 1, 3, 7, 11, 15, 9

Group B (T3 drug reduction (in nanograms per deciliter): 30, 19, 18, 17, 20, -4, 23, 10, 9, 22, 17, 21, 13, 31, 15

Part A: Do the data provide convincing evidence, at the a = 0.01 level, that the T3 drug is effective in producing a reduction in mean T3 level? (6

points) Part B: Create and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the difference in the placebo and the new drug (4 points)

Answer:

Part A

The data provides convincing evidence that the T3 drug is effective in producing a reduction in mean T3 level

Part B

The 99% confidence interval for the difference in the placebo and the new drug is (-15.92, 0.7195)

Explanation:

Part A

The table of data values for the study is presented here as follows;

\begin{array}{ccc}Group \, A \ (Placebo)& Group \, B   \ T3 \ drug \ reduction \ (ng/dL)\\2&30\\19&19\\8&18\\4&17\\12&20\\ 8&-4\\17&23\\7&10\\24&9\\1&22\\3&17\\7&21\\11&13\\15&31\\9&15\\\end{array}

The mean for Group A, \overline x_1 = 9.8

The standard deviation for Group A, s₁  ≈ 6.614

The number of members of Group A, n₁ = 15

The mean for Group B, \overline x_2 = 17.4

The standard deviation for Group B, s₂  ≈ 8.56738

The number of members of Group A, n₂ = 15

The confidence level, α = 0.01 level

The null hypothesis, H₀:  \overline x_1 ≤ \overline x_2

The alternative hypothesis, Hₐ:  \overline x_1 > \overline x_2

The t-test formula as follows;

t=\dfrac{\overline x_{1}-\overline x_{2}}{\sqrt{\dfrac{s_{1}^{2} }{n_{1}}-\dfrac{s _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}}

Plugging in the values of the variables, we get;

t=\dfrac{ 17.4 - 9.8}{\sqrt{\dfrac{8.56738^{2}}{15} - \dfrac{6.614^{2} }{15}}} \approx 5.405

The critical 't' value at 0.01 convincing level and df = 15 - 1 = 14 is 2.624

Therefore, given that the t value is larger than the critical 't', we reject the null hypothesis and we fail to reject the alternative hypothesis, and there is convincing evidence that at a confidence level of a = 0.01, the T3 drug is effective in producing a reduction in mean T3 level

Part B

The 99% confidence interval is given by the following formula;

\left (\bar{x}_{1}- \bar{x}_{2}  \right )\pm t_{\alpha /2}\sqrt{\dfrac{s_{1}^{2}}{n_{1}}+\dfrac{s_{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}

t_{\alpha /2} = 2.977

Plugging in the values, we get;

C.I. = \left (9.8- 17.4\right )\pm 2.977 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{6.614^{2}}{15}+\dfrac{8.56738  ^{2}}{15}}

The 99% confidence interval for the difference in the placebo and the new drug is C.I. = -15.92 < \overline x_1 - \overline x_2 < 0.7195

Which of the following is the BEST reason to prioritize goals?
irina [24]

Answer:

Your most important goal should always get most of your energy and attention.

Explanation:

Prioritization is one important aspect of any goal if one wants to achieve success. This means that one must 'list' the goals and aspirations one has so that it will be easy to deal with them.

Prioritization requires the person to list the goals so that the most important is at the top or first. This will ensure that the important goals will be focused more, with most of the energy and time given. Moreover, it will also help a person 'categorize' the aims and goals.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth/ last option.
