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

How does the decimal point move when 0.45 is multiplied by 104?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Move the decimal point two places to the right to find the product. To multiply a decimal number by a power of ten (such as 10, 100, 1,000, etc.), count the number of zeros in the power of ten. ... The multiplier 100 has two zeros, so you move the decimal point in 0.054 two places to the right—for a product of 5.4.

The half-life of carbon-14 is about 5700 years. If you left those 100 carbon-14 atoms to sit around for 5700 years, how many wou
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

50 atoms have decayed during that time

Explanation:

The radioactive decay is represented as

N = N_0 * \frac{1}{2}^X\\

Where N is the amount of radioactive element after a certain time period

N0 is the amount of radioactive element during the initial time period

X is the half life of the radioactive element

Substituting the given  values in above equation,  we get:

N = 100 * \frac{1}{2}^1\\N = 50atoms

So, 50 atoms of carbon-14 remain are left after decaying for 5700 years.

Hence,  atoms of carbon-14 that decay during 5700 years are 100-50 - 50

Yasser is colorblind and is unable to see colors the same way as his wife. Describe which theory of color vision best explains t
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The theory of color vision best that best explains this deficiency is called TRICHROMATIC COLOR THEORY. It was originally proposed by Thomas Young and later refined by Hermann von Helmholtz.

Here, Yasser’s color-blindness is associated with deficiencies in various cones. The most probable are red and green cones because of their high chance in men than women.

The theory of color vision best explains why he might see an afterimage is known as OPPONENT - PROCESS THEORY. It was originally proposed by Ewald Hering.

This is based on the principle that supposing Yasser, stared at a red image for a while and then stared at a blank white page, he would likely see an imprint of the image, but in green.
