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

Margarita [4]

Answer: They led to larger urban cores that used professional armies to increase their territory and enslave people.

Explanation:

Trade generally brings about wealth and this was the case for West African societies as a result of interactions with the Muslim traders who crossed the Sahara to trade with them.

As a result of the gains from trade, wealthy urban cores and cities were formed such as Timbuktu, Gao and Agadez . The wealth the rulers of these cities acquired enabled them to use professional armies to conquer more territory.

Indeed one of the richest men in history, Mansa Musa ruled over an empire that became so rich due to trade in his territory.

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The decision of an ethics review committee about Dr. Franklin's research proposal is:

A:The proposal is approved, as it meets the ethical guidelines defined by the APA.

Explanation:

APA (American Psychological Association) has ethical guidelines for conducting psychological researches.  The most relevant one in this case is: "follow informed-consent rules."  Dr. Franklin clearly ensures that his students give their consents to participate in the eyewitness testimony study by having each sign a form to agree to participate in the research.  I am also sure that the confidentiality and privacy of subjects (students who participate in the research) will be highly protected, in line with another guideline of APA, because these issues have not raised any controversy.
