The drug Dramamine was tested for its effectiveness to prevent airsickness compared to placebo. A total of 216 volunteers were randomly assigned to receive treatment (Dramamine) or control (placebo). Of the 108 volunteers receiving treatments, 31 became airsick; of the 108 volunteers receiving placebo, 60 became airsick.
(a) Make a 2 × 2 table displaying the results.
(b) Set up the hypotheses to test whether Dramamine is effective in
reducing the chance of airsickness.
(c) Do a chi-square test of the hypotheses. Use α = 0.05.

A drug company is
investigating a new pain relief medicine for migraine. To test the
effectiveness of the new drug, 10 volunteers were selected and
randomly assigned to receive either the new medication or a
placebo. The subjects were instructed to take the drug or placebo
during their next migraine headache episode and to report their
pain on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being most pain). The following

In a study of the effectiveness of an antipsychotic drug,
patients treated with the drug were compared to patients receiving
a placebo. In terms of the number relapsing, 698 of 1,068 patients
relapsed after taking the placebo while 639 out of 2,127 patients
relapsed after taking the antipsychotic drug. Test the prediction
that the antipsychotic is significantly more effective in
preventing relapse than the placebo.

A clinical trial is run to investigate the effectiveness of an
experimental drug in reducing preterm delivery to a drug considered
standard care and to a placebo. Pregnant women are enrolled and
randomly assigned to receive either the experimental drug, the
standard drug or a placebo. Women are followed through delivery and
classified as delivering preterm (< 37 weeks) or not. The data
are shown below. (HINT: expected frequency for preterm delivery
should be consistent across the three groups –...

information from a group of 64 patients, and calculates a sample
mean of 6.4 hours of sleep and a standard deviation of
s=0.8.

3. The herb ginkgo biloba is commonly used as a treatment to
prevent dementia. In a study of the effectiveness of this
treatment, 1545 elderly subjects were given ginkgo and 1524 elderly
subjects were given a placebo (not including the drug). Among those
in the ginkgo treatment group, 246 later developed dementia, and
among those in the placebo group, 277 later developed dementia. We
want to use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that ginkgo

A vaccine to prevent a severe virus was given to children within
the first year of life as part of a drug study. The study reported
that of the
3029 children randomly assigned the vaccine, 49 got the virus.
Of the 1584 children randomly assigned the placebo, 43 got the
virus.
a. Find the sample percentage of children who caught the virus
in each group. Is the sample percentage lower for the vaccine
group, as investigators hoped?
b. Determine whether...
