10,00010,000 individuals are divided evenly into two groups. The treatment group is given a vaccine and the control group is given a placebo. 9595 of the 5,0005,000 individuals in the treatment group developed a disease. 125125 of the 5,0005,000 individuals in the control group developed a particular disease. A research team wants to determine whether the vaccine is effective in decreasing the incidence of disease. Does sufficient evidence exist to conclude that the proportion of developing a disease in individuals given the vaccine is less than that of individuals given a placebo?
1. What is the proportion of individuals in the treatment group that developed the disease? Type as: #.###
2. What is the proportion of individuals in the control group that developed the disease? Type as: #.###
3. What is the proportion of individuals in the overall group that developed the disease? Type as: #.###
4. What is the standard error estimate? Type as: #.####
5. What is the ?z-score? Type as: #.###
6. What is the ?p-value? Type as: #.####
95 in treatment group and 125 in control group
1. What is the proportion of individuals in the treatment group that developed the disease?
= 95/5000 = 0.019
2. What is the proportion of individuals in the control group that developed the disease?
= 125/5000
=0.025
3. What is the proportion of individuals in the overall group that developed the disease?
= (95+125)/10000
=0.022
4. What is the standard error estimate?
= 0.0029339
5. What is the ?z-score?
z = (0.019 - 0.025)/ 0.0029339
= -2.045
6. What is the ?p-value?
p-value = 2 P(z < -2.045)
= 0.0408
