3. At Community Hospital, the burn center is experimenting with a new plasma compress treatment. A random sample of n,=316 patients with minor burns received the plasma compress treatment. Of these patients, it was found that 259had no visible scars after treatment. Another random sample of n,-419 patients with minor burns received no plasma compress treatment. For this group, it was found that 94 had no visible scars after treatment. Let p, be the population proportion of all patients with minor burns receiving-the plasma compress treatment who have no visible scars. Let P2 be the population proportion of all patients with minor burns not receiving the plasma compress treatment who have no visible scars. Find a 95% confidence interval for p,- P2 and explain the meaning of it.

In an effort to link cold environments with hypertension in humans, a preliminary experimentwas conducted to investigate the effect of cold on hypertension in rats. Two random samplesof 6 rats each were exposed to different environments. One sample of rats was held in a normalenvironment at 26°C. The other sample was held in a cold 5°C environment. Blood pressures andheart rates were measured for rats for both groups. The blood pressures for the 12 rats are shownin the accompanying table.a. Do the data provide sufficient evidence that rats exposed to a 5°C environment have ahigher mean blood pressure than rats exposed to a 26°C environment? Use a  .05.b. Evaluate the three conditions required for the test used in part (a).

A pharmaceutical company wants to test whether their the incidence of side effects (i.e. adverse events) differs between the treatment and placebo groups at the a = 0.05. Let pı = the proportion of subjects in the treatment groups who experienced at least one adverse event and let p2 = the proportion of subjects in the placebo group who experience at least one adverse event. 8 out of 30 people in the treatment group experienced at least one adverse event and 5 out of 30 people in the placebo group experienced at least one adverse event.

Label and provide values for the critical value and the test statistic, and shade the critical region. (e) Make and justify a statistical decision at the a = 0.05 level and state your…
Show formulas please Migraine and Acupuncture: A migraine is a particularly painful type of headache, which patients sometimes wish to treat with acupuncture. To determine whether acupuncture relieves migraine pain, researchers conducted a randomized controlled study where 156 patients diagnosed with migraine headaches were randomly assigned to one of two groups: treatment or control. 76 patients in the treatment group received acupuncture that is specifically designed to treat migraines. 80 patients in the control group received placebo acupuncture (needle insertion at non-acupoint locations). 24 hours after patients received acupuncture, they were asked if they were pain free. Results are summarized in the contingency table below. Test to see if migraine pain relief is dependent on receiving acupuncture. Use αα = 0.1.

A survey of 90 recently delivered women on the rolls of a county welfare department revealed that 27 had a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection. Can we conclude that the population proportion with a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection is less than or equal to 0.25. Let alpha = 0.05
A genetics engineer was attempting to cross a tiger and a cheetah. She predicted a phenotypic outcome of the traits she was observing to be in the following ratio: 4 stripes only: 3 spots only: 9 both stripes and spots. When the cross was performed and she counted the individuals she found 50 with stripes only, 41 with spots only and 85 with both. According to the Chi-square test, did she get the predicted outcome?
A group of students from the students’ union collected data from 15 people in the Bar in College on a Wednesday night. Nine of those interviewed declared that they drank ‘Sinmor’ beer on a regular basis (more than one pint a week.) Based on these data a student newspaper reported that most students drink ‘Sinmor’. State the population in this case, of which the sample may be considered to be representative.
What proportions of males and females wear a facemask while in a large parking lot? There is some evidence that the proportion of females wearing facemasks, pf , is different from the proportion of males wearing face masks, pm . We are going to examine this question by randomly selecting n=900 males and m=800 females walking in parking lots and observing how many of the selected people are wearing masks. Let XM equal the number of males in our sample who wear masks. Let XF equal the number of females in our sample who wear masks. Suppose XM = 494 and XF = 494. Let pmhat be the sample proportion of males in our sample who wear masks. Let pfhat be the sample proportion of females in our sample who wear masks. Let pm be the (unknown) true proportion of males who wear masks in large parking lots. Let pf be the (unknown) true proportion of females who wear masks in large parking lots.a)Calculate an unbiased point estimate of pm . b) We wish to construct a 90 % classical confidence…
