In clinical tests of adverse reactions to the drug
Viagra, 51 of the 734 subjects in the treat
ment group experienced dyspepsia (indigestion) and
22 of the 725
subjects in the placebo group experienced dyspepsia (based on data from Pfizer Pharmaceuticals). Using a
0.05 significance level, test the claim that the proportion of dyspepsia cases among V
iagra users (group 1)
is greater than the proportion of dyspepsia cases among non
-Viagra users (group 2).
a)
What proportion of Viagra users experienced dyspepsia?
A. 0.030
B. 0.069
C. 0.073
D. 0.050

d to test the given hypothesis?

B. 0.59
C. 3.43
D. 11.75

d)
What is the
p

value (corresponding to your test statistic)?
A. 0.0003
B. 0.05
C. 0.95
D. 0.9997
E. Cannot be determined from the given information
e)
What conclusion should you make based on the given data?
A. Reject H
0
and conclude there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that dyspepsia occurs at a higher
rate among Viagra users than those who do not use Viagra.
B. Reject H
0
and conclude there is sufficient evidence to support the
claim that dyspepsia occurs at a
higher rate among Viagra users than those who do not use Viagra.
C. Accept H
0
and conclude there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that dyspepsia occurs at a
higher rate among Viagra users than those who do not
use Viagra.
D. Fail to reject H
0
and conclude there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that dyspepsia
occurs at a higher rate among Viagra users than those who do not use Viagra.
Data Summary | ||
n | Proportion | |
p1 | 734 | 51/734 = 0.06948229 |
p2 | 725 | 25/725 = 0.03034483 |
a) Proportion of Viagara users experiencing dyspepsia
p1 = 51/734 = 0.069
Answer :
B. 0.069
b) Since we want to test if Group 1 proportion is greater than Group 2 proportion
Answer :The null and alternative hypotheses are
C.
Ho : P1 ≤
P2
P1 and P2 are the population proportions for
Ha : P1 > P2
dyspepsia cases among Viagra users (group 1) and non-viagara group
(group 2)
c) z-statistic is calculated using following formulae
Pooled Proportion p̂
p̂ = 0 .050034
Standard Error SE
SE = 0 .011416
Test Statistic Z-statistic
Z-statistic = 3.43
Answer : Value of calculated z-statistic is
C. 3.43
d)
p-value
For z = 3.43, we find the Right Tailed p-value using Excel function
NORM.S.DIST
p-value = 1 - NORM.S.DIST(3.4284,
TRUE)
p-value = 0.0003
Answer : p-value is
A. 0.0003
e) Decision
0.0003 < 0.05
that is p-value <= α
Hence we REJECT Ho
Answer : Conclusion :
B. Reject Ho
and conclude there is sufficient evidence to support the
claim that dyspepsia occurs at a
higher rate among Viagra users than those who do not use Viagra
