An experiment is designed to test the potency of a drug on 10 rats. Previous animal studies have shown that a 10-mg dose of the drug is lethal 5% of the time.

  1. What is the probability that exactly 0 rats will die?
  2. What is the probability that 1 or more rats will die?
  3. What is the mean (or the expected number of deaths) and standard deviation for this probability distribution?

An experiment was done to test the effectiveness of a drug that is being considered for possible use in the treatment of people who experience chronic anxiety. Fifty people who are chronically anxious are identified through a local health clinic, and all 50 people give their informed consent to participate in the experiment. Twenty-five people are randomly assigned to the experimental group, and they receive the new drug. The other 25 people are randomly assigned to the control group, and...

An experiment was conducted to observe the effect of an increase in temperature on the potency of an antibiotic. Three 1-ounce portions of the antibiotic were stored for equal lengths of time at each of the following Fahrenheit temperatures: 40, 55, 70, and 90. The potency readings observed at the end of the experimental period were Potency reading, y: 49 38 27 24 38 33 19 28 16 18 23 Temperature, x: 40 40 40 55 55 55 70 70...

An experiment was conducted to test the effect of a new drug on a viral infection. After the infection was induced in 100 mice, the mice were randomly split into two groups of 50. The control group received no treatment for the infection, while the other group received the drug. After a 30-day period, the proportions of survivors, p̂1 and p̂2, in the two groups were found to be 0.38 and 0.66, respectively. (a) Is there sufficient evidence to indicate...

A researcher has developed a new drug designed to reduce blood pressure. In an experiment, 21 subjects were assigned randomly to the treatment group, and received the new experimental drug. The other 23 subjects were assigned to the control group, and received a standard, well known treatment. After a suitable period of time, the reduction in blood pressure for each subject was recorded. A summary of these data is:                                                                                     n          x?         s                         Treatment group (new drug):               21        23.48   8.01...
