Clinical trial (a) There are several methods to assign treatments to patients in comparative clinical trials. Commonly used methods include pure randomization ,permutted blocks and within strata. Briefly describe each of these technique for which the institution ,the sex,and age of the patient (under 50 years of age versus over 50 years of age) are factors that could be taken into account at the time of randomization.

Patients in a clinical trial for a new cancer treatment are classified as permanently cured, in remission
Patients in a clinical trial for a new cancer treatment are classified as permanently cured, in remission (the cancer is present, but not growing), sick (the cancer is growing), or deceased. After one year of treatment, 1/3 of sick patients go into remission, another 1/3 are permanently cured, and, unfortunately, 1/3 are deceased. Patients in remission also receive treatment after a year of which 1/4 remain in remission, 1/2 are permanently cured, and 1/4 decline to the sick condition (a) Formulate...

In a clinical trial, 50 patients who received a new medication are randomly selected. It was found that 10 of them suffered serious side effects from this new medication. Let p denote the population proportion of patients suffered serious side effects from this new medication. Find the minimum sample size needed to estimate the population proportion p with 90% confidence such that the estimate is accurate within 0.04 of p.
