Expert Solution

Let denote the proportion for surgery and splints respectively.

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the proportion for surgery is greater than the proportion for splints.

When treating carpal tunnel syndrome, should a patient be treated with surgery or should a splint be applied? In a study on this issue, 73 patients were treated with surgery and 83 were treated with a splint. After 12 months, success was noted in 67 patients that had surgery, whereas success was noted in only 60 of the patients that had a splint. Assume that the observations came from a SRS. a) (3 points) Construct an appropriate graphical summary to...

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common wrist complaint resulting from a compressed nerve. It is often the result of extended use of repetitive wrist movements, such as those associated with the use of a keyboard. Among the various treatments available, two are common: apply a splint or perform surgery. The splint treatment has the advantages of being noninvasive. simpler, quicker, and much less expensive. But do those advantages justify the splint treatment instead of the surgery treatment? A critical factor...

Claim: The treatment population and the placebo population have the same means. Treatment group: n=9, x¯=110, s=5.9. Placebo group: n=7, x¯=116,s=5.7. The test statistic is =___________ The positive critical value is =__________ The negative critical value is =________ Is there sufficient evidence to warrant the rejection of the claim that the treatment and placebo populations have...
