The objective of a randomized controlled trial by Adab et al. (A-19) was to determine whether providing women with additional information on the pros and cons of screening for cervical cancer would increase the willingness to be screened. A treatment group of 138 women received a leaflet on screening that contained more information (average individual risk for cervical cancer, likelihood of positive finding, the possibility of false positive/negative results, etc.) than the standard leaflet developed by the British National Health Service that 136 women in a control group received. In the treatment group, 109 women indicated they wanted to have the screening test for cervical cancer while in the control group, 120 indicated they wanted the screening test.

  1. construct a 95 percent confidence interval for proportion for each of the two populations represented by these samples.

A study of randomized controlled trial of animals facilitated therapy with dolphins in the treatment of (mild and moderate) depression collected the data as follows: Depression Improved Treatment Yes No Total Dolphin 10 5 15 Control 3 12 15 Total 13 17 30 Is the distribution of patients' depression significantly different between dolphin treatment and control treatment? Is there a treatment effect or could such a difference be explained by chance? Use the 8 step procedure to answer this question.

5. A randomized controlled trial is run to evaluate the effectiveness of a new drug for asthma in children. A total of 250 children are randomized to either the new drug or placebo (125 per group). The mean age of children assigned to the new drug is 12.4 with a standard deviation of 3.6 years. The mean age of children assigned to the placebo is 13.1 with a standard deviation of 4.0 years. Is there a statistically significant difference in...

Spertus et al. performaed a randomized single blind study for subjects with stable coronary artery disease. They randomized subjects into two treatments groups. The first group had current angina medications optimized and the second group was tapered off existing medications and then started on long-acting diltiazem at 180mg/day. The researchers performed several tests to determine if there were significant differences in the two treatment groups at baseline. One of the characteristics of interest was the difference in the percentages of...

. In a randomized controlled​ trial, insecticide-treated bednets were tested as a way to reduce malaria. Among 332 infants using​ bednets, 15 developed malaria. Among 270 infants not using​ bednets, 22 developed malaria. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the incidence of malaria is lower for infants using bednets. Do the bednets appear to be​ effective? Conduct the hypothesis test by using the results from the given display. Difference= p(1)-p(2) Estimated for difference: -0.0363008 95% upper...

In a randomized controlled trial in Kenya, insecticide treated bed nets were tested as a way to reduce malaria. Among 343 infants using bed nets, 15 developed malaria. Among 294 infants not using bed nets, 27 developed malaria (based on data from “Sustainability of Reductions in Malaria Transmission and Infant Mortality in Western Kenya with use of insecticide treated bed nets, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 291, No. 21) a) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference...
