QUESTION 1:
You have an SRS of 16 observations from a Normally distributed population.
What critical value (±±0.001) would you use to obtain a 99%
confidence interval for the mean μμ of the population?
QUESTION 2:
The placebo effect is particularly strong in patients with
Parkinson's disease. To understand the workings of the placebo
effect, scientists measure activity at a key point in the brain
when patients receive a placebo that they think is an active drug
and also when no treatment is given. The same six patients are
measured both with and without the placebo, at different times. The
six differences (treatment minus control) had x¯¯¯x¯ = -0.321 and
s = 0.177.
The value of the t statistic (±0.01) is .
Is there significant evidence of a difference between treatment and
control?
