Two different pain reliever drugs, “Drug A” and “Drug B,” are developed to relieve arthritis pain. A clinical study recruits 15 individuals with arthritis. The individuals are given each drug on different days and the number of hours of pain relief for each drug is recorded. This data is in the “arthritis.csv” data file. a) State the appropriate hypotheses to test if there is a difference in the hours of pain relief for Drug A versus Drug B, using “Drug A” as sample 1. b) Use RStudio and report a 93% confidence interval for the difference. Based on this confidence interval, what conclusion can be reached with respect to the hypotheses in a)?

Exercise 3.11 A new drug is being used to relieve the pain of arthritis. However, the drug may reduce a patient’s heartbeat too much. To investigate the drugs effect on a person’s heartbeat, different dosages of the drug were given to six patients, and 30 minutes later, the decrease in each patient’s heartbeat was recorded. Dosage X = (2.0, 1.5, 3.0, 2.5, 4.0, 3.0) measured in ml.?Decrease Y = (15, 20, 18, 16, 19, 17) measured in beat per minute...

A clinical trial is conducted comparing a new pain reliever for arthritis to a placebo. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the new treatment or a placebo and the outcome is pain relief within 30 minutes. Of the 120 participants who received the new medication, 44 reported pain relief, while 21 out of the 120 participants who received the placebo reported pain relief. Is there a significant difference in the proportions of patients reporting pain relief? Run the test...

A drug manufacturer uses two production facilities to produce a pain reliever. The amount of the active ingredient of the drug in the capsules at the two facilities, X1 and X2, are normally distributed random variables. The desire of the quality control manager is that the population mean amounts of the active ingredient in the capsules, μ1 and μ2, be equal. Recent tests on small samples have indicated a noticeable increase in the amount of the active ingredient in capsules...

Question 5 Two new drugs are under development (drug A, drug B) with different mechanisms of action for treating high cholesterol. These two groups were used in a clinical trial along with a placebo control group.There were 21 patients with high cholesterol available, and 7 were randomized to each treatment group.The reductions in cholesterol level from baseline (as a percentage of baseline) are shown in the table below. We want to know if either of the two drug groups is...
