We are testing a new prescription drug that cures the common cold. One of the side effects of the drug is insomnia (can’t sleep). There is a 6% chance the patient will develop insomnia. We have selected 50 people and administered the drug to them and asked if they developed insomnia. Define the random variable x to be the number of people who develop insomnia. Showing your work in Excel as demonstrated in class, what is the probability that x...

A drug tester claims that a drug cures a rare skin disease 84​% of the time. The claim is checked by testing the drug on 100 patients. If at least 80 patients are​ cured, the claim will be accepted.

A drug tester claims that a drug cures a rare skin disease 82​% of the time. The claim is checked by testing the drug on 100 patients. If at least 79 patients are​ cured, the claim will be accepted. Find the probability that the claim will be rejected assuming that the​ manufacturer's claim is true. Use the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution if possible.

Suppose XER Inc. is a monopoly that produces a drug that cures the common cold. The weekly (inverse) market demand* for its product takes the form P=580-6Q, where Q is measured as the number of tablets. The marginal and average costs are $100 per tablet. Solve for: (a)  Solve for the weekly level of output (measured in the number of tablets per week) that will be produced by XER Inc. if it maximizes profits (b) Solve for (i) the profit-maximizing price-per...

A researcher tests a new drug on a sample of known schizophrenic patients, hypothesizing it will reduce their symptoms. After the drug trial their symptom scores are assessed (higher scores = more disordered, lower scores = more healthy). This score is converted into a z score of -2.11. The researcher used an alpha of .05. a. What is the p-value for this study? b. What do you conclude from this test? c. What does the p value mean or what...

A researcher used a new drug to treat 183 subjects with high sodium. For the patients in the study, after six (6) months of treatment the average decrease in sodum level was 5.879 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L). Assume that the decrease in sodium in a human after six months of taking the drug follows a Normal distribution with an unknown mean and a standard deviation of 2.615 mEq/L. Find the margin of error for a 70% confidence interval for the...
