(1 point) Suppose a group of 1000 smokers (who all wanted to give up smoking) were randomly assigned to receive an antidepressant drug or a placebo for six weeks. Of the 184 patients who received the antidepressant drug, 39 were not smoking one year later. Of the 816 patients who received the placebo, 167 were not smoking one year later. Given the null hypothesis H0:(pdrug−pplacebo)=0 and the alternative hypothesis Ha:(pdrug−pplacebo)≠0, conduct a test to see if taking an antidepressant drug can help smokers stop smoking. Use α=0.01,

(a) The test statistic is ____

(b) The P-value is____

A. There is not sufficient evidence to determine whether the antidepressant drug had an effect on changing smoking habits after one year.

B. There seems to be evidence that the patients taking the antidepressant drug have a different success rate of not smoking after one year than the placebo group.

In one study of smokers who tried to quit smoking with nicotine patch therapy, 35 were smoking one year after treatment and 34 were not smoking one year after the treatment. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that among smokers who try to quit with nicotine patch therapy, the majority are smoking one year after the treatment. Do these results suggest that the nicotine patch therapy is noteffective? The test statistic for this hypothesis test is _...

Suppose you were asked to give a presentation to a group of parents-to-be who are participating in a prepared-childbirth class. Your topic is “effective parenting” or, put another way, “how to raise an energetic, friendly, cooperative, independent, self-reliant child.” Based on the material presented on various styles of parenting and child behaviour outcomes, what points would you stress to these parents-to-be? Provide a rationale for each of your choices.
