7. The following data were collected in a clinical trial to compare a new drug to a placebo for its effectiveness in lowering total serum cholesterol. New Drug (n=75) Placebo (n=75) Total Sample (n=150) Mean (SD) Total Serum Cholesterol 182.0 (24.5) 206.3 (21.8) 194.15 (23.2) % Patients with Total Cholesterol < 200 78.0% 65.0% 71.5% a) Generate the 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean total cholesterol levels between treatments b) Generate a 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions of all patients with total cholesterol < 200. c) How many patients would be required to detect the difference in proportions observed in the current study with a confidence interval of 95%.

	New Drug (n=75)	Placebo (n=75)	Total Sample (n=150)
Mean (SD) Total Serum Cholesterol	182.0 (24.5)	206.3 (21.8)	194.15 (23.2)
% patients with total cholesterol <200	78.00%	65.00%	71.50%

Here proportion = 71.5% = 0.715

For X nearest value consider it as 0.72 and X = 108

1. The data in Table 7–6 were collected in a clinical trial to evaluate a new compound designed to improve wound healing in trauma patients. The new compound was compared against a placebo. After treatment for 5 days with the new compound or placebo, the extent of wound healing was measured. Is there a difference in the extent of wound healing between the treatments? (Hint: Are treatment and the percent wound healing independent?) Run the appropriate test at a 5%...

A clinical trial is run to look at the efficacy of a new blood pressure drug. Patients with a diagnosis of hypertension (high blood pressure) are recruited to participate in the trial and randomized to receive either the new drug or placebo. Participants take the assigned drug for 12 weeks and their blood pressure status is recorded. At the end of the trial, participants are classified as still having hypertension or not. The data are shown here: Group Number with...

2. A clinical trial is conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a new drug for prevention of hypertension in patients with pre-hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure between 120–139 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure between 80–89 mmHg). A total of 20 patients are randomized to receive the new drug or a currently available drug for treatment of high blood pressure. Participants are followed for up to 12 months, and time to progression to hypertension is measured. The experiences of participants...

A clinical trial is being conducted in order to determine the efficacy of a new drug that will be used to treat type II diabetes. The efficacy of the medication will be determined by the blood glucose readings obtained from the patients. If the researcher wants a margin of error less than or equal to 5 mg/dL and the standard deviation for blood glucose readings among type II diabetics was previous documented as 15 mg/dL, how many patients should be...
