A randomised controlled trial was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a new eye drop to reduce eye pain in patients suffering from a systemic condition affecting both eyes. Each patient received the prescribed dose of the new eye drop in one eye and the same dose of an existing drop in the other eye. The investigators randomised which eye was treated with the new eye drop and which received the existing eye drop. 45 patients were asked to rate...

1. In a clinical trial for the effectiveness of a new treatment for the flu, some people were given the new treatment while others received a placebo, Of the 400 people that were given the new treatment, 300 of them saw improvements. Of the 169 people that received the placebo, 120 saw improvements.

A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug for treatment insomnia in older subjects. Before treatment, 13 subjects had a mean wake time of 102.0 min. After treatment, the 13 subjects had a mean wake time of 92.4 min and a standard deviation of 22.1 min. Assume that 13 samples value appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean wake time for a population with drug...

3. A clinical trial examined the effectiveness of aspirin in the treatment of cerebral ischemia(stroke). Patients were randomized into treatment and control groups. The study wasdouble-blind. After six months of treatment, the attending physicians evaluated eachpatient’s progress as either favorable or unfavorable. Of the 78 patients in the aspiringroup, 63 had favorable outcomes; 43 of the 77 control patients had favorable outcomes.(A) The physicians conducting the study had concluded from previous research theaspirin was likely to increase the chance of...

A clinical trial is planned to compare an experimental medication designed to lower blood pressure to a placebo. Before starting the trial, a pilot study is conducted involving 7 participants. The objective of the study is to assess how systolic blood pressure changes over time untreated. Systolic blood pressures are measured at baseline and again 4 weeks later. Is there a statistically significant difference in blood pressures over time? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Baseline           120     ...
