Clarinex is a drug used to treat asthma. In clinical tests of this drug, 1655 patients were treated with 5- mg doses of Clarinex, and 2.1% of them experienced fatigue (based on data from the Schering Corporation). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of Clarinex users experiencing fatigue is greater than the 1.2% rate for those not using Clarinex. Does it appear that fatigue is an adverse reaction of Clarinex?

Answer from: Meliiiii

$z=\frac{0.021 -0.012}{\sqrt{\frac{0.012(1-0.012)}{1655}}}=3.363$

p_v =P(z3.363)=0.00039

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.012 (1.2%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=1655 represent the random sample taken

$\hat p=0.021$ estimated proportion of interest

p_o=0.012 is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the significance level

Confidence=99% or 0.99

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that true proportions is higher than 0.012.:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.012$

Alternative hypothesis: p 0.012

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o .

Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.021 -0.012}{\sqrt{\frac{0.012(1-0.012)}{1655}}}=3.363$

Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.01$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

p_v =P(z3.363)=0.00039

Gas mileage actually varies slightly with the driving speed of a car (as well as with highway vs. city driving). suppose your car averages 33 miles per gallon on the highway if your average speed is 54 miles per hour, and it averages 22 miles per gallon on the highway if your average speed is 75 miles per hour. answer parts (a) and (b) below. a. what is the driving time for a 2000-mile trip if you drive at an average speed of 54 miles per hour? what is the driving time at 75 miles per hour? the driving time at 54 miles per hour is nothing hours. (type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.) the driving time is at 75 miles per hour is nothing hours. (round to two decimal places as needed.) b. assume a gasoline price of $3.33 per gallon. what is the gasoline cost for a 2000-mile trip if you drive at an average speed of 54 miles per hour? what is the gasoline cost at 75 miles per hour? the gasoline cost at 54 miles per hour is $ nothing. (round to two decimal places as needed.) the gasoline cost at 75 miles per hour is $ nothing. (round to two decimal places as needed.)
