It has been observed that some persons who suffer acute heartburn, again suffer acute heartburn within one year of the first episode. This is due, in part, to damage from the first episode. The performance of a new drug designed to prevent a second episode is to be tested for its effectiveness in preventing a second episode. In order to do this two groups of people suffering a first episode are selected. There are 31 people in the first group and this group will be administered the new drug. There are 45 people in the second group and this group will be administered a placebo. After one year, 11% of the first group has a second episode and 9% of the second group has a second episode. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine, at the significance level 0.1, whether there is reason to believe that the true percentage of those in the first group who suffer a second episode is more than the true percentage of those in the second group who suffer a second episode? Select the [Alternative Hypothesis, Value of the Test Statistic].

We conclude that the true percentage of those in the first group who suffer a second episode is less than or equal to the true percentage of those in the second group who suffer a second episode.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are 31 people in the first group and this group will be administered the new drug. There are 45 people in the second group and this group will be administered a placebo.

After one year, 11% of the first group has a second episode and 9% of the second group has a second episode.

Let = true percentage of those in the first group who suffer a second episode.

= true percentage of those in the second group who suffer a second episode.

So, Null Hypothesis, : 0  or        {means that the true percentage of those in the first group who suffer a second episode is less than or equal to the true percentage of those in the second group who suffer a second episode}

Alternate Hypothesis, : > 0  or        {means that the true percentage of those in the first group who suffer a second episode is more than the true percentage of those in the second group who suffer a second episode}

The test statistics that will be used here is Two-sample z proportion test statistics;

                              T.S. =   ~ N(0,1)

where, = sample proportion of people in the first group who suffer a second episode = 11%

= sample proportion of people in the second group who suffer a second episode = 9%

= sample of people in first group = 31

= sample of people in second group = 45

So, the test statistics  =  

                                     =  0.283

Now, at 0.1 significance level, the z table gives critical value of 1.2816 for right-tailed test. Since our test statistics is less than the critical value of z as 0.283 < 1.2816, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the true percentage of those in the first group who suffer a second episode is less than or equal to the true percentage of those in the second group who suffer a second episode.

answer: what if i dont want to show my work boi.

step-by-step explanation: im watching dbz and eating popcorn leave meh alone

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1
