Use R to code the following:
Problem 1 (8.3)
A new drug therapy is tested. Of 50 patients in the study, 40 had
no recurrence in their illness after 18 months. With no drug
therapy, the expected percentage of no recurrence would have been
75%. Does the data support the hypothesis that this percentage has
increased? What is the p-value?

(1 point) A new drug to lower total cholesterol is being tested. A study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of the drug. Sixteen patients agree to participate in the study and each is asked to take the new drug for 4 weeks. Before starting the treatment, each patient's total cholesterol level is measured. After taking the drug for 4 weeks, each patient's total cholesterol level is measured again. The 99% confidence interval for the change in total cholesterol (After...
Problem 1 The following data are from a research project on the effectiveness of a drug in reducing LDL cholesterol levels. While some patients in the study are assigned to the drug, others were given a placebo. Because the information about who is receiving the actual drug is kept confidential from those taking LDL measurements, that information is kept in a separate data set. Given below in Data Set A are the initial LDL cholesterol level of each individual before...
3. Binomial Test: A new medication that is designed to decrease anxiety was tested on 87 individuals that have been diagnosed with chronic depression. After the study. 36 of the test subjects reported a noticeable decrease in their anxiety and the other 51 subjects reported that they had noticed no change in their anxiety levels. Perform a binomial test on this dataset to determine whether or not the drug decreases anxiety in people with chronic depression. Reference Sections 18.1 and...
A new fever-reducing drug is being tested on 30 people. The ‘Problem 8’ show the time to relief (in minutes) for three ethnic groups divided by sex. Use 2-way ANOVA to see if there is (a) a difference between the means in the three groups; (b) a difference between male and female means; and (c) if there is any interaction between sex and ethnic group in the average time to relief for each group. (a) test statistic: (a) p-value: (a)...
Using R, code the following: Problem 2 (8.9 modified) A study of the average salaries of New York City residents was conducted for 770 different jobs. It was found that massage therapists average $58,260 in yearly income. Suppose the study surveyed 25 massage therapists and had a standard deviation of $3,250. Perform a significance test of the null hypothesis that the average massage therapist makes $55,000 per year against the one-sided alternative that it is more. Assume the data is...
An over-the-counter drug manufacturer wants to examine the effectiveness of a new drug in curing an illness most commonly found in older patients. Thirteen patients are given the new drug and 13 patients are given the old drug. To avoid bias in the experiment, they are not told which drug is given to them. To check how the effectiveness depends on the age of patients, the following data have been collected. To examine the differences between salaries of male and...

Scientists conducted an experiment in 2008 to determine side effects of a new drug. Before starting the weight, age, height, allergies, and gender. The scientists gave half of the patients a placebo (fake drug) and the on months the patients reported back and their weights were reevaluated. Moreover, the scientists asked about any side all variables...
Therapy Study " A hospital administrator wishes to assess the relationship between a patient's level of anxiety (x) and that patient's level of satisfaction (y) with a new hospital treatment.
