Question

Read passage below and using statistical notation draw up appropriate null and alternative hypotheses (H_oand H_A). Carefully define the symbols you use (like πor μ)

“The objective of the randomized placebo controlled clinical trial is to determine if using a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) reduces the incidence of sleep apnea in heart failure patients”

Answer 1

H0: Null Hypothesis:

HA: Alternative Hypothesis:    (Claim)

where

= Numerical value of the incidence of sleep apnea in heart failure patients using a proton pump inhibitor (PPI)

= Numerical value of the incidence of sleep apnea in heart failure patients without using a proton pump inhibitor (PPI)
