There was an experiment done to people who want to quit smoking. Five volunteers were randomly split into a group of two and a group of three. If after a year the group with two people have sucessfully quit they'll receive a gift. The people in the other group will make a deposit of $100. If after a year they sucessfully quit they'll receive a gift and their money back, otherwise they lose their deposit. In each group there was one person who succesfully quit, the rest did not.
a) What is the observed test statistic?
b) Write all the possible permutations resamples and include the
calculation of the difference in sample proportions for each
resample.
c)What is the P-value of the observed test statistic?
a) The obseved test statistic is the people sucessfully quit they'll receive a gift and their money back.
b) The number of all possible of permutations is 5! / 2! 3! = 10
c) The P-value of the observed test statistic is 0.8

In one study of smokers who tried to quit smoking with nicotine patch therapy, 35 were smoking one year after treatment and 34 were not smoking one year after the treatment. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that among smokers who try to quit with nicotine patch therapy, the majority are smoking one year after the treatment. Do these results suggest that the nicotine patch therapy is not effective? UB. Ho: p=0.5 Hy: p=0.5 Xe Ho-p=0.5 Hu:...
a) [6 marks] Suppose a group of 900 smokers (who all wanted to quit smoking) were randomly assigned to receive an antidepressant drug or a placebo for six weeks. Of the 148 patients who received the antidepressant drug, 23 were not smoking one year later. Of the 752 patients who received placebo, 97 were not smoking one year later. Conduct a test of hypotheses (state H, and Ha) to see if taking an antidepressant drug can help smokers to quit...
In a smoking cessation program, over 2000 smokers who were trying to quit were randomly assigned to either a group program or an individual program. With no incentive, the proportion of smokers trying to quit who are still abstaining six months later is about 0.06. Participants in the study were randomly assigned to one of four different incentives, and the proportion successful was measured six months later. Of the 498 participants in the group with the least success, 47 were...
An experiment was designed in order to investigate whether antidepressants can help people quit smoking. The subjects in the experiment were 430 adults over the age of 18 years who were all highly motivated to quit smoking. Half of these subjects were randomly assigned to take 300 mg daily—for 45 weeks—of an antidepressant known as bupropion. The other half were randomly assigned to take a sugar pill daily for 45 weeks. The sugar pill looked like bupropion but did not...
Question Help . In one study of smokers who tried to quit smoking with nicotine patch therapy, 40 were smoking one year after treatment and 32 were not smoking one year after the treatment. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that among smokers who try to quit with nicotine patch therapy, the majority are smoking one year after the treatment. Do these results suggest that the nicotine patch therapy is not effective? Identify the null and alternative...
Suppose a group of 800 smokers (who all wanted to give up smoking) were randomly assigned to receive an antidepressant drug or a placebo for six weeks. Of the 116 patients who received the antidepressant drug, 21 were not smoking one year later. Of the 684 patients who received the placebo, 39 were not smoking one year later. Given the null hypothesis H0:(pdrug−pplacebo)=0H0:(pdrug−pplacebo)=0 and the alternative hypothesis Ha:(pdrug−pplacebo)≠0Ha:(pdrug−pplacebo)≠0, conduct a test to see if taking an antidepressant drug can help...
