A multicenter double-blind randomized study was carried out to compare the effect of drug X with that of a placebo in patients surviving acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Treatment with the drug started 7 days after infarction in 1,884 patients, 52% of all persons who were evaluated for entry into the study. 945 participants were randomized to treatment with drug X while 939 were assigned to the placebo group. Patients were then followed for 12 months for reinfarction. There were 152...

Each patient was assigned to either aspirin treatment or placebo treatment. Patients were followed for 3 years and the number of deaths due to heart attacks was determined for each group. Sample 1: (placebo group): n=684; number of deaths due to heart attacks-29 Sample 2: (aspirin group) n=676; number of deaths due to heart attacks-18 a. Calculate and...
) Researchers were interested to understand effects of lack of sleep on heart rate. Each person’s heart rate was recorded. 10 individuals were randomly selected and deprived sleep for 24 hours while 8 individuals were allowed to sleep for 24 hours. After the study time elapsed, each person’s heart beat was measured and recorded again. The heart rate differences were recorded in a table as follows: Deprived sleep -5 8 -4 3 9 7 4 -2 4 8 Allowed to...
