Obtain a point estimate population proportion of patients


Solve the following:

Q: In a trial of 185 patients who were given 10-mg of a drug daily, 48 reported headaches as a side effect.

A) Obtain a point estimate population proportion of patients who received 10-mg of a drug daily and reported headaches as a side effect.

B) Verify that the requirements for constructing a confidence interval for about p are satisfied?

a) Yes the requirements for constructing a confidence are satisfied

b) No the requirement that the sample size is no more than 5% of the population is not satisfied

c) No the requirement that np^(1-p^) is greater than 10 is not satisfied.

d) No the requirement that each trial be independent is not satisfied

C) Contract a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of patients who receive the drug and report headaches as a side effect.

D) Interpret the confidence level? Which statement best interprets the confidence level>

a) We are 90% confident that the interval contains the true value of p.

b) There is a 90% chance that the true value of p will not fall within the interval.

c) There is a 90% chance that the true value of p will fall within the interval.

d) We are 90% confident that the interval does not contains the true value of p.
