A new post-surgical treatment is being compared with a standard treatment. Seven subjects receive the new treatment, while seven others (the controls) receive the standard treatment. The recovery times, in days, are given below.

New Treatment Standard

12 18

13 23

15 24

19 30

20 32

21 35

24 39

Can you conclude that the mean recovery time for patients who receive the new treatment is less than the mean for patients who receive the standard treatment? Use a=.05.

Answer from: portielesc

$t=\frac{17.71-28.71}{\sqrt{\frac{4.461^2}{7}+\frac{7.387^2}{7}}}}=-3.372$

$df=n_{S}+n_{N}-2=7+7-2=12$

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{(12)}$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the mean time for the new treatment is significantly lower than the time for the standard treatment at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

New: 12, 13,15,19,20,21

Standard: 18,23,24,30,32,35

We can calculate the sample mean and deviation with the following formulas:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

$s= \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

Data given and notation

$\bar X_{N}=17.71$ represent the mean for the new case

$\bar X_{S}=28.71$ represent the mean for the standard case

$s_{N}=4.461$ represent the sample standard deviation for the new case

$s_{S}=7.387$ represent the sample standard deviation for the standard case

$n_{S}=7$ sample size selected for the standard case

$n_{N}=7$ sample size selected for the new case

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if recovery time for patients who receive the new treatment is less than the mean for patients who receive the standard treatment, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_{N} \geq \mu_{S}$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_{N} < \mu_{S}$

If we analyze the size for the samples both are less than 30 so for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X_{N}-\bar X_{S}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{N}}{n_{N}}+\frac{s^2_{S}}{n_{S}}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{17.71-28.71}{\sqrt{\frac{4.461^2}{7}+\frac{7.387^2}{7}}}}=-3.372$

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

$df=n_{S}+n_{N}-2=7+7-2=12$

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{(12)}$

Carla was trying to decide what to do saturday evening. she has $100 available to spend for the evening. she has narrowed her choices down to these events: braves game, a concert of an artist she likes, or the georgia aquarium. admission to the braves game is $25, hot dogs cost $10, sodas cost $5. the concert costs $25 for admission, $20 for a souvernir t-shirt, and $10 for a soda. the georgia aquarium has the show of a lifetime with an all you can eat and drink that costs $100. carla does not want to take any driving chances, so in addition to the cost of the aquarium, she will also need to pay for her uber/lyft, which is $15 each way. which option should carla choose if she wants to spend the least? based on that choice, what then is carla's oppotunity cost? fully explain your answer in at least one paragraph.
