Pain medications sometimes come with side effects. One side effect is dizziness. A researcher wanted to determine if some pain medications produced more or less dizziness than others. The results from the study are shown in the table below. Use a test to determine if the proportion of people within each treatment group who experienced dizziness is different.

\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
& Toradol & Placebo & Naproxen & Tylenol & Advil \\
\hline
Dizziness & 83 & 32 & 36 & 5 & 8 \\
\hline
No dizziness & 4063 & 1832 & 1330 & 382 & 337 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

1. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Select the correct pair.

A. [tex]$H_o$[/tex]: The proportion of people within each treatment group who experienced dizziness is the same.
[tex]$H_a$[/tex]: The proportion of people within each treatment group who experienced dizziness is different.

B. [tex]$H_o$[/tex]: The proportion of people within each treatment group who experienced dizziness is independent.
[tex]$H_a$[/tex]: The proportion of people within each treatment group who experienced dizziness is dependent.

2. Determine the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimals.

[tex]$\chi^2 = \square$[/tex]

3. Determine the p-value. Round your answer to four decimals.

P-value [tex]$= \square$[/tex]

4. Make a decision.



Answer :

Let's go through the steps to solve this problem:

### 1) Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.

We want to determine if the proportion of people who experienced dizziness varies between different treatment groups.

- Null Hypothesis [tex]\(H_0\)[/tex]: The proportion of people within each treatment group who experienced dizziness is the same.
- Alternative Hypothesis [tex]\(H_a\)[/tex]: The proportion of people within each treatment group who experienced dizziness is different.

Therefore, the correct pair of hypotheses is:
[tex]\[ H_0 : \text{The proportion of people within each treatment group who experienced dizziness are the same} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ H_a : \text{The proportion of people within each treatment group who experienced dizziness are different} \][/tex]

### 2) Determine the test statistic.

The test statistic used here is the Chi-Square statistic. The Chi-Square statistic is calculated as:

[tex]\[ \chi^2 = 4.67 \][/tex]

### 3) Determine the p-value.

The p-value associated with the test statistic is a measure of the probability that the observed differences occurred by chance alone under the null hypothesis. The p-value calculated is:

[tex]\[ \text{P-value} = 0.3226 \][/tex]

### 4) Make a decision.

To make a decision, we compare the p-value to the significance level, [tex]\(\alpha\)[/tex]. Typically, [tex]\(\alpha\)[/tex] is set at 0.05 (5%).

- If the p-value is less than [tex]\(\alpha\)[/tex], we reject the null hypothesis.
- If the p-value is greater than or equal to [tex]\(\alpha\)[/tex], we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

In this case, the p-value is 0.3226, which is greater than 0.05. Hence, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

### Decision:

Based on the p-value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. This means that there is not enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of people who experienced dizziness differs significantly among the treatment groups.
