1. A clinical trial is planned to compare an experimental medication designed to lower blood pressure to a placebo. Before starting the trial, a pilot study is conducted involving 10 participants. The objective of the study is to assess how systolic blood pressure changes over time untreated. Systolic blood pressures are measured at baseline and again 4 weeks later. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the difference in blood pressures over 4 weeks. Baseline 120 145 130 160 152 143 126 121 115 135 4 Weeks 122 142 135 158 155 140 130 120 124 130

A clinical trial is planned to compare an experimental medication designed to lower blood pressure to a placebo. Before starting the trial, a pilot study is conducted involving seven participants. The objective of the study is to assess how systolic blood pressure changes over time untreated. Systolic blood pressures are measured at baseline and again 4 weeks later. Is there a statistically significant difference in blood pressures over time? Run the test at a 5% level of significance.

A clinical trial is planned to compare an experimental medication designed to lower blood pressure to a placebo. From 100 patients in the experimental medication group, the proportion of hypertensive subjects was 14%. From 100 patients in the placebo group, the proportion of hypertensive subjects was 22%. Generate a 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions of hypertension between groups. The upper and lower bounds for the confidence interval are A. (-0.593, -0.129) B. (-0.083, 0.032) C. (0.023, 0.148) D. (-0.186, 0.026)

A clinical trial is conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a new drug for prevention of hypertension in patients with prehypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure between 120 mmHg and 139 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure between 80 mmHg and 89 mmHg). A total of 20 patients are randomized to receive the new drug or a currently available drug for treatment of high blood pressure. Participants are followed for up to 12 months, and time to progression to hypertension is measured. The experiences of participants in each arm of the trial are shown in Table 11–28.
