Clarinex is a drug used to treat asthma. In clinical tests of this drug, 1655 patients were treated with 5- mg doses of Clarinex, and 2.1% of them experienced fatigue (based on data from the Schering Corporation). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of Clarinex users experiencing fatigue is greater than the 1.2% rate for those not using Clarinex. Does it appear that fatigue is an adverse reaction of Clarinex?

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given we have so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.012 (1.2%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=1655 represent the random sample taken

estimated proportion of interest

is the value that we want to test

represent the significance level

Confidence=99% or 0.99

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that true proportions is higher than 0.012.:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitic, and the is given by:  

(1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion is significantly different from a hypothesized value .

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given we have so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.012 (1.2%)

the value of v.w= -12.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given three vector r,v and w as:

r = < 5, -5, -2> ; v = < 2, -8, -8> ; w = < -2, 6, -5>

we know that r,v and w could also be represented as:

r=5i-5j-2k

v=2i-8j-8k

and w= -2i+6j-5k

where i,j and k are the unit vectors of x,y and z-axis respectively.

also we know that it has the following property:

i.i=1 ; j.j=1; k.k=1

and i.=j.i=i.k=k.i=j.k=k.j=0

i.e. when we multiply two vectors or we find it's dot product we need to only multiply the components of x coordinates with each other; y with each other and z with each other.

hence, v.w= (2i-8j- -2i+6j-5k)

                  = 2×(-2)+(-8)×(6)+(-8)×(-5)

                  = -4-48+40

                  = -12

hence, v.w= -12
