Question
Need to see the work breakdown for this question and answer to the multiple choice after. The following
data were collected in a clinical trial evaluating a new compound designed to improve wound healing in trauma patients. The new compound is compared against a placebo. After treatment for 5 days with the new compound or placebo the extent of wound healing is measured and the data are shown below.
| Percent Wound Healing | ||||
| Treatment | 0-25% | 26-50% | 51-75% | 76-100% |
| New Compound () | 15 | 37 | 32 | 41 |
| Placebo () | 36 | 45 | 34 | 10 |
Is there a difference in the extent of wound healing by treatment? (Hint: Are treatment and the percent wound healing independent?) Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance.
df= ________
alpha= ________
Reject H0 if χ2>________
Compute expected frequencies
Expected Frequency = (Row Total * Column Total)/N.
Complete the expected frequencies for each cell.
