    Part IV: TB Data Project

    Part A

    Table for the Success Rate data I collected in Part 1

    Treatment Success/Failure
    Success Failure Total
    Cabo Verde 92 8 100
    Czechia 68 32 100
    Member of WHO

    Gambia 84 16 100
    Lesotho 77 23 100
    Namibia 87 13 100
    Saint Lucia 25 75 100
    Seychelles 45 55 100
    South Africa 79 21 100
    South Sudan 84 16 100
    Venezuela 84 16 100
    Total 725 275 1,000

    Part B

    1. The probability that a randomly selected case is from the 5th or 6th member of WHO in
    my table.
    • The 5th and 6th members of WHO are Namibia and Saint Lucia, respectively.
    • Total cases for Namibia (5th member) = 100
    • Total cases for Saint Lucia (6th member) = 100
    • Total cases for both = 100 + 100 = 200
    • Total cases in the table = 1,000
    200
    • Probability = 1000 = 0.2

    2. The probability that a randomly selected case is from the 5th member of WHO in my
    table or is a failure
    • Total cases for Namibia (5th member) = 100
    • Total failures for Namibia = 13
    • Total failures across all countries = 275
    • Total cases in the table = 1,000
    100 275 375
    • Probability = + = = 0.375
    1000 1000 1000
    3. The probability that a randomly selected case is from the 5th member of WHO in my
    table and is a failure
    • Total failures for Namibia = 13
    • Total cases for Namibia (5th member) = 100
    13
    • Probability = 100 = 0.13

    4. The probability that a randomly selected case is from the 6th member of WHO in my
    table, given it is a failure
    • Total cases for Saint Lucia (6th member) = 100
    • Total failures for Saint Lucia = 75
    75
    • Probability = 275 ≈ 0.27

    5. The probability that three randomly selected cases (without replacement) are all
    successes from the 8th member of WHO in my table
    • Total cases for Saint Lucia (6th member) = 100
    • Total failures for Saint Lucia = 75
    75 78 77
    • Probability = 100 ∗ 99 ∗ 98 ≈0.489

    Part C
    Compute and Interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference between proportions of
    successful treatment for the 5th and 6th members of WHO in my table.

    Therefore, the 95% confidence interval for the difference between proportions of successful
    treatment for Namibia and Saint Lucia is approximately 0.513 to 0.727
    Part D

    To carry out a hypothesis test for whether there is a difference in the proportions of successful
    treatment for Namibia (5th member) and Saint Lucia (6th member), I’ll use a two-sample Z test,
    difference of proportions.

    • The Hypotheses that are being tested


    Null Hypothesis 𝐻𝑜 :The proportions of successful treatment for Namibia and Saint Lucia
    are equal.
    𝐻𝑜 : 𝑃𝑁𝑎𝑚𝑖𝑏𝑖𝑎 = 𝑃𝑆𝑡𝐿𝑢𝑐𝑖𝑎

    Alternative Hypothesis 𝐻𝐴 : The proportions of successful treatment for Namibia and


    Saint Lucia are not equal.
    𝐻𝐴 : 𝑃𝑁𝑎𝑚𝑖𝑏𝑖𝑎 ≠ 𝑃𝑆𝑡𝐿𝑢𝑐𝑖𝑎

    I'll use a significance level α of 0.05 for this hypothesis test.

    Test statistic ( Z) = 8.83


    P-value = 0

    If my P-value = 0 and α = 0.05

    I reject the null hypothesis.

    Conclusion:
    Based on the data, we have sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant
    difference in the proportions of successful treatment for Namibia and Saint Lucia.
