Instructions Read the scenario below, and answer the next 2 questions that follow based on this scenario.  Scenario A hospital wants to evaluate whether a new type of physical therapy speeds up recovery for patients with knee injuries compared to the standard therapy. The hospital selects 100 patients with similar knee injuries. Half of the patients are randomly assigned to receive the new therapy, while the other half receive the standard therapy. The doctors and patients do not know which therapy each patient receives to prevent bias. After six weeks, the recovery progress of all patients is measured and compared.

Instructions Read the scenario below, and answer the next 2 questions that follow based on this scenario.  Scenario A pharmaceutical company is testing a new drug that is expected to reduce cholesterol levels in patients by an average of 15%. The company conducts a clinical trial with 200 patients over a six-month period. According to the results, the average reduction in cholesterol levels for these patients is 14%, with a standard deviation of 3%. A simulation model predicts that 90% of patients should experience a cholesterol reduction between 12% and 18%. The company wants to evaluate whether the trial results are consistent with the model’s prediction.
