Answer 12

Great...link spammers

Answer 13

you can do an experimental study, take 100 people who are known to have heart disease and divide them randomly into two groups, 50 get the anti-inflammatory drug, and 50 get a placebo pill

Answer 14

I think there should be a limit to the number of links at any one time, or in a given time interval!

Answer 15

you expect that in the treatment group (the group that received the real pill) , there will be a higher proportion of successes than in the control group (the group that received the sugar pill)

Answer 16

and you can do hypothesis testing to determine if there is a significant difference (the difference in the proportions is unlikely due to chance)

Answer 18

the statistics here being the proportion of each group that have success , where we can define success as curing or improving heart disease

Answer 19

oh CrazyB|tchGirl does not exist, that was a pseudoname

Answer 20

so basically you take a sample of people whose hearts are failing. and you want to know if their hearts would improve if they took anti-inflammatory drugs.

Answer 22

so the population of interest is all humans with heart disease

Answer 23

it might turn out , surprisingly, that anti-inflammatory drugs make heart disease worse in your sample study than compared to placebo. But you dont expect that to happen. but it could happen due to chance, but its very unlikely

Answer 24

thats why statistical theory is important to determine how unlikely it would be to get the results you did, under the assumption there is no difference if you take inflammatory drugs or not (null hypothesis)
