ANSWER FOR QUESTION 3

3a) Answer

i) N = 192 +186 + 188 = 566 #

ii) Qualitative and Nominal

iii) 12 weeks

3b) Answer

P (placebo) = n (placebo) ÷ total

= 192 ÷ 566

Probability is = 33.9 %

6
3c) Answer

3e) Answer

P (not placebo or Sinus headache)

= n (not placebo + sinus headache) ÷ total
