In a double blind experiment, long term pain care patients
\nIn a double blind experiment, long term pain care patients were randomly assigned to either take Embeda (Morphine sulfate and Naltrexone hydrochloride) or Kadian
\n(Morphine sulfate) for a 6 week period, participants were given an appropriate starting dosage of the medication based on their previous therapy dosing determined by
\ntheir respective physician. Of 24 people given Embeda, 14 were able to manage their pain with the starting dosage at the end of the 6 week, whereas in the Kadian
\ngroup, only 4 of 24 were able to manage their pain with the starting dosage at the end of the 6 week period. Whether a patient maintains the same dose throughout the 6
\nweek period is of particular importance to researchers, as it suggests the medication is stable\/effective for pain management.<\/p>\n

Compute the proportion of the overall sample (all 48 participants) that maintained the same medication dosage.
\nOf the 24 participants assigned to Embeda, what proportion maintained the same medication dosage? Use correct notation.
\nOf the 24 participants assigned to the Kadian, what proportion maintained the same medication dosage? Use correct notation.
\nCalculate the sample difference in proportions. Use correct notation.
\nInterpret the sample difference in proportions in the context of the study.
\nCalculate the sample relative risk of maintaining the same medication dosage for the Embeda group compared to the Kadian group.
\nInterpret the sample relative risk in the context of the study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
