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

3e) Answer
P (not placebo or Sinus headache)
= n (not placebo + sinus headache) ÷ total
= (186 +188)/566 + 11 / 566
