The study you are reading states: subjects taking a B. yes, because the confidence interval does not include 1.0. for Odds Ratio the
medication compared to a placebo showed significant confident interval can't include 1(with in the range in this case 1.11to 4.20) or there
improvement after 6 months (OR(odds Ratio) 2.16, 95% would be no difference between the comparisons. the CI doesn't include 1 and
Cl(confidence intervals)=1.11 to 4.20, P(probability)=.02) therefore the data is significant
do you agree with the researcher's conclusion?
A. yes, because the odds ratio is greater than o
B. yes, because the confidence interval does not include
1.0
C. No, because the result is not statistically significant
D. no because more information from the results are
needed to determine.

practices of her patients. the NP makes a list of all adult
patients seen in the past 6 months. By assigning a number
to each name and using a table of random numbers, the
NP selects 100 patients to invite to participate in the study.
