In 1954, Jonas Salk conducted a large-scale controlled experiment involving over 400,000 children to test the effectiveness of a polio vaccine. Each child was randomly assigned to either a control group or an experimental group. Children in the control group were injected with salt water (a placebo); children in the experimental group were injected with the polio vaccine. The experiment was double-blind, meaning that neither the participants nor the researchers knew to which group each child was assigned. Every test subject was followed for six months. Required:
a. What was the point of giving saline solution to the children who didn't get the vaccine? Explain briefly.
b. Would it have been possible to run this experiment in a double-blinded fashion?

Asample of 200 rom computer chips was selected on each of 30 consecutive days, and the number of nonconforming chips on each day was as follows: the data has been given so that it can be copied into r as a vector. non. conforming = c(10, 15, 21, 19, 34, 16, 5, 24, 8, 21, 32, 14, 14, 19, 18, 20, 12, 23, 10, 19, 20, 18, 13, 26, 33, 14, 12, 21, 12, 27) #construct a p chart by using the following code. you will need to enter your values for pbar, lcl and ucl. pbar = lcl = ucl = plot(non. conforming/200, ylim = c(0,.5)) abline(h = pbar, lty = 2) abline(h = lcl, lty = 3) abline(h = ucl, lty = 3)
