A study considered whether daily consumption of garlic could
A study considered whether daily consumption of garlic could reduce tick bites. The study used a crossover design where half of the subjects used placebo first and garlic second and half the reverse. The authors described garlic being more effective with 49 subjects and placebo being more effective with 38 subjects. Does this suggest a real difference between garlic and placebo, or are the results consistent with random variation? Complete parts a through d below a. Identify the relevant variable and parameter A. The relevant variable is whether garlic or placebo is more effective, and the parameter is the population proportion, p, those for whom placebo is more effective than garlic O B. The relevant variable is the population proportion, p, those for whom garlic is more effective than placebo. The parameter is whether garlic or placebo is more effective ° C. The relevant variable is whether garlic or placebo is more effective, and the parameter is the population proportion, p, those for whom garlic is more effective than placebo b. State hypotheses for a large-sample two sided test Ho:p= 0.5 Ha: p 0.5 Ha: p= 0.5 O B. Ho:p= 0.5 Ha: p> 0.5 OE. HUP#0.5 Ha: p= 0.5 ° C. Ho: p
