How good is your basic probability theory?
Many people think they are pretty good at basic
statistics and probability theory. So give this one some thought
...
Imagine there are two drugs, A and B, that might help cure a problem you have and you are given the following information. 1100 people took drug A and it helped 505 of them. And 1100 people took drug B and it helped 195 of them. I put this in the table below along with the percentage of people where each drug was a success. Assume you can't take both drugs and that neither drug has any ill effect, risk, or cost from taking it.
Which drug would you choose to take given this information?
Now let me provide a little extra information. In the study above, it turns out that for drug A, there were 100 males and it worked for 5 of them and for drug B there were 1000 males and it worked for 100 of them. From this information, and a little subtraction, I have filled out the two tables below.
For males
For females

Mobile phones kill early media? One can only hope
I love the mobile phones guys - first they
trained users that lousy voice quality really was OK. Then they got people to
understand that when they were done pressing all the digits in a phone number,
they had to press some some other send key before anything would happen.
