Question

Cocaine produces short-term feelings of physical and mental well-being. But to maintain the effects, the drug has been taken more frequently and at higher doses. This can lead to addiction. After stopping the drug, users feel fatigued and depressed. A study compared rehabilitation rates of 74 cocaine addicted subjects for 3 treatments: antidepressant () standard (lithium) placebo (sugar pill) The number of individuals receiving each treatment who relapsed back into regular use was counted. The results are given in the 2x2 Chi-square table below. a. First, calculate the marginal and conditional probabilities from the raw data. Make 2 bar charts based on the conditional probabilities: one for the percent of individuals within each treatment group who relapsed, and one for the percent of individuals within each treatment group who did not relapse. b. Second, calculate the expected counts in each cell of the table, and then calculate a Chi-square value. Using the Chi Square Table from class, get a bounded P value for getting a Chi-square value that high or higher by chance alone. State the null and alternate hypotheses and your conclusions given the Chi-square test of hypotheses. c. Finally, enter the data into SPSS following the same structure as for the smoking example from class. Conduct the Chi-square test using the Crosstabs procedure as we did in class. State the results of the test.
