Question

A pharmaceutical company advertises that in a recent experiment in which their brand of condoms (Brand X) was compared with the other four leading brands of condoms (Other), their condos (Brand X) were rated higher in overall satisfaction and durability than the other condoms (Other). In this experiment, 100 volunteer subjects were randomly assigned to try one of the five condoms during their next sexual experience. Subsequently, the subjects completed a questionnaire about a number of characteristics related to the condom, such as overall satisfaction and durability. What is the appropriate analysis?

Answer 1

The appropriate analysis for comparing the overall satisfaction and durability of Brand X condoms with other leading brands is a hypothesis test.

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate analysis for comparing the overall satisfaction and durability of Brand X condoms with other leading brands is a hypothesis test.

A hypothesis test is used to determine if there is enough evidence to support a claim or if it is just due to random chance. In this case, the null hypothesis would be that there is no difference in overall satisfaction and durability between Brand X and the other leading brands of condoms.

The appropriate statistical test would depend on the specific data collected and the research question being asked.
