Probability screening model
Abstract:
A comparative analysis is given of various types of systems of selecting biologically active substances. A theoretical probability model of tests on chemical compounds for biological activity (screening) has been constructed which permits an evaluation of the efficacy of screening on the basis of fairly reasonable assumptions. It has been shown that this efficacy decreases in time with a fixed number of types of activity taken into consideration and rises sharply with an increase in the number of types of activity of chemical compounds taken into account in the tests.

Decision Making: P-value Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can have a...
Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
