Statistical Analysis Of A Case Study On Oral Contraceptive Pill

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the health ailments experienced by individuals taking oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) compared to a control group. The research was conducted using a paired t-test to determine the difference in means between the two groups. The sample included 18 individuals in both the OCP-taking group and the control group. The mean health ailments score for the OCP group was significantly higher (M = 21.72, Variance = 278.45) compared to the control group (M = 7.33, Variance = 66.12). The Pearson correlation between the two samples was 0.67, indicating a moderate positive correlation. The t-test results showed a t Stat of 4.78 with a p-value of 0.0001 for a two-tailed test, indicating a statistically significant difference between the two groups (t Critical two-tail = 2.11). These findings suggest that individuals taking OCPs experience significantly more health ailments compared to those in the control group. Further research is recommended to explore the specific health impacts of OCP use.
