TB Data Project

Part 1:

A. Sample selection: Algeria, Ghana, Germany, Finland, Jordan, Oman, Argentina, Brazil,
Bangladesh, China.

Sampling method: Stratified sampling- the sample selection was created by organizing 194
countries that are members of WHO by the continent which they exist on, and then through
random sampling two countries were selected from each continent.

conclusion: there is insufficient evidence to determine that the global threshold for successful treatment
of TB is not equal to 85%, therefore the null hypothesis cannot be rejected.
