1. Solve the equation for the exact weight

x

:

-125 + 7x - 4x + 5(x+1) = 7(x+5) + 15

Simplify:

-125 + 8x + 5 = 7x + 50

Combine like terms:

-120 + 8x = 7x + 50

Isolate

x

:

x = 170

His actual weight was

170 kg

2. Calculate 30% of the weight:

0.30 \times 170 = 51 \text{ kg}

He needs to loose

51 kg

3. Subtract the weight to lose from the original weight:

170 - 51 = 119 \text{ kg}

His current weight after loosing 30% weight is

119 kg

So you need to lose 51 kg, and your new weight would be 119 kg.

Your boss asks you to plan the sample size for a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial in the clinical development of a cure for irritable bowl disease. Current standard treatment shall be compared with a new treatment in this trial. The S3-guideline of AWM demonstrated a mean change of the summary score of the validated health related quality of life questionnaire at 8 weeks of 16 with standard deviation 23 under standard treatment. You quote the drop-out rate of 11% from literature (previous phase of clinical development). Your research yielded a clinically important effect of 4 that has been found to be the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID). In order to demonstrate superiority of the new treatment over standard of care, you assume that the change in of the summary score of the validated health related quality of life questionnaire follows a normal distribution, and that the standard deviation is the same for both treatments. How many patientes would one need to recruit for the trial to demonstrate the clinically interesting difference between treatments at significance level 5% with 95% power?
