1. À test for a certain disease is found to be 95% accurate, meaning that it will correctly diagnose the disease in 95 out of 100 people who have the ailment. The test is also 95% accurate for a negative result, meaning that it will correctly exclude the disease in 95 out of 100 people who do not have the ailment. For a certain segment of the population, the incidence of the disease is 4%. (1)r (Hint: define appropriate events and use Bayes Theorem): (2) person actually has the disease, given that the test is positive; (3) correct. Hence, You can conclude that there is only a much smaller probability to claim "the person really has the disease" after knowing that "the test is positive", though the test has 95% "correctness". Explain this difference. If a person tests positive, find the probability that the person actually has the disease Now suppose the incidence of the disease is 49%. Compute the probability that the The probability you obtained in (1) is much smaller than 0.95, if your computation is Medical Science

Phosphorous is a chemical that is found in many household cleaning products. Unfortunately, phosphorous also finds its way into surface water, where it can harm fish, plants, and other wildlife. Two methods of phosphorous reduction are being studied. At a random sample of 7 locations, both methods were used and the total phosphorous reduction (mg/L) was recorded. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value a small amount and thereby produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.

Use α = 0.05. (Let d = Method I − Method II.) (i) What is the level of significance? What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round…
Suppose that you plot the residuals for your sample and get Figure 2. You should conclude that Select one: a. possibly homoskedastic and you would perform a correction for homoskedasticity. b. likely homoskedastic. c. possibly heteroskedastic and you would perform a formal test for heteroskedasticity. d. definitely heteroskedastic.
Dandelions have effects on crop production and lawn growth and are studied. In one region, the mean number of dandelions per square meter was found to be 10.8.Find the probability of no dandelions in an area of 1 m².P(X=0)=P(X=0)= Find the probability of at least one dandelion in an area of 1 m².P(at least one) = Find the probability of at most two dandelions in an area of 1 m².P(X≤2)=P(X≤2)=
The next six questions refer to the following scenario: A random sample of 25 students were asked to self-identify as "statistics-lovers" or "statistics-adorers." 16 students self-identified as "lovers" and 9 students as "adorers." Below table summarizes the mean of a statistics test and standard deviation that was given after the self-identification. Test the following hypothesis at alpha=5% (0.05). HO: Mean Statistics Lovers = Mean Statistics Adorers HA: Mean Statistics Lovers Mean Statistics Adorers You can assume equal variance.

Katie is interested if an association exists between age and sleep habits. She selects a random sample of 68 adults in three age groups and determines whether they sleep less than 7 hours, between 7 and 8 hours, or more than 8 hours each night. She would like to determine if there is convincing evidence of an association. Let = 0.05. What are the hypotheses for this test? H0: There is an association between age and sleep habits.Ha: There is no association between age and sleep habits. H0: There is no association between age and sleep habits.Ha: There is an association between age and sleep habits. H0: There is no difference in the distribution of age and sleep habits.Ha: There is a difference in the distribution of age and sleep habits. H0: There is a difference in the distribution of age and sleep habits.Ha: There is no difference in the distribution of age and sleep habits.

2. The difference between the two groups has been declared statistically significant at the a = 0.05 level. Use the "No Adolescent Marijuana" group to determine a suitable p0, and then test the hypothesis: HO: p ≤ p0 HA: p > p0 where p is the population proportion (conceptualized) of all adolescent marijuana users who would develop schizophrenia. Show all your work. Are the results statistically significant as claimed? Make sure you report the standard score, a p-value, your conclusion, and a comment on what statistical risk has been taken and controlled for in this testing process. Percent Developing Schizophrenia 7%- 6%- 5%- 4% 3%- 2%- 1%- 0%- A Particular COMT Gene and Psychosis 2.3% No Adolescent Marijuana Use (n=311) 5.5% Adolescent Marijuana Use (n=91)
