1. Pharmaceutical firms also conduct research to assess the efficiency of a treatment program. Suppose a new anti-viral drug for COVID-19 is currently under investigation, this is given to patients after the signs of COVID-19 have become evident. The overall amount of time in months that patients begin to stay aftercare is of concern. There are two researcher, each of whom follows a different set of 40 COVID-19 patients from the beginning of treatment through to death. Each researcher collects the following data (in months).

Beryllium disease: Beryllium is an extremely lightweight metal that is used in many industries, such as aerospace and electronics. Long-term exposure to beryllium can cause people to become sensitized. Once an individual is sensitized, continued exposure can result in chronic beryllium disease, which involves scarring of the lungs. In a study of the effects of exposure to beryllium, workers were categorized by their duration of exposure (in years) and by their disease status (diseased, sensitized, or normal). The results were as follows: Duration of Exposure 5 Diseased 15 7. 19 Sensitized 12 22 14 Normal 66 145 197 Send data to Excel Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the a = 0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude?
The 2019-2020 flu season was especially tough.By the end of the season, an estimated total of 49 million people in the United States had contracted the flu, of whom an estimated 79,000 died from the flu. Assume that the US population was 300,000,000 during the 2019-2020 flu season and that during the season, a total of 2.9 million Americans died from all causes (including the flu). Assume the population of the US remained the same at the midpoint of the season. Report mortality rates per 100,000. Be sure to express the measure in the correct format. c.What was the flu-related mortality rate during the 2019-2020 flu season? d.What is the all-cause mortality rate during the 2019-2020 flu season? e.In a country with an age distribution that is much younger than in the US, the proportionate mortality rate from flu in 2019 was 5%. Based on this information alone, can we determine that the risk of dying from flu in 2019 was higher in this country compared to the US? Why or why not?
In an article in the Journal of Marketing, Bayus studied the differences between "early replacement buyers" and "late replacement buyers" in making consumer durable good replacement purchases. Early replacement buyers are consumers who replace a product during the early part of its lifetime, while late replacement buyers make replacement purchases late in the product's lifetime. In particular, Bayus studied automobile replacement purchases. Consumers who traded in cars with ages of zero to three years and mileages of no more than 35,000 miles were classified as early replacement buyers. Consumers who traded in cars with ages of seven or more years and mileages of more than 73,000 miles were classified as late replacement buyers. Bayus compared the two groups of buyers with respect to demographic variables such as income, education, age, and so forth. He also compared the two groups with respect to the amount of search activity in the replacement purchase process. Variables compared…

Each participant is assessed at study start (baseline) and every year thereafter for 5 years. The following data were collected relating hypertensive status measured at baseline to incident stroke over 5 years.

In laboratories where clinical tests are carried out, two types of test are available for the detection of a highly contagious virus. The Type A test is very fast and inexpensive while the Type B test is a test that requires more time to obtain a diagnosis and is more expensive. It is known that the economic test. Type A, generates correct diagnosis (C) in 60% of cases. While the Type B test provides the correct diagnosis (C) in 99% of cases. If after six months of quarantine due to this virus the health secretary realizes that 80% of the tests carried out in the state correspond to Type A economic tests and only 20% were Type B. If it is known that a test made an incorrect diagnosis. What is the probability that the Type A economic test did? .9937 .24844 .322 .6211 .3788
Question 7 Immuno-oncologists wanted to examine whether combination therapy with nivolumab and ipilimumab improved survival in melanoma patients compared to treatment with ipilimumab alone. They plan to first obtain approval from the institutional review board, identify melanoma patients, randomly assign some patients to combination therapy and others to treatment with ipilimumab alone, and follow these patients a certain period of time to record their survival. This study is an example of (Choose one from choices given): O None of the choices are correct O Experimental design (aka: interventional) O Non-Experimental design (aka: observational O Survey design
Thomas and Camille are international visiting scientists with research interests in horticultural and environmental issues in urban areas. They participate in various studies performed by Ville de Montréal. More specifically, they address issues related to plant diseases in city gardens, air and water quality, and food waste management. The viruses causing problems in strawberry plants are mainly spread by one insect, the strawberry aphid. Camille believes that as aphids feed on leaves, they transmit viruses that can cause a rapid decrease in plant growth. She decides to verify whether or not the number of strawberry aphids found on a plant could be linked to its growth. She therefore randomly chooses 5 strawberry plants at the same stage of development in a virus-infested garden. For each individual plant, she first collects all the aphids present on the plant and weighs them, and then weighs the entire plant to have a measure of plant growth. She obtains the following data.…

This weekend, Premier League officials will be conducting urine tests for all players who are participating in Premier League matches. The tests are being carried out as part of the league's ongoing efforts to combat the use of performance-enhancing drugs and other banned substances. The urine samples will be collected before and after the matches, and will be analysed by a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)-accredited laboratory to detect any traces of banned substances in the players' systems. Suppose 3% of the players will use banned substances. Let X be the number of players that officials need to test to find the first case of using banned substances. Let Y be the number of players tested to find 3 such cases. (a) Name the probability distribution and specify the value of any parameter(s) for each of the two random variables X and Y. (b) What is the probability that at least 5 players are to be tested to find the first using-banned-substances case? (c) What is the probability that…
2. Many people take ginkgo supplements advertised to improve memory. Are these over-the- counter supplements effective? In a study, elderly adults were assigned to the treatment group or control group. The 104 participants who were assigned to the treatment group took 40 mg of ginkgo 3 times a day for 6 weeks. The 115 participants assigned to the control group took a placebo pill 3 times a day for 6 weeks. At the end of 6 weeks, the Wechsler Memory Scale was administered. Higher scores indicate better memory function. Summary values are given in the following table: a) Based on these results, is there evidence that taking 40mg of ginkgo 3 times a day is effective in increasing mean performance on the Wechsler Memory Scale?b) Write a brief report on your findings
