1. Suppose a survey was done in three states on the Covid-19 pandemic situation. Of the total population of the three states, 25% live in state X, 45% live in state Y, and 30% live in state Z. In state X, 20% of the citizens have been infected with Covid-19, in state B, 10% of the citizens have been infected with Covid-19, and in state C, 15% of the citizens have been infected with Covid-19. Let X represents the event that the citizen is from state X, Y represents the event that the citizen is from state Y and Z represents the event that the citizen is from state Z. Let C represents the event that the citizen has been infected with Covid-19. a) Find the probability that a randomly selected citizen has not been infected with Covid-19 and lives in state X and find the probability that a randomly selected citizen has been infected with Covid-19 and Given that a randomly selected citizen has been infected with Covid-19, find the probability that the selected citizen is from state Y.

Suppose that 20% of the adult population in Palestine smoke cigarettes only, 15% smoke Argeeleh only, and 10% smoke both cigarettes and Argeeleh. Suppose that 15% of those who smoke cigarettes only have respiratory problems, 10% of those who smoke Agreeleh only have respiratory problems, 20% of those who smoke both cigarettes and Argeeleh have respiratory problems, and 5% of non-smokers have respiratory problems. If an adult person is randomly selected from the population: What is the probability that he/she has respiratory problems? If the selected individual has respiratory problems, what is the probability that he/she is non-smoker? If the selected individual has respiratory problems, what is the probability that he/she smokes both cigarettes and Argeeleh?
A prospective cohort study was conducted to assess the impact of a particular environmental exposure. The investigators enrolled 3000 participants, 1000 who had been exposed and 2000 who had not, and followed them for four years. Ten of the exposed participants and 10 of the unexposed participants were diagnosed with leukemia during the study. The risk of leukemia is: 1) Higher in those that were exposed 2) The same for both groups 3) Higher for those not exposed 4) cannot be determined from the information provided
A researcher is studying the effects of yoga on depression. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: yoga and medication (experimental group); or support group and medication (control group). In this study, the researcher first administers a questionnaire measuring depression to all participants. Then they implement two programs simultaneously: a 6-week yoga program coupled with medication management and a 6-week support group program coupled with medication management. At the end of the 6 weeks, participants complete another questionnaire measuring depression. Finding the change scores from the beginning to end, the researcher then compares the mean change score of the experimental group with the mean change score of the control group. A) What are the independent and dependent variables in this scenario? B) What statistical test would be most appropriate to use in this study? Why? C) Once you have calculated the statistics, how do you know whether the results of the…
The coat color of black bears depends on a gene with two alleles. Allele B is dominant and confers black coat, whereas allele b is recessive and homozygous bears have white coats (albino black bears, I know it sounds weird but it is true). As we know from genetics each bear has two alleles and the coat colors are as follows: BB-black; Bb-black; bb-white. A researcher obtained the following data for the genotypes (BB, Bb or bb) of black bears: Genotype Number of bears BB 42 Bb 24 bb 21 You are performing the following hypothesis test: H0: The genotypes of the bears follow a binomial distribution, with a probability of receiving the b allele equal to the observed proportion of the b allele in the population. HA: The genotypes of the bears do not follow a binomial distribution What is the expected frequency of bears with genotype BB, Bb, and bb? Give the absolute expected frequency (number of bears) not the fraction/proportion of BB bears
A doctor released the results of clinical trials for a vaccine to prevent a particular disease. In these clinical trials, 400,000 children were randomly divided in two groups. The subjects in group 1 (the experimental group) were given the vaccine, while the subjects in group 2 (the control group) were given a placebo. Of the 200,000 children in the experimental group, 41 developed the disease. Of the 200,000 children in the control group, 109 developed the disease. Complete parts (a) through (f) below. (d) What is a placebo? OA. An innocuous medication OB. Whatever does the opposite of the actual medication OC. A pill OD. Water (e) Why is such a large number of subjects needed for this study? OA. The number of subjects is so large because the vaccine is very effective. OB. The number of subjects is so large because a large sample size is needed to ensure that the samples are independent. OC. The number of subjects is so large because these are clinical trials, which require a…
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) sent an online survey to 3000 small businesses in Canada asking many questions as to how they were affected by the Covid-19 sanitary restrictions over the last two years. Of the 229 businesses that responded to the CFIB survey, 37.1 % reported that they were negatively affected. An equivalent provincial association in Quebec (AGAP) had just conducted a similar survey among its 250 members. Among the 24 AGAP members who responded to the same question, 7 of them said they were negatively affected. Do you have any reason to doubt that, statistically, the AGAP respondents can be considered part of the same population of CFIB respondents? Provide a statistical argument using a cut-off point (red flag) of 5%.
In the current pandemic, researchers are working on creating antibody tests to determine which individuals have already had an infection caused by the COVID-19 virus. If someone has been infected, then they will have certain antibodies in their system and the hope is that a highly accurate test can be created to detect these antibodies. Assume a researcher creates a new antibody test, which for individuals who are known to have had the infection in the past and thus truly have the COVID-19 antibodies, gives a positive result 95% of the time. This same test gives a negative result 90% of time for people who do not have the antibodies. Assume that COVID-19 has affected 5% of the population in the region of interest. What is the probability someone has NOT been infected previously given that their antibody test result comes back positive? [four decimals]
An online clothing retailer is testing a new e-mail campaign by sending one version of the e-mail with the word “free” in the subject line (version A) to a group of 1,500 customers and another version of the e-mail with word “discount” in the subject line (version B) to a different group of 1500 customers. After tracking the responses to the two versions of the e-mail advertising, the retailer finds that 75 responded to version A and 105 responded to version B. At 0.05 significance level, can it be concluded that the response rate for version B is higher than the response rate to version A What is your decision? Enter “R” if your decision is to reject the null hypotheses. Enter “F” if the decision is fail to/do not reject the null hypotheses. Your answer (R/F) is: Which of the followings is the most appropriate conclusion for the hypotheses test? Enter the number corresponding to the most appropriate conclusion in the answer box. For example, if statement number 2 is the most…
Hydroxychloroquine is a drug sometimes used to treat malaria or rheumatoid arthritis. This drug has recently received some notoriety as a possible treatment for those suffering from Covid-19. A hydroxychloroquine tablet comes in a 200 mg strength, but hydroxychloroquine dosage may be anywhere from 200 to 1200 mg. Thus, a patient must take multiple pills. Suppose X is the number of pills taken by a randomly selected hydroxychloroquine patient. Then according to JJSDA, x has the following probability mass function, p(x), and cumulative distribution function F(x). 1 2 4 p(x) .04 .27 .35 .10 07 F(x) .04 .31 a .83 .93 1 a. If F is the cumulative distribution function of x, then what is the value of a? b. If p is the probability mass function for x, then evaluate b. c. What is the expected value of x? d. Calculate the variance of x. e. What is the variance of 0.7*x? f. The CDC 'randomly' checks the dosage of 10 hydroxychloroquine patients. What is the probability that exactly 4 of the…
Researchers were interested in how social situations can influence stress-induced eating. They grouped participants according to self-reported stress-induced eating habits: consistently eating more (hyperphagics) or eating less (hypophagics) when stressed. Each participant was then exposed to one of three social situations: (1) a social inclusion condition, where subjects were told that a confederate partner had approved of a video they had made answering some questions and was looking forward to meeting them, (2) a neutral condition, where they were told their partners could not meet them because their partners had to cancel their participation, or (3) a social exclusion condition, where they were told that their partner had decided not to meet them after viewing their video. Subjects were then given an ice cream taste test and the amount of ice cream consumed was measured. Question: How many factors are in this scenario?
