2. The article "Should Pregnant Women Move? Linking Risks for Birth Defects with Proximity to Toxic Waste Sites" (Chance (1992): 40-45) reported that in a large study carried out in the state of New York, approximately 30% of the population lived within I mile of a hazardous waste site. If an SRS of 400 pregnant women is selected, how likely is it that the sample proportion will be within 5% of the true population proportion? Would this probability be larger or smaller if we selected an SRS of size 500? (You don't need to do a calculation to figure this out...use common sense!)

1) In a study of the association between exposure to asbestos and risk of mesothelioma, 200 cases were identified, along with 200 population-based controls. In reality, the proportion of cases exposed to asbestos is 10%, and the proportion of controls exposed to asbestos is 1%. However, due to systematic errors in sampling, the proportion exposed to asbestos in the study population was 15% among cases and 5% among controls, such that the odds ratio calculated was 3.35. Of the following terms, which best describes this odds ratio: a) Precise b) Not valid c) Reliable d) Not reliable e) Not precise f) Valid
Travelers who have no intention of showing up often fail to cancel their hotel reservations in a timely manner. These travelers are known, in the parlance of the hospitality trade, as “no-shows”. To protect against no-shows and late cancellations, hotels invariably overbook rooms. A recent study examined the problems of over-booking rooms in the hotel industry. The following data, extracted from the study represent the daily numbers of late cancellations and no-shows for a random sample of 10 days at a hotel: 18, 16, 16, 16, 14, 18, 16, 18, 14, 19. a) Compute s, the sample s.d. for the data set
which of the following are correct? I. One purpose of a double-blind study is to control for researcher bias and placebo effect. II. The main purpose of randomizing individuals to treatment groups is to control for bias. III. Replication is used to help reduce chance variation in experiments.
1. The La Leche Society has released an educational video on the benefits of breast feeding. Prior to the release of the videos, it was known that 75% of new moms breast-feed exclusively for the first six weeks of their child's life. The CEO wants to know if the videos are increasing this proportion. A random sample of 400 new moms was obtained and 320 breast-fed their new babies exclusively for the first six weeks. At the 5% significance level, what conclusion can be reached?
4. According to a 2019 Federal Reserve report, 54% of U.S. young adults who went to college took on some debt for their education. Suppose we take a random sample of 400 U.S. young adults who went to college and took on some debt, a) Find the mean and standard of the sampling distribution of ?̂. mean= ?? = standard deviation of the sample proportion, ?? = b) Determine the probability that more than 60% of the persons in the sample took on some debt.

Dr. Sloane is doing a study to test the association between alcohol consumption and the occurrence of cancer of the liver. He chooses a hospital-based sample and collects all newly diagnosed cases of histologically confirmed liver cancer diagnosed at that hospital. For his control group, he reviews the charts of all patients coming through all the clinics at this hospital who are not diagnosed with liver cancer. He makes sure that the cases and controls are similar by age and sex. A. Looking at the odds ratios and the p-values together, describe your observations. B. Looking at the p-values, what do they tell you about the strength of the association between drinking different amounts of alcohol per day and the risk of having liver cancer?

The use of a HPV vaccination is effective at decreasing risk of cervical cancer overall. Investigators wished to study whether there is a difference in cervical cancer risk among three different risk categories: monogamous relationships only, casual sexual relationships, and anonymous sexual relationships. The investigators then kept track of how many women developed cervical cancer in the study. The expected % of cervical cancer in each of the three risk factor groups is provided. You are interested in investigating if there is a difference between the expected and the observed percentage of women that developed cervical cancer in the three risk categories. What kind of sample and outcome is this?
Annie is concerned over a report that "a woman over age 40 has a better chance of being killed by a terrorist than of getting married." A study found that the likelihood of marriage for a never-previously-wed, 40-year-old university-educated American woman was 3.2%. To demonstrate that this percentage is too small, Annie uses her resources at the Baltimore Sun to conduct a simple random sample of 436 never-previously-wed, university-educated, American women who were single at the beginning of their 40s and who are now 45. Of these women, 20 report now being married. Does this evidence support Annie’s claim, at the 0.02 level of significance, that the chances of getting married for this group is greater than 3.2%? Step 1 of 3 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Circle the answer below. H0: p=0.032: Ha: p 0.032 A.<B.>C.≠ Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Sep 3 of 3: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.
6) Any basketball fan knows that Shaquille O’Neal, one of the NBA’s most dominant centers of the last twenty years, always had difficulty shooting free throws. Over the course of his career, his overall made free-throw percentage was 53.3%. During one off-season, Shaq had been working with an assistant coach on his free-throw technique. During the next season, a simple random sample showed that Shaq made 26 of 39 free-throw attempts. Test the claim that Shaq has significantly improved his free-throw shooting using a 0.05 significance level. Check the conditions of the Central Limit Theorem for this scenario. Calculate the number of failures.
