8. Three thousand fifty-nine cases of AIDS had been reported in Santa Clara County, CA, through a certain date. Those cases will be our population. Of those cases, 6.4% obtained the disease through heterosexual contact and 7.4% are female. Out of the females with the disease, 53.3% got the disease from heterosexual contact. Find P(Person is female). Find P(Person obtained the disease through heterosexual contact). Find P(Person is female given person got the disease from heterosexual contact)

Two different blood pressure medicines are being compared to determine if the average reduction in blood pressure is the same for each medication. The goal of the study is to determine if the medications differ. Twenty men age 50-60 years old are selected for the study. Ten men are chosen at random to receive the first medication and the other 10 men receive the second medication. Each of the 20 men is monitored for one month to determine the change in blood pressure over that time. Minitab provides the 95% confidence interval for (mu1 - mu2) (2.63, 14.18) a. Interpret this 95% CI. b. What assumptions (be specific) are necessary to construct this CI?
A study was done to know if there is a relationship between obesity and atherosclerosis. A total of 775 participants was studied and there were about 312 participants with atherosclerosis. About 309 participants were not atherosclerotic and not obese, and of the 312 atherosclerotic participants about 143 were not obese. TOTAL TOTAL 10. What is the incidence among those who are obese? 11. What is the incidence among those who are not obese? 12. What is the incidence of atherosclerosis that can be attributed to obesity? Use the already rounded-off answers in the previous items when computing.
A team of researchers would like to determine whether the number of households that use the internet for more than an hour a day is greater in large cities or small towns. To do so, the researchers take two random samples. The first sample consists of randomly selected people who live in cities with more than 500,000 people around the country. The second sample consists of randomly selected people who live in towns with fewer than 20,000 people. Are these samples dependent or independent? Select the correct answer below: O These samples are independent. O These samples are dependent. Not enough information is provided to determine independence.
Suppose we want to compare the GPA for students in at least three different social classes (Upper, Middle, Working). We obtain GPA records for a randomly selected set of 30 students, ten from each social class group. What test should you use and why?
A fitness course claims that it can improve an individual's physical ability. To test the effect of a physical fitness course on one's physical ability, the number of sit-ups that a person could do in one minute, both before and after the course, was recorded. Ten individuals are randomly selected to participate in the course. The results are displayed in the following table. Can it be concluded, from the data, that participation in the physical fitness course resulted in significant improvement? Let d=(number of sit-ups that can be done after taking the course)−(number of sit-ups that can be done prior to taking the course)d=(number of sit-ups that can be done after taking the course)−(number of sit-ups that can be done prior to taking the course). Use a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05 for the test. Assume that the numbers of sit-ups are normally distributed for the population both before and after taking the fitness course.

A report describes a survey of 251 adult Americans. Participants in the survey were asked how often they disinfect their phone and were asked to respond with one of the following categories: more than once a week, once a week, every other, week, every three weeks, or less often than every three weeks. For this group, 9% responded more than once a week, 52% responded once a week, 26% responded every other week, 6% responded every three weeks, and 7% responded less often than every three weeks. Fill in the table below with the relative frequency distributions. How Often? Relative Frequency More than once a week Once a week Every other week Every three weeks Less often than every three weeks
A local government official observes an increase in the number of individuals with cardiovascular and obesity problems in his barangay. In order to improve the health conditions of his constituents, he aims to promote an easy and cheap way to reduce weight. It is known that obesity results in risk of having illnesses like diabetes and heart problems. He encouraged his constituents to participate in his "Dance for Life" project every weekend for three months. To know if the program is effective in reducing weight, he randomly selected 12 participants from the group who completed the program. The weight loss data, in kilograms, of the 12 randomly selected participants after completing the program, are 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.0, 2.3, 2.4, 2.7, 3.0. It is known that the weight loss of those who have completed the dance program follows a normal distribution with variance of 3.24 ??2. a. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the true mean weight loss of the…
A researcher takes a sample of 50 individuals and administers a background check to identify the number of prior arrests for each person. For whatever reason, one person is removed from the analysis and another random person is selected to replace that person. Having no additional information, what is your best guess of the number of prior arrests experienced by the replacement person? Why?
Does grade level matter regarding having a drink of coffee before going to school? To get some insight relating to this question, Professor Jay randomly selected nm = 1142 New York City high school freshmen. Of these, xm = 803 said they had at least one cup of coffee before going to school. Professor Jay also randomly selected nf = 1012 New York City high school seniors. Of these, xf = 760 said they had at least one cup of coffee before going to school. Suppose Pm is the true proportion of New York City high school freshmen who have a drink of coffee before going to school. Suppose pf is the true proportion of New York City high school seniors who have a drink of coffee before going to school. Pm and pf are unknown and we will examine relations between them based upon Professor Jay's samples. Let pmhat be the sample proportion of high school freshmen who said they had at least one cup of coffee before going to school. Let pfhat be the sample proportion of high school seniors who said…
