9. Smoking Cessation Programs Among 198 smokers who underwent a "sustained care" program, 51 were no longer smoking after six months. Among 199 smokers who underwent a "standard care" program, 30 were no longer smoking after six months (based on data from "Sustained Care Intervention and Postdischarge Smoking Cessation Among Hospitalized Adults," by Rigotti et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 312, No. 7). We want to use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the rate of success for smoking cessa- tion is greater with the sustained care program. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.

Smoking Cessation Programs Among 198 smokers who underwent a “sustained care” program, 51 were no longer smoking after six months. Among 199 smokers who underwent a “standard care” program, 30 were no longer smoking after six months (based on data from “Sustained Care Intervention and Postdischarge Smoking Cessation Among Hospitalized Adults,” by Rigotti et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 312, No. 7). We want to use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the rate of success for smoking cessation is greater with the sustained care program. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval. c. Does the difference between the two programs have practical significance?
8) A researcher wanted to study the relationship between coffee drinking and heart problems. She interviewed all patients at several area hospitals and found that patients in the hospital for treatment of heart problems drank an average of 2.7 cups of coffee per day (Margin of error is 1.4 cups) while those patients being treated for other problems averaged only 1.4 cups of coffee per day (Margin of error is 0.8 cups). What conclusion can you draw about coffee as a cause of heart problems from this information?A) Coffee is bad for you.B) Coffee is good for you.C) Heart patients drink more coffee than other patients.D) None, because only patients in hospitals were interviewed.
A researcher is interested in the impact of joining a weight loss program in the past 12 months on the individuals weight lost. The analysis was restricted to people aged 16 and older who answered yes to the question "During the past 12 months, have you tried to lose weight?" About 5% of the sample had joined a weight loss program in the past year i) Why do we restrict our analysis to those who answered yes to this question?
To investigate the risk factors associated with developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), 4320 women in the UK were monitored in a study from their twelfth week of pregnancy until delivery. Of these, 633 were diagnosed with GDM and the remaining 3687 were non-GDMs. One of the risk factors investigated was the age, in years, of the women. The sample mean age of the 633 women who developed GDM was 31.9 years with a sample standard deviation of 5.16 years. The sample mean and standard deviation of the ages of the 3687 non-GDM women were 30.36 years and 5.21 years respectively. (a) Show that it is appropriate to assume that the population variances are equal, and calculate the pooled estimate of the common population standard deviation. (b) A 95% confidence interval for the underlying difference between the mean age of women who develop GDM and non-GDM women was calculated to be (1.10, 1.98). Using this information what can you conclude about the difference in mean ages of the GDM…
Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted thirty years ago revealed that out of 378 randomly selected adults in the United States 57 were considered to be obese. In this year’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, out of 426randomly selected adults in the United States 135 were considered to be obese. Based on these results, can one conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the percentage of adults in the United States that are obese is considerably higher now than it was thirty years ago?
(Case Study) A group of children who lived near a lead smelter in El Paso, Texas, were identified and their blood levels of lead were measured. An exposed group of 80 children were identified who had blood-lead levels 2 40 µg/mL in 1972-1973, and it was identified as group 2. A control group of 112 children were also identified who had blood-lead levels < 40 ug / mL in 1972-1973, and was identified as group-1. For both groups, the number of finger-wrist taps in the dominant hands (MAXFWT) for the both groups are displayed with a box plot as shown below: 80 70 55 49 49 40 Group-1 Group-2 How many the dominant hands between 49 and 70? children in the control group have the number of finger-wrist taps in MAKEWT
A cross-sectional study of 1,900 participants looked at the association between Normal Course Load (12-15 credit hours (CH)) and Anxiety among upperclassmen college students (Junior & Senior). The study included 1,000 students with a High Course Load. This study also discovered a total of 850 cases of Anxiety. Of those with a Normal course load 12% were diagnosed with anxiety like symptoms by a school psychologist.

1) Soda consumption is very common in the U.S. For the purposes of this question, assume that 30% of the population consumes the equivalent of 3 or more 12 oz. sodas per week (this is the prevalence of the exposure). A large multi-center cohort study was conducted to evaluate the association between soda consumption and risk of diabetes. At baseline, participants were asked about their typical soda consumption, and individuals who reported consuming 3 or more sodas per week were considered exposed. Participants were followed for 10 years, and the following results were obtained: Incident Cases of Diabetes 356 236 Person-Years Contributed 3+ sodas a week 375234 <3 sodas a week 399763 a) Name the appropriate measure of association corresponding to the excess rate of diabetes attributable to soda consumption among subjects who consume 3+ sodas per week. Calculate this measure (shown as a rate, using the correct units), and provide a brief interpretation of your answer b) Calculate the…
The article "Americans are 'Getting the Wrong Idea' on Alcohol and Health"t reported that observational studies in recent years that have concluded that moderate drinking is associated with a reduction in the risk of heart disease may be misleading. The article refers to a study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that showed that moderate drinkers, as a group, tended to be better educated, wealthier, and more active than nondrinkers. Explain why the existence of these potentially confounding variables prevents drawing the conclusion that moderate drinking is the cause of reduced risk of heart disease. (Select all that apply.) O Someone who is educated is more likely to not be aware of what constitutes a healthy diet. Someone who is more active is more likely to seek out healthier food. Someone who is wealthier is more likely to purchase healthier food. O Someone who is educated is more likely to seek out healthier food. O Someone who is more active is more…
According to areport on consumer fraud and identity theft, 22% of all complaints during one year were for identity theft. In that year, Michigan had 322 complaints of identity theft out of 1457 consumer complaints. Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Michigan had a lower proportion of identity theft than 22%? State the Type I and Type II errors in this case. State the Type I error. O Concluding that the proportion of complaints from identity theft in Michigan is 22%, when it is less than 22%. Concluding that the proportion of complaints from identity theft in Michigan is 22%, when it is higher than 22%.
