A 9-year study was conducted in Sweden, comparing 21,088 women who had mammograms with 21,195 who did not. Of the women who underwent screening, 63 died of breast cancer, compared with 66 deaths among the control group. (New York Times, Dec 9, 2001). Do these results support the effectiveness of regular mammograms in preventing deaths from breast cancer? Evaluate with a TI 83.

The American Water Works Association reports that, The average household water usage is more than 10 gallons per day. However, in a pandemic like this, it is suspected that there is a change in household water consumption. A researcher conducted a survey and took samples of 12 household heads and asked about the use of the gallon water. The data obtained are as follows: 74, 8, 13, 17, 13, 15, 12, 13, 15, 16, 9, 7. If it is known that the data is normally distributed. Use a significance level of 5% to test whether the average household water use has increased (greater than 10 gallons)? What will happen if the household's water use increases by 5% from the previous one? Analyze your answer and come up with a conclusion!

A randomized prospective study is conducted to estimate the association between taking a drug and remission for patients with a specific type of cancer. The estimated incidence rate ratio of remission for the treatment group relative to the placebo is 1.35. What is the proper interpretation of this value? An individual (from the same cancer population) who does not take the drug is 35% less likely to go into remission as compared to an individual who has taken the drug. O In a random sample of 1,000 persons from the same cancer population, there would be 350 more remissions if these 1,000 persons took the drug as compared to if they did not take the drug. O An individual (from the same cancer population) who takes the drug is 35% more likely to go into remission as compared to an individual who has not taken the drug.

To determine whether a new sleeping pill has an affect that varies with dosage, a researcher randomly assigns adult insomniacs, in equal numbers, to receive either 4 or 8 grams of the sleeping pill. The amount of sleeping time is measured for each subject during an 8-hour period after the administration of the dosage. What type of design is this, and what type of statistic is needed to analyze the data (consider ABAB studies)?
According to the American Lung association, lung cancer account for 28% of all cancer deaths in the US. A new type of screening for lung cancer, computed tomography (CT), has been developed. Medical researchers believe CT scans are scans are more sensitive than regular X-rays in pinpointing small tumors. The Cancer Center at the University of South Florida is currently conducting a clinical trial of 50,000 smokers nationwide to compare the effectiveness of CT scans with X-ray for detecting lung cancer (Today’s Tomorrows, Fall 2002). Each participating smoker is randomly assigned to one of the two screening methods, CT or chest X-ray, and his or her progress is tracked over time. The age at which the scanning method first detects a tumor is the variable of interest. A. Identify the data collection method used by the cancer researchers. B. dentify experimental units of the study. C. Identify the type of the variable measured. D. Identify the population and sample.
