In a population of 150 pea plants, there are 89 tall-purple plants, 25 short-purple plants, 28 tall-white plants, and 8 short-white plants. In order to test if the two traits are experiencing independent assortment researchers would perform a chi squared test. What is your calculated Chi Squared statistic? What is the corresponding P value?
You conducted a study to assess the effect of smoking on systolic blood pressure. The results showed that there was a significant association between the two variables, with an odds ratio of 1.5. Explain this finding to someone who has no background in epidemiologic research.
Calculate an odds ratio A group of teens ages 13-17 with anxiety were chosen as cases in a case-control study. A second group of teens ages 13-17 without anxiety were chosen as controls for the same study. The researchers were investigating if attention deficient and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a potential risk factor (exposure) for anxiety (outcome). The medical histories of cases and controls were examined to determine if participants had been diagnosed with ADHD between ages 8 and 10. Among cases (teens with anxiety), 77 had been diagnosed with ADHD between ages 8 and 10 and 34 had not been diagnosed with ADHD between ages 8 and 10. Among controls (teens without anxiety), 18 had been diagnosed with ADHD between ages 8 and 10 and 124 had not been diagnosed with ADHD between ages 8 and 10. Calculate the odds ratio to measure the association between being ADHD and anxiety in teens. Express your answer to the nearest tenth or 1 place past the decimal (example: 15.4).
Consider a study to determine the association between alcohol consumption and esophageal cancer. Data on alcohol consumption was dichotomized at 80 g/day. The data are summarized in the 2x2 table below: Alcohol grams/day >= 80 <80 Esophageal cancer Yes 96 104 No 109 666 Select the appropriate odds ratio and interpretation. People who consume 80 or more grams of alcohol per day have 5.64 times the odds of esophageal cancer than those who consume less than 80 grams of alcohol per day. People who consume less than 80 grams of alcohol per day have 5.64 times the odds of esophageal cancer than those who consume 80 grams or more of alcohol per day. People who consume less than 80 grams of alcohol per day have 5.64 more odds of esophageal cancer than those who consume 80 grams or more of alcohol per day. People who consume 80 or more grams of alcohol per day have 5.64 times the risk of esophageal cancer than those who consume less than 80 grams of alcohol per day.

A clinical trial is conducted to compare a new pain re- liever for arthritis to a placebo. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the new medication or a placebo, and the outcome is pain relief within 30 minutes. The data are shown in Table 7–8. Is there a significant difference in the proportions of patients reporting pain relief? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Pain Relief No Pain Relief New Medication 44 76 Placebo 21 99 How would I use excel with this?
Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.

Suppose an investigator has studied the possible association between the use of a weight-loss drug and a rare central nervous system (CNS) disorder. He samples from a group of volunteers with and without the disorder, and records whether they have used the weight-loss drug. The data are summarized in the attached table: What is the estimated the odds ratio for the presence of a CNS disorder, comparing people who have used the weight-loss drug to those who have not? What test would you use to evaluate the null hypothesis of no association between weight-loss drug use and presence of a CNS disorder?
