A case-control study is planned to investigate whether bottle-fed infants are at increased risk of death from acute respiratory infections compared breast-fed infants. The mothers of a group of cases (infants' deaths, with an underlying respiratory cause named on the death certificate) will be interviewed about the breast-feeding status of the child prior to the illness leading to death. The results will be compared to with those obtained from mothers of a group of healthy controls regarding the current breast-feeding status of their infants. It is expected that about 40% of controls will be bottle-fed, and we would like to detect a difference if bottle-feeding was associated with a two-fold increase of death (OR-2). A. How many cases and controls need to be studied to give a 90% power of achieving 5% significance level. Copy and paste/print the answer from the software. B. Repeat part (A) if the OR was three-fold increase. What do you notice about the sample size needed? Explain
There is a current chemotherapy drug available that is extremely successful in treating an aggressive form of breast cancer. This drug has as a serious side effect in that 20% of the recipients will subsequently go on to develop ALL, an often untreatable and fatal form of leukemia. The pharmaceutical company is developing a modified version of this drug and long term clinical trials are being conducted on 214 women afflicted with this aggressive form of breast cancer. The trials have indicated 31 subsequent cases of ALL. State and test the hypothesis that there is no difference in the proportion of ALL cases between the two chemotherapy drugs against the alternative that there is a difference. Set alpha equal to 0.02
A clinical trial is conducted to compare an experimental medication to placebo to reduce the symptoms of asthma. Two hundred participants are enrolled in the study and randomized to receive either the experimental medication or placebo. The primary outcome is self-reported reduction of symptoms. Among 100 participants who receive the experimental medication, 38 report a reduction of symptoms as compared to 21 participants of 100 assigned to placebo. When you test if there is a significant difference in the proportions of participants reporting a reduction of symptoms between the experimental and placebo groups. Use α = 0.05. What should the researcher’s conclusion be for a 5% significance level? Reject H0because 2.64 ≥ 1.960. We have statistically significant evidence at α = 0.05 to show that there is a difference in the proportions of patients reporting a reduction in symptoms. We reject H0 at the 5% level because 2.64 is greater than 1.96. We do have statistically…
ester Hollar is vice president for human resources for a large manufacturing company. In recent years, he has noticed an increase in absenteeism that he thinks is related to the general health of the employees. Four years ago, in an attempt to improve the situation, he began a fitness program in which employees exercise during their lunch hour. To evaluate the program, he selected a random sample of eight participants and found the number of days each was absent in the six months before the exercise program began and in the six months following the exercise program. Below are the results. Employee Before After 1 6 5 2 6 2 3 7 1 4 7 3 5 4 3 6 3 6 7 5 3 8 6 7 At the 0.05 significance level, can he conclude that the number of absences has declined? Estimate the p-value. State the decision rule for 0.05 significance level. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Compute the test statistic. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
A new drug is being proposed for the treatment of migraine headaches. Unfortunately, some users in early tests of the drug have reported mild nausea as a side effect. The FDA will reject the drug if it thinks that more than 15% of the population would suffer from this side effect. In an experiment to test this side effect, 400 people who suffer from migraine headaches receive the new drug and 80 of them report nausea as a side effect. Determine if the FDA should reject the drug using 5% level of significance. Provide the test statistic, critical value, and a conclusion in the box below.

Researchers suspect that drinking tea might enhance the production of interferon gamma, a molecule that helps the immune system fight bacteria, viruses, and tumors. A recent study involved 20 healthy people who did not normally drink tea or coffee. Ten of the participants were randomly assigned to drink five cups of tea a day, while 10 were asked to drink the same amount of coffee. After two weeks, blood samples were exposed to an antigen and production of interferon gamma were measured. The results are shown in the following table: Теа: 55 17 54 49 10 46 21 14 53 Coffee: 16 12 20 52 37 15 22 30 3 Let X ~ N(ux,o3) be the interferon gamma production for participants who drink tea and observations for the ten participants who drink tea are a random sample from X. Let Y ~ N(uy,o) be the interferon gamma production for participants who drink coffee and observations for the ten participants who drink coffee are a random sample from Y. Some R output that may help. > p1 qnorm(p1) [1] -2.326…
A clinical trial is conducted to compare an experimental medication to placebo to reduce the symptoms of asthma. One hundred participants are enrolled in the study and randomized to receive either the experimental medication or placebo. The primary outcome is self-reported reduction of symptoms. Among 50 participants who receive the experimental medication, 36 report a reduction of symptoms as compared to 17 participants of 50 assigned to the placebo. Generate a 95% CI for the difference in proportions of participants reporting a reduction of symptoms between the experimental and placebo groups.
A study was conducted to examine the effects of yoga on feelings of anxiety and stress among 200 college students. 100 students were randomized to participate in daily yoga exercises in the morning, while the remaining 100 students were attended a wellness course that described the benefits of yoga and exercise on one's health. At the end of the study, it was determined that those who participated in daily yoga exercises had fewer symptoms of anxiety and stress compared to those who attended the wellness course. la.

The drug AZT was the first drug that seemed effective in delaying the onset of AIIDS in people infected with HIV. Evidence for AZT's effectiveness came from a large randomized comparative experiment. The subjects were 1300 HIV-positive volunteers who had not yet developed AIIDS. The double-blind study assigned 435 of the subjects at random to take 500 milligrams of AZT each day and another 435 to take a placebo. At the end of the study, 38 of the placebo subjects and 17 of the AZT subjects had developed AIDS. (a) Calculate and interpret the odds ratio, OR, and the relative risk, RR, for the AZT group compared with the placebo group. (Enter your answers rounded to four decimal places.) RR = OR = How do the values for OR and RR compare? O The OR value is much larger than the RR value which must imply the risk of getting AIDS while not using AZT is much higher. Both values are very easy to interpret since they are quite intuitive. O The OR value is somewhat similar to the RR value but is…
