a certain test for a particular cancer is known to be 95% accurate. a person submits to the test an the result is positive. suppose that a person comes from a population of 1lakh where 2000 people suffer from that disease. what can we conclude about the probabilty that the person under test has that particular cancer?

16% of all Americans suffer from sleep apnea. A researcher suspects that a different percentage of those who live in the inner city have sleep apnea. Of the 337 people from the inner city surveyed, 47 of them suffered from sleep apnea. What can be concluded at the level of significance of α= 0.05? a. The test statistic= (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) b. The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
question 4 Diagnostic tests of medical conditions can have several types of results. The test resultcan be positive or negative, whether or not a patient has the condition. A positive test (+)indicates that the patient has the condition. A negative test (-) indicates that the patientdoes not have the condition. Remember, a positive test does not prove that the patient hasthe condition. Additional medical work may be required. Consider a random sample of200 patients, some of whom have a medical condition, and some of whom do not. Resultsof a new diagnostic test for the condition are shown. Condition ispresent Condition is absent total Test result (+) 110 20 130 Test result (-) 20 50 70 total 130 70 200 Assume the sample is representative of the entire population. For a person selected at random,compute the following probabilities:a. P(+│condition is present); this is known as the sensitivity of a test. b. P(- │condition is absent); this is known as the…
Suppose we have a case-control study that completes and yields a study OR = 4.5. If we were told the true OR in the population was actually 2.25 (we normally wouldn’t know this, but suppose hypothetically someone was able to know this and told us), this again means our study OR is biased. Is our study OR biased towards or away from the null? A)Away from the null. B)Towards the null.
According to Mars, Incorporated, 20.5% of the M&M'S® Milk Chocolate Candies made at its Cleveland factory are orange. Assume that the company's claim is true. Suppose you take a random sample of 8 candies from a large bag of M&M'S. Let X = the number of orange candies you get. Orange M&M'S Mūnienie je interpret dine reguler d. Suppose that you get 4 orange M&M'S in your sample. Does this result provide convincing evidence that Mars's claim about its M&M'S is false? Justify your answer. Orange M&M'S a. Find and interpret the expected value of X. b. Find and interpret the standard deviation of X.
A law enforcement agent believes that 80% of the drivers stopped on Saturday nights for speeding are under the influence of alcohol. Suspecting that the proportion under the influence may be higher than 80%, a SRS of 140 drivers who were stopped for speeding on a Saturday night was taken. 119 of the drivers in the sample were under the influence of alcohol. The correct set of hypotheses is Group of answer choices Ho: p = 0.80 vs Ha: p = 0.85 Ho: p = 0.80 vs Ha: p > 0.80

Suppose that, for one semester, you can collect the following data on a random sample of college juniors and seniors for each class taken: a standardised final exam score, percentage of lectures attended, a dummy variable indicating whether the class is within the student’s major, cumulative grade point average prior to the start of the semester, and SAT score. If you pool all of the data and use OLS, what are you assuming about unobserved student characteristics that affect performance and attendance rate and What roles do SAT score and prior GPA play in this regard?

2. The difference between the two groups has been declared statistically significant at the a = 0.05 level. Use the "No Adolescent Marijuana" group to determine a suitable p0, and then test the hypothesis: HO: p ≤ p0 HA: p > p0 where p is the population proportion (conceptualized) of all adolescent marijuana users who would develop schizophrenia. Show all your work. Are the results statistically significant as claimed? Make sure you report the standard score, a p-value, your conclusion, and a comment on what statistical risk has been taken and controlled for in this testing process. Percent Developing Schizophrenia 7%- 6%- 5%- 4% 3%- 2%- 1%- 0%- A Particular COMT Gene and Psychosis 2.3% No Adolescent Marijuana Use (n=311) 5.5% Adolescent Marijuana Use (n=91)
