A clinical trial is run among 40 HIV patients in order to assess the effectiveness of a new anti-retroviral therapy. Patients are randomized. One group received the standard anti-retroviral therapy (usual care) while the other group received the new anti-retroviral therapy. They are monitored for three months. The primary variable is the viral load which represents the number of HIV copies per milliliter of blood. The most appropriate statistical test to determine the significant difference in viral load in patients receiving the standard versus the new anti-retroviral therapy is Mann- Whitney U Test. a.True b.False

In an observational study it was found that people who had received the flu shot this year had better blood pressure readings, on average, than people who did not. Can it be claimed that the flu shot is the cause of the lower overall blood pressure? Why or why not?
A scientist is studying the effect of a new type of exercise program on cardiovascular health. The scientist randomly assigns individuals to either the exercise program or a control group. The scientist wants to determine if the exercise program has a statistically significant effect on cardiovascular health. The scientist monitors cardiovascular health by measuring the blood pressure of each individual.
FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) attacks a cat's immune system causing FAIDS (feline acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). It is estimated that between 2 and 25 percent of the global domestic cat population is infected with the virus. FIV is primarily transmitted from cat to cat through biting. A one-step immunochromatographic (IC) test has been developed for the detection of FIV antibodies. It is estimated that 94.7% of cats with FIV test positive and 96.1% of cats without FIV test negative using this test. Assume that 5% of the local cat population is actually infected with FIV.Use this information to answer the following: (a) For a population of 100 000 cats:i. how many are estimated to be infected with FIV?ii. how many of the cats in (a)(i) will test positive? (b) Use your answers from (a) to help construct a 2 x 2 table of counts displaying the results for this sample. Complete the table. (c) Estimate the proportion of local cats that would test negative for FIV but…

Anemia (low healthy blood cells or hemoglobin) has an important role in exercise performance. However, the direct link between rapid changes of hemoglobin and exercise performance is still unknown. A study investigated 18 patients with a blood disorder (beta-thalassemia). Participants in the study performed an exercise test before and the day after receiving a blood transfusion. Data are given in the table. HB = Hemoglobin RER = Respiratory exchange ID Change in HB Obese RER > 1.1 ratio No No 1 -1.4 No -1.5 No Yes No Yes 3 -2 No 4 -2.1 No -1.9 Yes Yes No -1.6 -1.8 -0.8 6 7 No Yes No Yes 8 9. -1 No No -1.2 No Yes 10 11 No No -0.8 -1.5 12 Yes No No Yes 13 14 -1.4 -2.6 -1.7 No No Yes Yes 15 Yes No Yes Yes 16 -2.6 No 17 18 -2.7 -1.5 No
In a study of carbohydrate diet, an investigator wishes to test a hypothesis test for whether the population mean of cholesterol level among individuals taking medium carbohydrate diet for 4 months is different than 7.8 mmol/L A simple random sample (SRS) of 30 study participants is conducted. Subjects are randomized to receive medium carbohydrate diet for 4 months. The total cholesterol level at the time of entering the study had an average of 5.20 mmol/L and standard deviation of 1.3 mmol/L Calculate a 95% confidence interval (show your work) for the population mean of total cholesterol levels among those taking medium carbohydrate diet and use the confidence interval to draw a conclusion as to whether there is a difference in cholesterol levels. Choose the correct statement. O (4.7492, 5.6508) Do not reject HO sincc value of null hypothesis, 5.20 does fall in this range O (4.8216. 5.5783) Reject H0 since value of null hypothesis 7.8 does not fall in this range.

TDaP is a booster shot that prevents Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis in adults and adolescents. It should be administered every 8 years for it to remain effective. A random sample of 500 people living in a town that experienced a pertussis outbreak this year were divided into two groups. Group 1 was made up of 132 individuals who had not had the TDaP booster in the past 8 years, and Group 2 consisted of 368 individuals who had. In Group 1, 15 individuals caught pertussis during the outbreak, and in Group 2, 11 individuals caught pertussis. Is there evidence to suggest that the proportion of individuals who caught pertussis and were not up to date on their booster shot is higher than those that were? Test at the 0.05 level of significance. Enter the P-Value - round to 4 decimal places
The data in the attached image represents blood pressure based on a new trial medication used in an experiment involving a total of 50 male and female subjects. There were two levels of treatment: 0 = placebo and 1 = treatment group. Family History Blood Pressure = Fam-Hist-BP; from the paternal side = PS; from the maternal side = MS; from both sides = BS; none on both sides or not known = N.; Blood pressure before the experiment = BP-Before-Exp; Blood pressure after the experiment = BP-After-Exp. Task: Construct a side-by-side boxplot to compare the variables BP-Before-Exp and BP-After-Exp.
