A doctor is trying to decide if a patient has one of three diseases d1, d2, or d3. Two tests are to be carried out, each of which results in a positive (P) or a negative (N) outcome. There are four possible test patterns PP, PN, NP, and NN. National records have indicated that, for 10,000 people having one of these three diseases, the distribution of diseases, and test results are as shown below: Please find the image below What is the probability that a randomly selected patient has the 2nd disease d2? What is the probability that a randomly selected patient has a test result of NP? If a randomly selected patient gets a test result of NP, what is the probability that the patient has the third disease d3?

AD (Alzheimer's disease) causes progressive cognitive impairment. A diagnostic blood test for AD was proposed. An evaluation of the blood text involved fifty known AD patients and forty control who did not have AD. Of those who had AD, forty eight tested positive on the blood test and two tested negative. Of those without AD, three tested positive on the blood test and thirty seven tested negative. a. Complete the table below:

A researcher is conducting an experimental study on the effect of aspirin on heart attack risk. In order to assign who will receive aspirin and who will receive a placebo, she first divides her study into three age groups (18-29, 30-49, and 50 or older). She then randomly assigns individuals within these age groups to either receive aspirin or the placebo. This is an example of a cluster ?
Part II. A medical clinic has collected the following data on patient category and health state of 300 patients. health state Women patient category Men Children Severe 20 30 25 Non-severe 100 75 50 One of these patients is selected at random. Let W= the patient is a woman; M = the patient is a man; C = the patient is a child; S = the patient's health state is severe; and N= the patient's health state is non-severe. 1. Find P(S n W). Are S and W mutually exclusive? Why 2. Find P(N UC).. 3. Find P(WIN). Are W and N independent? Why? (
A study was conducted to determine whether big-city and small-town dwellers differed in their helpfulness to strangers. In this study, the investigators rang the doorbells of strangers living in a large City or small towns in the vicinity. They explained they had misplaced the address of a friend living in the neighbourhood and asked to use the phone. The following data show the number of individuals who admitted or did not admit the strangers (the investigators) into their homes: Helpfulness to strangers Admitted strangers into their home Didnot admit strangers into their home Big city dwellers 60 90 Small town dwellers 70 30 State the dependent and independent variable Is this a directional or non directional
A psychologist would like to examine the effects of a new drug on the activity level of animals. Three samples of rats are selected with n=5 in each sample. One group gets no drug, one group gets s small dose, and the third group gets a large dose. The psychologist records the activity level for each animal. The data from this experiment are presented below. No drug Small dose Large dose 5, 3 , 1 , 1 , 5 5, 5, 9, 6, 5 10, 12, 9, 6, 8 =3, SS=16 =6, SS=12 =9, SS=20 Do these data indicate any significant differences among the three groups? Test with α=0.05. Compute the effect size and interpret the result.
A group of statisticians decides they will answer the question: Has the wolf reintroduction to Yellowstone been detrimental to elk herds in the park? They decide that each of the four data scientists will take a quadrant of the park to collect a sample from as randomly as possible. They decide they will collect the sample during the winter, the time the elk herds are most stressed. They agree to trust each others professional judgement when it comes to the health of the individual elk in the herd. They will give each elk a grade out of 3pts: 1 pt for sick, 2pts for fair, and 3pts for healthy. They then share their data and compare to create a final report on the overall health of the elk in the park. In this scenario, what kind of random sampling did the statisticians use?
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?
he federal government is interested in determining whether salary discrimination exists between men and women in the private sector. Suppose a sample of 16 women and 25 men are taken from the population of first-level managers in the private sector. The information is summarized as follows (amounts are in thousands of dollars): Women Men n 16 25 X¯ $26.4 $33.3 S $2.6 $3.2 Test H0 : µ1 = µ2 against H1 : µ1 = µ2 where µ1 and µ2 are the mean salary of first level female and male managers, respectively. Use α = 0.05 and assume equal variances. Test statistic = −2.68 and reject H0 Test statistic = −7.22 and reject H0 Test statistic = −2.68 and fail to reject H0 Test statistic = −7.22 and fail to reject H0
A telephone service representative believes that the proportion of customers completely satisfied with their local telephone service is different between the South and the Midwest. The representative's belief is based on the results of a survey. The survey included a random sample of 11601160 southern residents and 12601260 midwestern residents. 43%43% of the southern residents and 56%56% of the midwestern residents reported that they were completely satisfied with their local telephone service. Find the 80%80% confidence interval for the difference in two proportions. Step 3 of 3 : Construct the 80%80% confidence interval. Round your answers to three decimal places.
A random survey of health issues, conducted by the Department of Public Health of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, examined the results from the state's seven largest cities.

A researcher finds 1000 mildly overweight women who exercise regularly, have not had a heart attack, and are willing to participate in the study. She randomly assigns 500 of the women to take an appetite suppressant. The other 500 women are given a placebo. Both groups are followed for five years, and the amount of weight lost after this time is recorded. The response variable in the experiment is: a. the use of a control group taking a placebo. b. the length of the study. c. the weight lost by women in the study. d. the treatment taken by women in the study—appetite suppressant or placebo.
