A pharmaceutical company is formulating a new medication that prevents painfulgout attacks. However, the lead researchers are also mindful of its impacts to thehuman liver, which can be indicated by monitoring levels of alanine aminotransferase(or ALT, in U/L units). If the ALT levels exceed an average of 55 U/L, there is anindication of the drug having damaging effects to the liver. Let us assume that ALTlevels are normally distributed with standard deviation of 15.7 U/L.To determine the consequence of this new drug, they randomly selected 162 adultmen with gout and monitored levels of alanine aminotransferase (or ALT, in U/Lunits) after taking the new medicine for 6 months.From the sample, it is found that the average ALT level is 59 U/L. It is suspectedlevels are significantly increased. Conduct a test of significance with a=0.05.What is your conclusion in the context of the problem?There is an indication of the new medication having damaging effects to thehuman liver as indicated by the significantly decreased ALT levels.There is an indication of the new medication having damaging effects to thehuman liver as indicated by the significantly increased ALT levels.There is no indication of the new medication having damaging effects to thehuman liver as indicated by a lack of sufficient evidence to support significantlydifferent ALT levels.At 95% level of significance, there is no indication of the new medication havingdamaging effects to the human liver.There is no indication of the new medication having damaging effects to thehuman liver as indicated by a lack of sufficient evidence to support significantlyincreased ALT levels.

The bacterium Staphylococcus aureus is commonly found on the skin and rarely causes major problems. If it gets under the skin or into the lungs it can cause boils or pneumonia. If the strain of bacterium causing these problems is resistant to methicillin, the infections can be life threatening. Methicillin resistant Staphy- lococcus aureus or MRSA is, therefore, a major concern in hospitals and clinics. Given the death rate from MRSA lung infections is 20%, if 20 patients are admitted in the hospital find the following probabilities: (a) Less than 3 die (b) At least 3 die. (c) Between 6 and 3 die.
Average IQ scores for young school children are known to be 100 (SD = 15). However, the literature indicates that children’s intelligence may be decreased if their mothers have German measles during pregnancy. Using hospital records, a researcher obtained a sample of n = 25 school children whose mothers all had German measles during their pregnancies. Do the data indicate that children born to mothers who had German measles during the pregnancy have significantly lower IQ scores than typical young school children?

A research team is interested in investigating the effectiveness of a new medication intended to reduce resting heart rate (beats per minute, BPM) in overweight patients. In order to test the medication, the researcher organizes a clinical trial with participants randomly assigned to receive either the new medication or a placebo. Suppose the following table represents the heart rates for a SRS from both groups. Data for the placebo group are {71, 71, 68, 67, 68, 69, 70, 70, 69, 72, 73} Data for the treatment group are {67, 66, 64, 64, 65, 64, 59, 63, 71, 64} Sample standard deviation for the placebo group is: 1.834 Sample standard deviation for the treatment group is: 3.057 What is the confidence interval?

Albumin is a liver protein that helps circulate vitamins throughout the body. Reduced Albumin has been associated with severe illness with Covid-19 patients. Suppose we wanted to conduct a study to compare the mean Albumin concentration (g/L) between a sample of adult patients hospitalized for Covid 19 (Sample Mean= 32.8, s=6.0) to the mean albumin concentration (g/L) of healthy adults (u=34.1, o=7.13). How many patients would need to enroll from the hospital to conduct this study with 99% confidence, and 80% power? A. 267 B. 120 C. 352 D. 225
A group of 10-year-old boys were first ascertained in a camp for diabetic boys. They had their weight measured at baseline and again when they returned to camp 1 year later. Each time, a serum sample was obtained from which a determination of hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) was made. HgbA1c (also called glycosylated hemoglobin) is routinely used to monitor compliance with taking insulin injections. Usually, the poorer the compliance, the higher the HgbA1c level will be. The hypothesis is that the level HgbA1c is related to weight. The data in Table 11.28 were obtained. 11.95 Compute a rank correlation between change in weight and change in HgbA1c, each over 1 year. Use this measure to directly test the hypothesis that change in weight over 1 year is related to change in HgbA1c. Report a two-tailed p-value, and provide a 95% confidence interval for the underlying rank correlation.

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)
A study is planned to investigate risk factors for sudden cardiac death. A cohort of men and women between the ages of 35 and 70 is enrolled and followed for up to 20 years. As part of the study, participants provide data on demographic and behavioral characteristics; they also undergo testing for cardiac function and provide blood samples to assess lipid profiles and other biomarkers. A new measure of inflammation is hypothesized to be related to sudden cardiac death. Describe its strengths and weaknesses.
