A pharmacist is concerned with recent rise in narcotic prescriptionssuch as Percocet (Oxycodone-Acetaminophen) and Vicodin(Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Acetaminophen), because unwittingpatients could take Tylenol (Acetaminophen) too.Too muchacetaminophen can result in permanent liver damage and even death!To check, the pharmacist counted the last 100 prescriptions she filledto see if more than 30% of all prescriptions involved either Percocetor Vicodin, which are both considered narcotics. As she checked eachprescription, she marked down 1 = "Narcotic" or 0 = "Non-narcotic".%DAs it turns out, 41 were for Percocet or Vicodin and 59 were not.Estimate with 95% confidence the proportion of the sampleprescriptions that are for narcotic pain killers:.41 +.0964.41 + .080930 + .0809.30 +.0964

A study shows that 80% of the population was vaccinated against the Venusian flu but 2% of the vaccinated population got the flu anyway. If 10% of the total population got this flu, what percent of the population either got the vaccine or got the disease?
As humans we consume food. The body extracts good things such as proteins and vitamins and throws away waste. A typical waste product is uric acid. High levels of uric acid can be an indication of conditions such as gout, kidney disease, and cancer. For females a high level of uric acid is 6 mg/dL or more and for males a high level of uric acid is 7 mg/dL or more. Suppose, over a period of months, an adult male was given 6 blood tests for uric acid. The results of each blood test are shown below. results 9.48 11.1 8.58 11.4 10.34 11.58 The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males is normally distributed with known population standard deviation, σ=1.94σ=1.94 mg/dl.Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean of uric acid in this adult male's blood. Assume the sample of blood tests were given in a way that's equivalent to a simple random sample.

The well-known psychologist Dr. Elbod has established what he calls his Generalized Anxiety Scale (GAS). The GAS, which is a scale from 0 to 10 , measures the "general anxiety" of an individual, with higher GAS scores corresponding to more anxiety. (Dr. Elbod's assessment of anxiety is based on a variety of measurements, both physiological and psychological.) We're interested in making predictions about individuals' sleep behavior based on their GAS scores. The bivariate data below give the GAS score (denoted by x ) and the number of hours of sleep last night (denoted by y ) for each of the fifteen adults participating in a study. A scatter plot of the data is shown in Figure 1.

Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a statistician by the name of Ronald Fisher. The town in which he lived, had a certain lady by the name of Muriel, who claimed that she had a special ability. She claimed that by merely tasting a cup of tea, she could identify whether milk had been added before the tea or tea had been added before the milk in the brewing process. Now Fisher was highly suspicious about whether this lady was in fact making a genuine claim. Fisher decided to prepare 8 cups of tea. For 4 of the cups, he added milk before adding the tea and for the remaining 4 cups he added tea before adding the milk. In all other aspects, the preparation of the 8 cups were identical. He then presented the 8 cups to Muriel for drinking and she identified every cup correctly. From here, we assume the following If Muriel had no special ability, she guesses randomly and her chance of guessing each cup correctly is 0.5. Muriel did not see how any of the 8 cups of tea was…

In February 2021, the Chicago Tribune reported:“The overdose epidemic that has ravaged Chicago has not spared the nearby suburbs, some of which have death rates comparable to anything seen in the city, according to a report released this week by the Cook County Department of Public Health. ZIP codes in the towns of Worth, Broadview, Maywood, and Forest Park, areas that “have substantially lower median household incomes and higher poverty rates,” have been especially hard-hit, the report said.”In the article, they claimed that lower incomes were associated with higher overdose death rates and that overdose death rates are increasing over time. The data you have been analyzing wasn’t focused on Chicago, obviously. But do your results support the general gist of the statistical argument being made in this Tribune excerpt? Please address:• Do overdose death rates appear to be associated with per capita income (use scatterplot)?• Do overdose death rates appear to be increasing over time…
In North America, between 100 million and 1 billion birds die each year by crashing into windows on buildings, more than any other human-related cause. This figure represents up to 5% of all birds in the area. One possible solution is to construct windows angled downward slightly so that they reflect the ground rather than an image of the sky to a flying bird. An experiment by Klem et al. (2004) compared the number of birds that died as a result of vertical windows, windows angled 20 degrees off vertical, and windows angled 40 degrees off vertical. The angles were randomly assigned with equal probability to six windows and changed daily; assume for this exercise that windows and window locations were identical in every respect except angle. Over the course of the experiment, 30 birds were killed by windows in the vertical orientation, 15 were killed by windows set at 20 degrees off vertical, and 8 were killed by windows set at 40 degrees off vertical. a. Clearly state an appropriate…
Over doses from opioids have captured the national spotlight. Rightly so - they kill nearly 30,000 Americas a year and cause more than 1 million hospitalizations. However, the misuse of over-the-counter pain medications (e.g. Tylenol, Advil, Aleve) can cause stomach bleeding, ulcers, liver disease and, in some cases, death. Approximately 80% of Americans use these medications to relieve headaches, backaches, sore muscles, and reduce fever but they are unaware of the dangers if the drugs are not used correctly. A random sample (n=101) of adults were given a questionnaire to ask the question "How often do you use pain medication in one day?". Using the output, histogram, box-whisker plot, and the QQ Plot attached - check the assumption of normality for this data. PainNormalitylnformationoutputhistbox 210317.pdf. 1. continuous 2.

Some commercial airlines recirculate about half the air in the cabin during flights as a way to improve fuel efficiency. Other airlines make a policy of NOT recirculating the air and instead, have fresh air from the atmosphere constantly being inserted into the cabin with the “old” air being pumped out of the plane. A total of 1100 passengers flying from San Francisco to Denver were used for an experiment. After their flight, they were each given a list of symptoms associated with the common cold. They were asked to report if they experienced cold symptoms within 24 hours of the flight landing. Of the 517 passengers who flew on planes that recirculate the air, 108 reported post-flight cold symptoms. Of the 583 passengers who flew on airlines that do not use recirculation in the cabin, 110 reported symptoms. Suppose now that we want to use the recirculation of air data to explore “Goal #2”, which is to resolve a hypothesis test about . a) If we want to resolve this hypothesis…
Are cigarettes bad for people? Cigarette smoking involves tar, carbon monoxide, and nicotine (measured in milligrams). The first two are definitely not good for a person's health, and the last ingredient can cause addiction.
You are on placement in a GP practice which holds a nurse-led asthma clinic once a week. The nurse practitioner in charge of the clinic tells you that asthma affects around 11% of the Australian population, and results in around 40,000 hospital admissions each year. She also tells you that the common pharmacological treatments can have long-term side effects, so she is keen to promote holistic methods to assist patients in controlling their asthma. You are interested to know whether diet can have an effect on asthma, and decide to find out. Construct a searchable clinical question using the PICO formula, identifying the PICO elements clearly.
For each of the following relationships, predict whether they are cause-effect, accidental, or common-cause. Explain your conclusion and, if they are cause-effect, explain which causes the other and why. a) Students with a shorter travel time to school have lower test scores. b) Children with more books in their home are more likely to earn a PhD when they grow up. c) People born between the 15th and 25th of any month are more likely to have a cell phone number ending in "26"
