A study was conducted among men in the United States in order to find out whether a mother’s use of hormones during her pregnancy affected her son’s risk of developing testicular cancer. Investigators selected 1000 men who were hospitalized for testicular cancer, and 1000 men of the same ages hospitalized for other, non-cancer conditions. The study found that of the men with testicular cancer, 400 of their mothers had used hormones during that pregnancy; and of the men with other non-cancer conditions, 100 of their mothers had used hormones during pregnancy A.Calculate the relative measure of association identified above B.Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the relative measure of association you identified above. C.Interpret your relative measure of association (remember to include magnitude and units if necessary) and confidence interval. Be sure to compare to the null value.
