A team of consultants has identified a set of 10 clinical symptoms they believe may help an insurance company predict how long a person will be off work after suffering whiplash injury in a car accident.Each symptom is assessed separately as 0=absent, 1=present. To determine exactly how useful these 10 symptoms are, 200 patients with whiplash injuries were assessed within 7 days of their accident and then followed up until all had returned to work.Which of the following methods is best for analyzing the results from this study. _Multiple linear regression _Single linear regression _Pearson correlation coefficient of total symptom score against time off work. _Spearman correlation coefficient of total symptom score against time off work

In elderly Americans, a new blood test is being developed to diagnose a particular disease. Suppose the sensitivity of this test is 80% and specificity is 70%. If it is known that 25% of them have the particular disease, then calculate the negative predictive value.
The authors of a paper compared two different instruments for measuring a person's capacity for breathing out air. (This measurement is helpful in diagnosing various lung disorders.) The two instruments considered were a Wright peak flow meter and a mini-Wright peak flow meter. Seventeen people participated in the study, and for each person air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter. The Wright meter is thought to provide a better measure of air flow, but the mini-Wright meter is easier to transport and to use. Use of the mini-Wright meter could be recommended as long as there is not convincing evidence that the mean reading for the mini-Wright meter is different from the mean reading for Wright meter. For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that it is reasonable to consider the 17 people who participated in this study as representative of the population of interest. Data values from this paper are given in the accompanying table.…

A research study was conducted at a local college collecting data on the models (brands) of cars parked in the student parking lot. This type of data collected would be considered/described as Qualitative Data or Quantitative Data?
PLEASE ANSWER ASAP: A case-control study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between physical activity and coronary heart disease (CHD) in men. A total of 406 men newly diagnosed with CHD were included together with 406 men of similar ages who did not have CHD. The risk of CHD (measured by the OR) was higher among men who were inactive or only moderately active (collectively called ‘inactive’) than among those who were physically active: (See attached image) Odds ratio for inactive men compared to active men= (299 x 136)/(270 x 107)=1.41Suppose there is no misclassification in these data.What would the observed OR have been... 1. If 20% of all the inactive men had been misclassified as active? 2. If 10 % of inactive cases had been misclassified as active?
A special education teacher did research on whether or not there is a relationship between the number of students in his class and the number incidents of “acting out” behaviors exhibited by the autistic students in the classroom. He collects data for a year and aggregates them by month. He obtained the statistics below, r= -.863 R2=.74 b= -1.212294 a= 131.176598 10.) How does the presence of more students affect the incidents in the class? a) as students are added the incidences increase b) as students are added the incidences decrease c) the number of students does not affect acting out d) the number of students caused more incidents How much of the variability of acting out is explained by the number of students in the class?___________

In a population-based cohort study, an entire community was interviewed regarding smoking habits and then followed for one year. Upon ascertainment of all lung cancer deaths, the investigator obtained the following data: Number of Individuals Lung Cancer Deaths Smokers 24,500 15 Nonsmokers 10,500 2 Calculate the risk difference per 100,000 per year.

As the manager of a fashion brand, you have recently run a large-scale campaign to draw attention to your company's CSR activities and thus improve the brand's image. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the campaign, you conducted a survey at major fashion stores to measure the attitudes towards. your brand at two points of time: before the campaign started and after the campaign finished. By summing up respondents' answers to 3 questions (each measuring a particular aspect of attitude on a 1-5 scale), a single overall measure of attitude is obtained for each participant. This measure can therefore range from 3 to 15, with a score of 3 representing and extremely negative attitude and a score of 15 representing an extremely positive attitude. To check whether male and female customers have different attitudes towards you company, as well as to test whether the campaign may have affected males and females differently, you ask the respondents to report their gender. You analyse the…
Refer to the journal for the following items: A Case Series of Gastrointestinal Tuberculosis in Renal Transplant Patients Tuberculosis is a disease relatively frequent in renal transplant patients, presenting a wide variety of clinical manifestations, often involving various organs and potentially fatal. Gastrointestinal tuberculosis, although rare in the general population, is about 50 times more frequent in renal transplant patients. Intestinal tuberculosis has a very difficult investigational approach, requiring a high clinical suspicion for its diagnosis. Therapeutic options may be a problem in the context of an immunosuppressed patient, requiring adjustment of maintenance therapy. The authors report two cases of isolated gastro-intestinal tuberculosis in renal transplant recipients that illustrates the difficulty of making this diagnosis and a brief review of the literature on its clinical presentation, diagnosis, and therapeutic approach. Gastrointestinal tuberculosis among the…
