An article in Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, "Arthroscopic meniscal repair with an absorbablescrew: results and surgical technique," (2005, Vol. 13, pp. 273-279) cites a success rate more than 90% formeniscal tears with a rim width of less than 3 mm, but only a 67% success rate for tears of 3-6 mm. If you areunlucky enough to suffer a meniscal tear of less than 3 mm on your left knee, and one of width 3-6 mm on yourright knee, what is the probability mass function of the number of successful surgeries, x? Assume the surgeriesare independent.Choose the correct answer.O P(x = 0) = 0.2, P(x = 1) = 0.4, P(x = 2) = 0.4O P(x = 0) = 0.033, P(x = 1) = 0.42, P(x = 2) = 0.603O P(x = 0) = 0.067, P(x = 1) = 0.364, P(x = 2) = 0.603O P(x = 0) = 0.033, P(x = 1) = 0.364, P(x = 2) = 0.603= 0.067, P(x = 1) = 0.42, P(x = 2) = 0.603

The toco toucan, the largest member of the toucan family, possesses the largest beak relative to body size of all birds. This exaggerated feature has received various interpretations, such as being a refined adaptation for feeding. However, the large surface area may also be an important mechanism for radiating heat (and hence cooling the bird) as outdoor temperature increases. The table contains data for beak heat loss, as a percentage of total body heat loss from all sources, at various temperatures in degrees Celsius. The data show that beak heat loss is higher at higher temperatures and that the relationship is roughly linear.

Fifty patients suffering from knee pain have volunteeredto participate in an experiment to examine the effects ofpain relief medication. Half will be assigned to take 400mg of the pain reliever every six hours, and the other halfto take 200 mg every 3 hours. The patients will reporttheir pain levels on a 1–10 scale at the beginning of theexperiment and again after 8 days on the medication.a) Define the experimental units and the response variable.b) What are the treatments? c) Describe an appropriate method to assign the volun-teers to treatments. d) An alternate design could include a control groupwho take a placebo. Describe an advantage of addinga control group.

They are examining three different blanching processes to determine which is best in terms of vitamin A retention (mg/100mg). The data collected and partial ANOVA results appears above. The F-statistic value is F = 27.57. O F = 2.215. O F = 23.267. F = 3.22.
4. Captopril is a drug designed to lower systolic blood pressure. When subjects were treated with this drug, their systolic blood pressure readings (in mm Hg) were measured before and after the drug was taken. Results are given in the accompanying table (based on data from “Essential Hypertension: Effect of an Oral Inhibitor of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme”, by MacGregor et al., BMJ, Vol. 2). Using a 0.01 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that captopril has an effect on systolic blood pressure? Explain why statistical methods from Z-interval, Z-test, T-interval or T-test –cannot be used for this problem. Then, use the sign test to conduct the required test in R studio. Please show your work.

NCI Cancer Bulletin, December 2, 2008 Volume 5 / Number 24 Title of the article: After Menopause, Weight Affects Breast Cancer Rates More than Mammography Use Women who are overweight or obese after menopause face an increased risk of breast cancer, but a large prospective cohort study indicates that the frequency of mammography use and screening accuracy are not the primary explanations for higher rates of breast cancer in these women. The same is true of large, invasive breast cancer tumors and advanced stage disease; risk increases with weight, but higher rates are not explained by the frequency or accuracy of screening mammography before breast cancer was diagnosed. The study appears in the December 3 Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Karla Kerlikowske of the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center and colleagues gathered data on 287,115 postmenopausal women who were registered in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium database. Reflecting a trend in the…
PLE collects a variety of data from special studies, many of which are related to the quality of its products. The company collects data about functional test performance of its mowers after assembly; results from the past 30 days are given in the worksheet Mower Test. In addition, many in-process measurements are taken to ensure that manufacturing processes remain in control and can produce according to design specifications. The worksheet Blade Weight shows 350 measurements of blade weights taken from the manufacturing process that produces mower blades during the most recent shift. Elizabeth Burke has asked you to study these data from an analytics perspective. Drawing upon your experience, you have developed a number of questions: For the mower test data, what distribution might be appropriate to model the failure of an individual mower? What fraction of mowers fails the functional performance test using all the mower test data? What is the probability of having x failures in the…
Your company manufactures plastic wrap for food storage. The tear resistance of the wrap, denoted by X, must be controlled so that the wrap can be torn off the roll without too much effort but it does not tear too easily when in use. In a series of tests (see data table below), 15 rolls of wrap are made under carefully controlled conditions and the tear resistance of each rool is measured. The results are used as the basis of a quality assurance specification. If X for a subsequently produced roll falls more than two standard deviations away from the test period average, the process is declared out of specification and production is suspended for routine maintenance.

A study was made of 413 children who were hospitalized as a result of motor vehicle crashes. Among 290 children who were not using seat belts, 60 were injured severely. Among 123 children using seat belts, 16 were injured severely (based on data from "Morbidity Among Pediatric Motor Vehicle Crash Victims: The Effectiveness of Seat Belts," by Osberg and Di Scala, American Journal of Public Health, Vol. 82, No. 3). For this problem we want to know, is there sufficient sample evidence to conclude, at the 0.05 significance level, that the proportion of severe injuries is higher for children not wearing seat belts? Let pi be the proportion of severe injuries among all children not wearing seatbelts and who were involved in crashes. Let p2 be the proportion of severe injuries among all children wearing seatbelts and who were involved in crashes. Which is the proper expression of Ho? Pi = P2 O Pi P2 Which is the proper expression of H1? O pi P2 Calculate p1 to 4 decimal places: Calculate p,…
