An investigator wants to assess whether the use of a specific medication given to infants bom prematurely is associated with developmental delay. Fifty infants who were given the medication and fifty comparison infants who were also born prematurely but not given the medication will be selected for the analysis. Each infant will undergo extensive testing at age 2 for various aspects of development. Identify the type of study proposed and indicate its specific strengths and weaknesses.

Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.
Evaluate the effectiveness of alternative screening tests when given appropriate information.
12. The quadratic mean (or root mean square, RMS) is usually used in physical applications. In power distribution systems, for example, voltages and currents are usually referred to in terms of their root mean square value. The quadratic mean of a set of values is obtained by squaring each value, adding the results, dividing by the number of values (n), and then taking the square root of that result, expressed as n RMS = quadratic mean = Find the root mean square of these power supplies (in volts): 82, 110, 99, 35
A researcher is studying a new treatment protocol to combat a certain disease. The interest is in comparing the performance of the new treatment with the standard treatment method. In a survey on the subject, a first group of 250 patients received standard treatment, while a second group of 185 patients received the new treatment. Among subjects treated with the standard method, 88 were not recovered, while 39 were not recovered among those treated with the new protocol. Statistical analysis should be done to evaluate and compare treatment options. Perform an appropriate statistical hypothesis test to see whether the rate of people with disease persistence (ie, the non-recovery rate) was lower among those who received the new treatment. The hypothesis test must use a significance level of α=0.09 a. What is the value of the test statistic? b. What range of values is the p-value in? c. At the 9% significance level, can the null hypothesis be rejected?
Identify the TEST for the below scenario and explain why you will choose the test for the analysis: In a hospital for one year the comorbidities of alcoholic and non-alcoholic patients were studied. Which test will be used to understand that alcoholic patients are more susceptible to comorbidities?
What source of variation is found in an ANOVA summary table for a within subjects design that is not in an ANOVA summary table for a between subjects design. What happens to this source of variation in a between-subjects design?
Do test scores at pre-treatment differ from test scores at post-treatment? Note, this analysis should be conducted ignoring the treatment group they are in. Do male and female subjects differ on their pre-test score performance? Knowing the number of hours the student studied for the exam, can you predict their post-test scores? Is there a significant relationship between subject’s IQ and pre-test scores? Do the three treatments differ significantly from one another at pre-test? Do student IQ scores differ significantly from the population (μ = 100 & σ = 15)? Create your own research question based on the data. (All analyses are to be tested at α =.05, two tailed)

A team of epidemiologists at the Mayo Clinic wanted to find whether there is an association between obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). They conducted a prospective cohort study following obese and non-obese individuals who were free of CVD at the beginning of study for five years. The investigators were also interested in assessing age as a potential confounder, effect modifier, or both. Use the data below to answer the accompanying questions. CVD No CVD Total Obese 10 90 100 Not Obese 35 465 500 Total 45 555 600 CVD No CVD Total Obese 36 164 200 Not Obese 25 175 200 Total 61 339 400 1. Compute the appropriate measure of association for those who were less than age 50. 2. Compute the appropriate measure of association for those who were older or equal to age 50. 3.

Identifying individuals with a high risk of Alzheimer’s disease usually involves a long series of cognitive tests. However, researchers have developed a 7-Minute Screen, which is a quick and easy way to accomplish the same goal. The question is whether the 7-Minute Screen is as effective as the complete series of tests. To address this question, Ijuin et al. (2008) administered both tests to a group of patients and compared the results. The following data represent results similar to those obtained in the study: Patient 7-Minute Screen Cognitive Tests A 3 11 B 8 19 C 10 22 D 8 20 E 4 14 F 7 13 G 4…
