Application # 3 People with diabetes often sustain vascular damage to their retina (a part of the eye). Levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are often used as a marker of the severity of retinal damage. In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers performed an experimental laser treatment on seven diabetic patients in the hopes of reducing the rate of retinal damage. They measured VEGF levels prior to treatment and then three weeks after and found that VEGF decreased by an average of 4.2 ng/ml with a sample standard deviation of 2.85 ng/ml. Across the seven subjects, the distribution of paired differences was symmetric with no outliers. Part C: Using the T or Z value you found in Part B, report the two-sided p-value. Please report your answer to three decimal places (ie: 0.XXX)

Is Your Nose Getting Bigger?Next time you see an elderly man, check out his nose and ears! While most parts of the human body stop growing as we reach adulthood, studies show that noses and ears continue to grow larger throughout our lifetime. In one study1 examining noses, researchers report "Age significantly influenced all analyzed measurements:" including volume, surface area, height, and width of noses. In a test to see whether males, on average, have bigger noses than females, the study indicates that "p<0.01."Let group 1 be males and group 2 be females.1Sforza C, Grandi G, De Menezes M, Tartaglia GM, Ferrario VF, "Age- and sex-related changes in the normal human external nose", Forensic Science International, 2011 Jan 30;204(1-3):205.e1-9.

Businesses know that customers often respond to background music. Do they also respond to odors? One study of this question took place in a small pizza restaurant in France on two Saturday evenings in May. On one of these evenings, a relaxing lavender odor was spread through the restaurant. On the other evening no scent was used. The data gives the time, in minutes, that two samples of 30 customers spent in the restaurant and the amount they spent in euros. No odor Lavender Minutes Euros spent Minutes Euros spent 103103 15.915.9 9292 21.921.9 6868 18.518.5 126126 18.518.5 7979 15.915.9 114114 22.322.3 106106 18.518.5 106106 21.921.9 7272 18.518.5 8989 18.518.5 121121 21.921.9 137137 24.924.9 9292 15.915.9 9393 18.518.5 8484 15.915.9 7676 22.522.5 7272 15.915.9 9898 21.521.5 9292 15.915.9 108108 21.921.9 8585 15.915.9 124124 21.521.5 6969 18.518.5 105105 18.518.5 7373 18.518.5 129129 25.525.5 8787 18.518.5 103103 18.518.5 109109 20.520.5 107107…
Early life corresponds to the first bacterial colonization of the digestive tract, creating a microbiome thought to play an important role in human development. What might be the effect of early exposure to antibiotics on children's development? One study followed 11,532 full-term babies all born in the county of Avon, United Kingdom, during 1991 and 1992. Exposures to antibiotics during infancy were recorded, along with measures of body mass at regular intervals over several years. The researchers found that antibiotic exposure during the first six months of life was associated with increased body mass later in childhood.
A hypothetical study looks at the effect of drinking alcohol on health. Across all genders and age groups, people who do not drink tend to be healthier on average than people who do drink. However, people who drink regularly are on average healthier than those people who have recently stopped drinking. Is it reasonable to conclude that for the sake of health, we should not start drinking, but if we have already started drinking alcohol, it is healthier to continue and not to stop?
A drug treatment can sometimes be affected by the use of another drug taken concomitantly. This is why doctors and pharmacists routinely ask patients about all the drugs they use, even the ones available over the counter. One study examined the impact of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on the efficacy of the antidepressant citalopram in clinically depressed individuals. Data from a large clinical trial were reviewed, and clinical remission from depressive symptoms was assessed for individuals who had taken NSAIDs concomitantly and those who had not. The findings are given in the table. NSAID use No NSAID use Remission 182 628 No remission 227 509 How strong is the evidence that concomitant NSAID use lowers the effectiveness of the antidepressant citalopram? Follow the four-step process.

(QUESTION 6) A study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of percutaneous transluminal-coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in patients with one-vessel coronary artery disease. A random sample of one hundred and seven patients with coronary artery disease were given PTCA. Patients were given exercise tests at baseline and after 6 months of follow-up. Exercise tests were performed up to maximal effort until symptoms (such as angina) were present. The "change" in the duration of exercise was calculated. "Change" is defined as the 6 month fest minus the baseline test. The mean change was 2.1 minutes and the standard deviation of the changes was 3.1. What statistical test can be performed to see if there has been a statistically significant change in duration of exercise for this group of patients given PTCA? • Compute a 95% confidence interval for the mean change in exercise duration. ● ● Can we conclude from this study that PTCA is effective in increasing exercise duration? Are there any…
The EPA records data on the fuel economy of many different makes of cars. They are interested in determining if one could predict the mileage of the car (in miles per gallon) from the weight of the car (in pounds). What is the response variable to this study?
Beryllium is an extremely lightweight metal that is used in many industries, such as aerospace and electronics. Long-term exposure to beryllium can cause people to become sensitized. Once an individual is sensitized, continued exposure can result in chronic beryllium disease, which involves scarring of the lungs. In a study of the effects of exposure to beryllium, workers were categorized by their duration of exposure (in years) and by their disease status (diseased, sensitized, or normal). The results were as follows: Duration of Exposure <1 1 to <5 ≥5 Diseased 14 13 18 Sensitized 11 20 15 Normal 78 140 209 Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude? State the null and alternate hypotheses.
