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)

A cohort study is conducted to assess the association between hypertension and the risk of stroke. The study involves n=1,250 participants who are free of stroke at the study start. Each participant is assessed at study start (baseline) and every year thereafter for five years. The following table displays data on hypertension status measured at baseline and hypertension status measured two years later. 2 Years: Not Hypertensive 2 Years: Hypertensive Baseline: Not Hypertensive 850 148 Baseline: Hypertensive 45 207 Compute the cumulative incidence of hypertension over 2 years.

Question 7: A research team is interested in the effect of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) in reducing children’s disruptive behaviors for children with disruptive behavior disorders (DBD). The research team recruited 12 families with a child with DBD and interviewed the parents about the number of disruptive behaviors the child has at home. After three weeks' therapy, the research interviewed again about the child's disruptive behaviors. The disruptive before and after the therapy is list below. Test the researcher’s hypothesis at a 0.05 significant level. List 4 steps.

Researchers are studying pomegranate’s antioxidant properties to see if it might have any beneficial effects in the treatment of cancer. One such study investigated whether pomegranate fruit extract (PFE) was effective in slowing the growth of prostate cancer tumors. In this study, 24 mice were injected with cancer cells, then the mice were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. The data on y = average tumor volume (in mm3) and x = number of days after injection of cancer cells for the mice that received plain drinking water is shown in picture below: a. Find (to three decimal places) zy, and zxzy for the pair (23,580): zy = zxzy = b. Compute Pearson’s sample correlation coefficient for the given data to four decimal places. c. Compute the slope, b, for the least-squares regression line to two decimal places d. Use b to calculate a and write the equation for the least-squares regression line a= y= e. Predict the average tumor volume (y) for a mouse 20 days…
A certain training device measures reaction times of users by illuminating lights, one at a time, and measuring the time it takes the user to press each light to turn it off. The makers of the device are marketing it for high-level training, saying that even among professional athletes, the proportion who can score the top ranking of "light speed" is less than 22% . As a fitness trainer who wants to buy the device to attract more customers, you want to feel comfortable that the claim made by the makers is correct. To test the claim, you decide to perform a hypothesis test. To do so, you rent the device and have a random sample of 130 professional athletes use it; 26 score a ranking of "light speed." You confirm that it is appropriate to perform a Z -test. Why is a Z -test appropriate? Find z , the value of the test statistic for your Z -test. Round your answer to three or more decimal places. =z

In addition to therapy, anti-depressant drugs are used in the treatment of depression. The data below are from a study comparing two anti-depressant drugs. A baseline measurement for symptomatic behavior for depression is taken. After treatment with medication, another measurement taken. The data given in the table is for improvement which is for the reduction in symptomatic behavior.

Question The relationship between United States unemployment and inflation rates during the Covid-19 pandemic. Background The covid-19 pandemic has led to higher unemployment rates in the United States than normal because many people were laid off jobs in response to the pandemic (Al-Fadly, 2020). It is important to analyze how such as sharp increase in unemployment affected inflation in relation to how unemployment have traditionally affected inflation. The overall relationship between unemployment and inflation has traditionally been an inverse one. It is argued that when unemployment rates are higher, the number of individuals who are looking for jobs usually becomes higher than the number of job positions that are available (Putnam & Azzarello, 2015). In such a situation, employers tend to pay lower wages because there is abundance of workers which naturally leads to a lower wage inflation. This study will examine the relationship between unemployment rates and inflation…
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.
Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory disease which affects the spine and sacroiliac joint and can lead to the fusing of vertebrae in the spine. Exercise is important in helping manage pain, therefore a pharmaceutical company wanted to test if their new biologic would increase the time a patient could exercise before experiencing discomfort. The following table gives the time (in minutes) seven patients were able to exercise before reporting pain, both at baseline and then again after six months of taking the biologic.Exercise Time (in minutes)Subject 1 Baseline 30 Post-treatment 40Subject 245 40Subject 350 60Subject 435 37Subject 555 60Subject 620 25Subject 775 75Assume the population(s) of all exercise times is (are) normally distributed. Use JMP to test whether the evidence suggests that the time a person with ankylosing spondylitis can exercise before experiencing discomfort increases after taking this new biologic. Validate the test statistic from JMP by computing it manually.…
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.
