Between 1918 and 1920 a disturbingly deadly outbreak of influenza (flu) tore across the globe infecting the third of the world's population. Of the 500 million people infected, the mortality rate was estimated to be about 20%. This year, World Health Organization (WHO) reported that as of 5:05 pm Central European Summer Time (CEST), on October 25, 2020, there have been 42,512,186 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the world, including 1,147,310 deaths. Is it safe to state that COVID-19 did not yet reached the mortality rate of 1918 flu pandemic as of August 12, 2020? a. State the null and the alternative hypotheses b. Show calculations and state whether or not the null hypothesis is rejected. c. State your conclusion addressing the original claim.

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. Round to the tenth decima
5. A pet food company randomly chooses two groups of 20 puppies for a study. One group eats a new brand of dog food and the other group eats an off-brand dog food for a period of 4 weeks. Researchers record muscular and skeletal growth rates in both groups. What type of study is being described?
A study is run to estimate the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in men and women over the age of 60. Development of atrial fibrillation was monitored over a 10-year follow-up period. The data are summarized below. Using this data, compute the cumulative incidence of AF in men and in women respectively. Developed AF Did not Develop AF Men 133 6153 Women 79 7167
Assume the below life table was constructed from following individuals who were diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of prostate cancer and decided not to receive treatment of any form. Calculate the survival probability at year 1 using the Kaplan-Meir approach and interpret the results. Time in Years Number at Risk, Nt Number of Deaths, Dt Number Censored, Ct Survival Probability 0 20 1 1 20 3 2 17 1 3 16 2 1 The probability of surviving 1 year after being diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of prostate cancer is .85. The probability of surviving 1 year after being diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of prostate cancer is .85 for the individuals being followed in this study. The probability of surviving 1 year after being diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of prostate cancer is .85 for individuals who decided against all forms of treatment. The probability of surviving 1 year after being…
It's very uncommon for researchers to amass large amounts of data over time before feeding them into a computer for analysis. What is the purpose of this?
How many generations of natural selection will it take for the frequency of a recessive lethal allele to drop from 17% to 0.1%?
In a Denver community, 50 cases of diabetes were reported among 15-19 years old out of a total population of 46,000 between September 1 to December 31, 2016. Ten percent (4,600) of the population were between 15-19 years old on April 1, 2016 and the size and age distribution of the population has remained constant. An investigation of the cases in the 15-19-year age group revealed that 22 of the reported cases were contracted prior to September 1. In addition, another 18 cases developed in April and May but were clinically resolved before September 1. What was the cumulative incidence rate of disease in 15-19 year olds per 1,000 population in this Denver community during the period September 1 to December 31, 2016?
