(Case Study) A group of children who lived near a lead smelter in El Paso, Texas, were identified and their blood levels of lead were measured. An exposed group of 80 children were identified who had blood-lead levels 2 40 ug/ mL in 1972-1973, and it was identified as group 2. A control group of 112 children were also identified who had blood-lead levels < 40 ug / mL in 1972-1973, and was identified as group-1. For both groups, the number of finger-wrist taps in the dominant hands (MAXFWT) for the both groups are displayed with a box plot as shown below: M 70 80 A F W 55 49 49 40 Group-1 Group-2 How many children in the control group have the number of finger-wrist taps in the dominant hands between 49 and 70?

1. Metal Tags on Penguins and Length of Foraging Trips. Data were collected over a 10-year timespan from a sample of penguins that were randomly given either metal or electronic tags. One variable examined is the length of foraging trips. Longer foraging trips can jeopardize both breeding success and survival of chicks waiting for food. From a sample of 344 foraging trips for metal-tagged penguins, the mean length was 12.70 days. From a sample of 512 foraging trips for electronic-tagged penguins, mean length was 11.60 days. Test whether foraging trips are longer on average among metal-tagged penguins than among electronic-tagged penguins. a. State hypotheses in terms of two means. b. Calculate the sample statistic XM - XE c. An estimate of the standard error for this difference of means is SE-0.2834. Calculate a test statistic to two decimal places. d. What is the correct theoretical distribution for this test? ☐Normal ☐t with degrees of freedom e. Find the p-value and draw a…
Consider the following measurements of blood hemoglobin concentrations (in g/dL) from three human populations at different geographic locations: population1 = [ 14.7 , 15.22, 15.28, 16.58, 15.10 ] population2 = [ 15.66, 15.91, 14.41, 14.73, 15.09] population3 = [ 17.12, 16.42, 16.43, 17.33] Perform ANOVA to check if any of these populations have different mean hemoglobin concentrations. (Assume that all the ANOVA requirements such as normality, equal variances and random samples are met.) After you perform ANOVA perform a Tukey-Kramer post-hoc test at a significance level of 0.05 to see which populations actually have different means. As usual, round all answers to two digits after the decimal point. (Make sure you round off to at least three digits any intermediate results in order to obtain the required precision of the final answers.) For any questions, which ask about differences in means or test statistics, which depend on differences in means provide absolute values. In…
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and also one of the most important. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of calcium for adults is 800 milligrams (mg). A random sample of 18 people with incomes below the poverty level gives the following daily calcium intakes: 686, 433, 743, 647, 734, 641, 993, 620, 574, 634, 850, 858, 992, 775, 1113, 672, 879, 609 At the 1% significance level, do the data provides sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean calcium intake of all people with income levels below the poverty level is less than the RDA of 800 mg?

Part 1 of 4 The restaurants of a fast food chain are primarily located in three regions of Arizona. The CEO of the chain wants to know if the average monthly revenue of the restaurants in each region are equal. The monthly revenues (in thousads of dollars) for this past month of the restaurants in each of the three regions are given below. Conduct an ANOVA test using a 5% level of significance to determine whether or not the average monthly revenues in the three regions are equal. Monthly Revenues of Restaurants in Region 1: 179, 183.3, 156.8, 155.1, 253, 105.4, 219, 134.3, 119.9, 193.1, 188.5, 188.4 Monthly Revenuse of Restaurants in Region 2: 158.7, 175.2, 187.8, 187.1, 118.1, 179.5, 195.1, 199.7, 349.6, 226.5, 253.7, 287.4, 172.8, 290.5, 149 Monthly Revenuse of Restaurants in Region 3: 215.4, 199.8, 360.7, 273, 250, 214.2, 144.5, 165, 137, 187.6 Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses.

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP: A case-control study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between physical activity and coronary heart disease (CHD) in men. A total of 406 men newly diagnosed with CHD were included together with 406 men of similar ages who did not have CHD. The risk of CHD (measured by the OR) was higher among men who were inactive or only moderately active (collectively called ‘inactive’) than among those who were physically active: (See attached image) Odds ratio for inactive men compared to active men= (299 x 136)/(270 x 107)=1.41Suppose there is no misclassification in these data.What would the observed OR have been... 1. If 20% of all the inactive men had been misclassified as active? 2. If 10 % of inactive cases had been misclassified as active?
A substance abuse counselor wants to demonstrate the effect of situational stress on alcohol cravings. He recruits two groups of men who are similar in respect to history of alcohol use and demographic variables. He divides them in to two groups. In one group(n=11), the men are exposed to a stressful situation and then asked to complete a measure rating their alcohol cravings on a scale from 0-10, where 0 representsno cravings and 10 represents intense cravings. In the second group (n=10), the men are exposed to a neutral situation and asked to complete the same measure. What test and graph should I create to find out if a stressful situation result in more intense alcohol cravings than a non-stressful situation?
A quality control engineer at Shell visits 80 gas stations and collects a fuel sample from each. She measures the sulphur content in the gas and sorts the samples into 4 different batches. She finds: 19 samples with less than 180 ppm sulphur, 20 samples with between 180 and 230 ppm, 23 samples with between 230 and 280 ppm, and 18 samples with more than 280 ppm. Does the sulphur content of gas follow a normal distribution with a mean of 230 ppm and a standard deviation of 50 ppm at the 5% significance level
Two separate samples receive two different treatments. The first treatment group (N = 9) has a mean of 50 with SS = 710. The second treatment group (N = 6) has a mean of 60 with SS = 460. Is the second treatment group significantly larger than the first? What is the effect size?
The Wisconsin Fish and Game Department stocked a lake with 30% catfish, 15 % bass, 40% bluegill, and 15% Northern Pike. Five years later they took a random sample of 500 fish from the lake and found 120 catfish, 85 bass, 220 bluegill, and 75 Northern Pike. At the 5% level of significance, can we show that the distribution of fish changed over the 5-year interval? State and test appropriate hypotheses. State conclusions.

5. Dementia is a common mental health problem affecting those over 65. It is believed that of those that have dementia, 31% worsen in mental cognition. Acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) is a drug that is used to determine if it will be beneficial with those with dementia. In a clinical trial, 98 patients are given the drug and their cognition is observed. Of the 98 patients, only 28 worsened. Construct a test to determine whether ALC decreased the proportion of patients who worsen from dementia. a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. b) Find the test statistic. Round to two decimal places. c) Find the p-value. Round to four decimal places. d) What is your decision at a 1% significance?
The National Cancer Institute conducted a 2-year study to determine whether cancer death rates for areas near nuclear power plants are higher than for areas without nuclear facilities. A spokesperson for the Cancer Institute said, "From the data at hand, there was no convincing evidence of any increased risk of death from any of the cancers surveyed due to living near nuclear facilities." Let p denote the proportion of the population in areas near nuclear power plants who die of cancer during a given year. The researchers at the Cancer Institute have considered the null and alternative hypotheses below: А. Họ: p = value for areas without nuclear facilities Hạ: p> value for areas without nuclear facilities According to the spokesperson's statement, what is the conclusion of the National Cancer Institute? Select one of the following: Reject Ho Fail to reject Ho Reject Ha Fail to reject Ha
