Consider Mintz's (1980) study on possible birth defects in children born to mothers who have used benedictine. The study, reported to the Food and Drug Administration by Dr. Herschel Jick of the Boston Drug Surveillance Program, was done in collaboration with the Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound, Washington. The survey included 2966 mothers who used the drug in pregnancy and 4663 mothers who did not. Six relatively severe limb disorders were found in each group. a) create a contingency (2x2 ) table with the information provided above b) Carry out a test of possible association between the use of benedictine by mothers and birth defects in children. Calculate 95% confidence limits of the measure of association.

A warehouse manager wants to know if there is an association between the shift worked and being on time for work. To investigate, he selects a random sample of 70 workers and classifies each one according to the shift they worked most recently and whether they were on time for work. He was unable to classify a substantial number of people as being on time, so he classified those individuals as unknown. The data are displayed in the table. The manager would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence of an association between the shift worked and being on time in the large population of all workers at this warehouse. The random and 10% conditions are met. Is the Large Counts condition met? Yes, the smallest expected count is 5, so all expected counts are at least 5. Yes, the smallest expected count is 8.54, so all expected counts are at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is 2.56, so the expected counts are not all at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is…

Vitamin E and the Risk of Prostate Cancer: Klien et al (2011) conducted the following study to determine the effect of vitamin E and selenium treatment on the risk of developing prostate cancer in healthy men. A total of 34,887 men from different study sites in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico were randomly selected. To be eligible to participate, the men had to take a rectal examination that showed he was not suspicious of having prostate cancer and be aged 50 years or older for black men and 55 years or older for all others. Each man was randomly assigned to receive one of four treatments: selenium, vitamin E, selenium and vitamin E together, or a placebo. The men were followed up after 8 years to see if they had developed prostate cancer or not. The main question of interest is to determine if the risk of developing prostate cancer differs by the treatment taken. The data are summarized in the table below: No Prostate Cancer Prostate Cancer Total Selenium 8,752 8,737 8,702…

A study was conducted to determine whether big-city and small-town dwellers differed in their helpfulness to strangers. In this study, the investigators rang the doorbells of strangers living in a large City or small towns in the vicinity. They explained they had misplaced the address of a friend living in the neighbourhood and asked to use the phone. The following data show the number of individuals who admitted or did not admit the strangers (the investigators) into their homes: Helpfulness to strangers Admitted strangers into their home Didnot admit strangers into their home Big city dwellers 60 90 Small town dwellers 70 30 State the dependent and independent variable Is this a directional or non directional
The Knight Foundation investigates whether high school students agreed with the statement that people should be allowed to burn or deface the American flag as a political statement. This question was asked in a survey of a representative sample of high school students in 2004 and also in a survey of a representative sample of high school students in 2014. Suppose that the sample size was 1000 in each of the two years. Data consistent with summary values given in the paper are summarized in the accompanying table. Is there convincing evidence that the proportions falling into each of the response categories were not the same for high school students in 2004 and 2014?
California insurance companies wanted to study factors (e.g., the proximity to a major earthquake fault line) that may influence homeowners’ decisions to purchase earthquake insurance. Surveys were mailed to randomly selected households in three California counties to investigate the possible proximity effect. The data collected are shown below: Los Angeles San Bernardino Santa Clara sample size 1,000 1,400 1,200 Number with 377 469 390 earthquake insurance Los Angeles County is located closest among the three to a major earthquake fault line. Are homeowners in Los Angeles County more likely to purchase earthquake insurance than those in San Bernardino County? Test using α = 0.05. (Optional) Are homeowners in Los Angeles County more likely to purchase earthquake insurance than those in Santa Clara County? Use α = 0.05.
