Daniel Bernoulli's work in 1760 had the goal of appraising the effectiveness of a controversial inoculation program against smallpox, which at that time was a major threat to public health. His model applies equally well to any other disease that, once contracted and survived, confers a lifetime immunity. Consider the cohort of individuals born in a given year (t = 0), and let n(t) be the number of these individuals surviving t years later. Let r(t) be the number of members of this cohort who have not had smallpox by year t and who are therefore still susceptible. Let 8 be the rate at which susceptibles contract smallpox, and let v be the rate at which people who contract smallpox die from the disease. Finally, let 4(t) be the death rate from all causes other than smallpox. Then dx/dt, the rate at which the number of susceptibles declines, is given by dr/dt = -[B + u(t)]r. (1) The first term on the right of Eq. (1) is the rate at which susceptibles contract smallpox, and the second term is the rate at which the die from all other causes. Also, dn/dt = -vßx- H(t)n, (2) where dn/dt is the death rate of the entire cohort, and the two terms on the right side are the

Pierce (1948) mechanically measured the frequency (the number of wing vibrations per second) of chirps (or pulses of sound) made by a striped ground cricket, at various ground temperatures. Since crickets are ectotherms (cold-blooded), the rate of their philosophical processes and their overall metabolism are influenced by temperature. Consequently, there is a reason to believe that temperature would have a profound affect on aspects of their behavior, such as chirp frequency. In general, it was found that crickets did not sing at temperatures colder than 60°F or warmer than 100°F. In the following data let X= chirps/sec for the striped ground cricket and Y= temperature in degrees of Fahrenheit.

The CDC (Center for Disease Control) did a study to see if there is an association between lung cancer and exposure to asbestos (this data set has been made up. However, my understanding is that the association has already been proven). The doctors at the CDC took a SRS of 20 people with lung cancer and a SRS of 30 people without lung cancer. Suppose the incidence of lung cancer is 1 out of every 1000 people (I made this number up).Let C = a randomly selected person has lung cancerLet E = a randomly selected person has been exposed to asbestosUse 3 decimal places for the following questions.P(C | E) =
A special education teacher did research on whether or not there is a relationship between the number of students in his class and the number incidents of “acting out” behaviors exhibited by the autistic students in the classroom. He collects data for a year and aggregates them by month. He obtained the statistics below, r= -.863 R2=.74 b= -1.212294 a= 131.176598 10.) How does the presence of more students affect the incidents in the class? a) as students are added the incidences increase b) as students are added the incidences decrease c) the number of students does not affect acting out d) the number of students caused more incidents How much of the variability of acting out is explained by the number of students in the class?___________
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.

In North America, between 100 million and 1 billion birds die each year by crashing into windows on buildings, more than any other human-related cause. This figure represents up to 5% of all birds in the area. One possible solution is to construct windows angled downward slightly, so that they reflect the ground rather than an image of the sky to a flying bird. An experiment by Klem et al. (2004) compared the number of birds that died as a result of vertical windows, windows angled 20 degrees off vertical, and windows angled 40 degrees off vertical. The angles were randomly assigned with equal probability to six windows and changed daily; assume for this exercise that windows and window locations were identical in every respect except angle. Over the course of the experiment, 30 birds were killed by windows in the vertical orientation, 15 were killed by windows set at 20 degrees off vertical, and 8 were killed by windows set at 40 degrees off vertical. . Clearly state an appropriate…
ch 11. 4 Oxnard Petro, Ltd., has three interdisciplinary project development teams that function on an ongoing basis. Team members rotate from time to time. Every 4 months (three times a year) each department head rates the performance of each project team (using a 0 to 100 scale, where 100 is the best rating). Are the main effects significant? Is there an interaction?
A car company conducts crash tests of its new airbag system to evaluate its safety. One hundred cars are run into a solid concrete barrier at a speed of 35 miles per hour, and the chest compression of a crash test dummy is measured each time. They hope that the average compression if the test were repeated over and over (which we could think of as the population) would be about 2 inches, corresponding to an injury that would be painful but not fatal. In the hundred tests, the average chest compression in the crash test dummies was 2.1 inches, with an SD of 0.2 inches.(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses in terms of the problem.(b) What kind of box model will we use for this problem? A 0-1 box, or a box with other values on the tickets?(c) State the null and alternative hypotheses in terms of the box model (d) Compute the z test statistic and the p-value, using the sample average as your statistic as you compute z (e) What do you conclude?
a researcher collects a group of college students to determine the negative life events that they experienced in the past 5 years. For n=18 participants with 2 or fewer negative experiences, the average well being score is M=42 with SS=398, and for n=16 participants with 5 to 10 negative experiences the average well being score is M=48.6 with SS=370. A. Compute cohens d to measure the size of the effect.
In his doctoral thesis, L. A. Beckel (University of Minnesota, 1982) studied the social behavior of river otters during the mating season. An important role in the bonding process of river otters is very short periods of social grooming. After extensive observations, Dr. Beckel found that one group of river otters under study had a frequency of initiating grooming of approximately 1.7 for each 10 minutes. Suppose that you are observing river otters for 30 minutes. Let r = 0, 1, 2, ... be a random variable that represents the number of times (in a 30-minute interval) one otter initiates social grooming of another. a) Find the probabilities that in your 30 minutes of observation, one otter will initiate social grooming four times, five times, and six times. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) P(4) = P(5) = P(6) = b) Find the probability that one otter will initiate social grooming less than four times during the 30-minute observation period.

Suppose Aaron recently purchased an electric car. The person who sold him his new car told him that he could consistently travel 200 mi before having to recharge the car's battery. Aaron began to believe that the car did not travel as far as the company claimed, and he decided to test this hypothesis formally. Aaron drove his car only to work and he recorded the number of miles that his new car traveled before he had to recharge its battery a total of 21 separate times. The table shows the summary of his results. Assume his investigation satisfies all conditions for a one-sample t-test.
