What is the distinguishing feature of a case-control study such as this? An epidemiologist performed a case-control study examining whether tobacco use was associated with oral cancer. The investigator recruited a random sample of 75 adults with oral cancer and 72 adults without oral cancer. Participants were interviewed and asked about their history of tobacco use. O Exposure status was assessed, and then the participants were followed up over time to see who developed the outcome. O The exposure and outcome were measured at the same time, so temporality cannot be established. O Participants were selected based on disease status, and then exposure status was assessed from the past. O The investigator randomized participants into exposure groups and then followed them to see who developed the outcome.
If you were to draw 15 random samples of 100 residents in a city you may get 15 different mean values simply by chance. These expected differences across samples may be defined as: a. a statistical effect b. sampling error c. random error d. probability
The Food Marketing Institute shows that 17% of households spend more than $100 per week on groceries. Assume the population proportion is p = .17 and a simple random sample of 800 households will be selected from the population. What is the random variable in this narrative?
Recall that small effects may be statistically significant if the samples are large. A study of small-business failures looked at 153 food-and-drink businesses. Of these, 107 were headed by men and 46 were headed by women. During a three-year period, 17 of the men's businesses and 7 of the women's businesses failed. (a) Find the proportions of failures for businesses headed by men (sample 1) and businesses headed by women (sample 2). These sample proportions are quite close to each other. p̂men = p̂women = Give the P-value for the z test of the hypothesis that the same proportion of women's and men's businesses fail. (Use the two-sided alternative.) The test is very far from being significant. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) z = P-value = (b) Now suppose that the same sample proportions came from a sample of 30 times as large. That is, 210 out of 1380 business headed by women and 510 out of 3210 businesses…
A tire manufacturer has been producing tires with an average life expectancy of 28,000 miles. Now the company is advertising that its new tires' life expectancy has increased. In order to test the legitimacy of the advertising campaign, an independent testing agency tested a sample of 12 of their tires and has provided the following data. Longevity (In Thousands of Miles) 28.0 26.5 27.2 26.0 28.3 26.4 29.1 25.0 28.1 27.7 28.3 26.9 a. Determine the mean and the standard deviation. Formulate the correct hypotheses to determine whether b. or not the tire company is using legitimate advertising. At the .05 level of significance using the critical value approach, test to determine whether or not the tire company is using legitimate advertising. Assume the population is normally distributed. d. Repeat the test using the p-value approach. C.
A manufacturer claims that 10% of women using the "pill" suffer from side effects. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) believes that the manufacturer's claim is too low and decides to test the manufacturer's claim at a 5 %. A random sample of 900 women who use the manufacturer's pill shows that 103 suffer side effects. The p-value of this test is: O a. 0.1144 Ob. 0.0644 O C. 0.1000 Od. 0.0743 e. 0.0144

(OPHTHALMOLOGY) The following data are from a study on Botox injections. Patients received a high-dose injection in one eye (experimental treatment = treatment E) and a low-dose injection in the other eye (control treatment = treatment C). Patients were asked to rate the level of pain in each eye on a 1–10 scale, with higher scores indicating more pain. The assignment of treatments to eyes was randomized. The subjects came back over several visits. Data from the last visit are given in the following table: 1. Which of the following is the correct test to conduct given the situation above? 2. The hypotheses are: 3. What is the level of significance? 4. What is the computed test statistic? Hint: Use (mean of "Pain in E eye") minus (mean of "Pain in C eye") 5. What is the correct decision based on the p-value or critical value method?
