12. Test specificityImagine you have designed a test for detecting whether a dog has a common parasitic infection. 10% of the dogs who take your test are actually infected. The test has a false positive rate of 10% and a false negative rate of 5%. (The false positive rateis the proportion of healthy dogs wrongly identified as being infected; the false negative rate is the proportion of infected dogs wrongly identified as being healthy.)What can we say about those dogs which test positive for the parasite?Pick ONE optionThey are very likely to truly be infected.They are slightly more likely to be infected than healthy.They are slightly more likely to be healthy than infected.They are very likely to be healthy.We cannot be sure from the information given.

Part A. Depression affects many people. 25 out of 100 people with untreated depression will lose at least one friendship while not receiving treatment. On the other hand, when people with depression are treated with medication and counseling, only 2 out of 100 will lose at least one friendship during treatment. The absolute risk of losing at least one friendship while being treated with medication and counseling is Answer: 2 / 100 = 0.02 = 2%
In a study assessing helping behavior among college students on their way to class, you recruit 10 students. You tell some participants that they are late for class and need to rush. You tell others they are right on time. Finally, you tell others they have lots of time before class. As they walk across campus, they come across a man (actually a confederate) who appears to need help. You measure the extent to which the participant noticed that the confederate needed help (1 = did not notice to 9 = really noticed). Which hypothesis test would you calculate? F test Independent sample t-test z test Dependent sample t-test

Pregnant women are screened for a birth defect called Down syndrome. Down syndrome babies are mentally and physically challenged. Some mothers choose to abort the fetus when they are certain that their baby will be born with the syndrome. The most common screening is maternal serum screening, a blood test that looks for markers in the blood to indicate whether the birth defect may occur. The false-positive and false-negative rates vary according to the age of the mother. Mother’s Age False-Positive Rate False-Negative RateUnder 30 0.040 0.37630-34 0.082 0.29035-37 0.178 0.269Over 38 0.343 0.029 The probability that a baby has Down syndrome is primarily a function of the mother’s age.

A psychologist would like to examine the effects of a new drug on the activity level of animals. Three samples of rats are selected with n=5 in each sample. One group gets no drug, one group gets s small dose, and the third group gets a large dose. The psychologist records the activity level for each animal. The data from this experiment are presented below. No drug Small dose Large dose 5, 3 , 1 , 1 , 5 5, 5, 9, 6, 5 10, 12, 9, 6, 8 =3, SS=16 =6, SS=12 =9, SS=20 Do these data indicate any significant differences among the three groups? Test with α=0.05. Compute the effect size and interpret the result.
O Macmillan Learning Many young men in North America and Europe (but not in Asia) tend to think they need more muscle to be attractive. One study presented 200 young American men with 100 images of men with various levels of muscle. Researchers measure level of muscle in kilograms per square meter of body surface area (kg/m²). Typical young men have about 20 kg/m². Each subject chose two images, one that represented his own level of body muscle and one that he thought represented "what women prefer." The mean gap between self-image and "what women prefer" was 2.35 kg/m². Suppose that the "muscle gap" in the population of all young men has a Normal distribution with standard deviation 2.5 kg/m². Give a 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of muscle young men think they should add to be attractive to women. (They are wrong: women actually prefer a level close to that of typical men.) Give your answers to four decimal places. lower limit: upper limit: Chi-Fu Jeffrey Yang, Peter…
A certain virus affects 0.7% of the population. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 87% of the time if the person has the virus (true positive) and 14% of the time if the person does not have the virus (false positive). Fill out the remainder of the following table and use it to answer the two questions below based on a total sample of 100,000 people. Virus No Virus TotalPositive Test Negative Test Total 100,000a) Find the probability that a person has the virus given that they have tested positive. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. % b) Find the probability that a person does not have the virus given that they test negative. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. %

A group of 100 people, who lived at varying distances (in kilometers) from an island nuclear power station, were asked if they thought a full evacuation of the area was required, when it went critical. The researches wanted to know if the opinion to evacuate or not depended on how far from the reactor people lived. Partial results of the questionnaire are shown in the table below. 0-3 km distance 3 -6 km distance 6 -9 km distance 9- 12 km distance Totals Evacuation needed X X X 51 Evacuation not X X XX needed Totals 28 28 23 XX XX You are doing a Chi Square test for independence. What is the expected value of the number of people living within a radius of 0-3 km who would say that evacuation was needed? XX denotes row/column totals. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
A child psychologist believe that controlled physical outbursts of anger (like punching a pillow) may improve the mood of young boys with emotional impairment. He believes that the proportion of boys who benefit from the treatment is greater than the proportion of girls. A random sample from each population receives counseling in the treatment and is asked about their mood after an episode (x is the number of test subjects that reported an improvement in mood). The results of the study are summarized in the table below. Boys n1 = 200 Girls n2 = 210 %3D %3D X1 = 35 X2 = 28 Blank #1: Find the two sample proportions, reporting each as a decimal, rounded to two decimal places. Do the initial (untested) findings show what the researcher expected? Enter your answer as a list of 3 items: P1, P2, yes or no. Do not add any extra spaces and pay attention to rounding. For example, a valid answer may look like .52,.14,yes or .25,.50,no. Untested, you compared them but you could have done that…
