In a nationwide study directed by Detroit’s Henry Ford Hospital, 780 persons with stableheart disease were treated. Half of the subjects were treated with drugs and half underwentbypass surgery. After 6 years, 351 of those treated with drugs and 359 of those who underwentbypass surgery were still alive. Use a level 0.01 test to determine if there is sufficient evidenceto indicate that surgery is a more effective treatment.

Urban legend says that knuckle cracking is bad for you and will eventually lead to osteoarthritis of the hand joints. A retrospective case-control study of individuals who had received an X-ray of the right hand in the past 5 years enrolled 180 subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of hand osteoarthritis and 95 control subjects in the same age group. The study found that 36 subjects with hand osteoarthritis and 25 control subjects were habitual knuckle crackers. Is there good evidence that the proportion of knuckle crackers is greater among individuals with hand osteoarthritis? Does this support the urban legend about knuckle cracking?
At one hospital in 1992, 674 women were diagnosed with breast cancer. Five years later, 88% of the Caucasian women and 83% of the African American women were still alive. Identify the study as an observational study or a designed experiment.
Most alpine skiers and snowboarders do not use helmets. Do helmetsreduce the risk of head injuries? A study in Norway compared skiers and snowboarders who suffered head injuries with a control group who were not injured. Of 578 injured subjects, 96 had worn a helmet. Of the 2992 in the control group, 656 wore helmets. Is helmet use less common among skiers and snowboarders who have head injuries?
In a recent study; it was found that 62 percent of college students drink heavily and drive. Assuming all conditions are met, a police chief wanting to enact an emergency protocol for DWI/DUI wants to know if the claim is accurate. He took a sample of 70 college students who drank and drove and found that 46 of those students had a high blood alcohol level. Can we claim that more than 62 percent of all college students drink heavily and drive?
A new drug to treat psoriasis has been developed and is in clinical testing. Assume that those individuals given the drug are examined before receiving the treatment and then again after receiving the treatment to determine if there was a change in their symptom status. If the initial results showed that 3.0% of individuals entered the study in remission, 74.0% of individuals entered the study with mild symptoms, 13.0% of individuals entered the study with moderate symptoms, and 4.0% entered the study with severe symptoms calculate and interpret a chi-squared test to determine if the drug was effective treating psoriasis given the information below from the final examination. Remission (No Symptoms of Psoriasis) Mild Symptoms of Psoriasis Moderate Symptoms of Psoriasis Severe Symptoms of Psoriasis Total Number of Participants to Receive the Drug Number of Participants 455 635 85 7 1182
Are young people more in tune with environmental issues than older people? The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press conducted a survey in 2009 asking a random sample of adults whether or not there is solid evidence of global warming. Of the 197 people aged 18–29 years old who responded, 126 said yes, compared to 223 out of 406 people aged 30–39 years old. Does this indicate that a higher proportion of younger people believe there is evidence of global warming? In other words, test for the this trend.

A new drug to treat psoriasis has been developed and is in clinical testing. Assume that those individuals given the drug are examined before receiving the treatment and then again after receiving the treatment to determine if there was a change in their symptom status. If the initial results showed that 2.0% of individuals entered the study in remission, 77.0% of individuals entered the study with mild symptoms, 16.0% of individuals entered the study with moderate symptoms, and 5.0% entered the study with severe symptoms calculate and interpret a chi-squared test to determine if the drug was effective treating psoriasis given the information below from the final examination.

In an article about unusual allergies, a doctor explained that allergy to sulfites is usually seen in patients with asthma. The typical reaction is a sudden increase in asthma symptoms after eating a food containing sulfites. Studies are performed to estimate the percentage of the nation's 10 million asthmatics who are allergic to sulfites. In one survey, 22 of 400 randomly selected asthmatics in the country were found to be allergic to sulfites. Find and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the proportion, p, of all asthmatics in the country who are allergic to sulfites.

In 2014, the Pew Research Centers American Trends Panel sought to better understand what Americans know about science. It was observed that among a random selection of 3278 adults, 2065 adults could correctly interpret a scatterplot. Is this good evidence that more than 60% of Americans are able to correctly interpret scatterplots?
