A closed cohort study was conducted to investigate whether or not diabetes increases the risk of heart disease. During the enrollment period over 3,000 individuals were interested in participating and were screened for eligibility. Of those, 2,556 were eligible and enrolled. 216 of the participants had diabetes and 2,340 did not have diabetes at time of enrollment. During the 20 year follow up period, among those who had diabetes, 26 developed coronary heart disease. Among those who did not have diabetes, 91 developed coronary heart disease. Question 1) Calculate and interpret the appropriate measure of disease occurrence and measure of association for this cohort study. Question 2) Calculate the Risk Difference to get an idea of how much risk of disease would be preventable if you "eliminate" diabetes. How do you interpret and communicate your findings? Based on establish knowledge about the etiology of disease, the investigators want to consider hypertension as a…
An article titled “Hypertension Drug Linked to Cancer”, studies several types of high-blood-pressure drugs and links to cancer. For one type, called calcium-channel blockers, 27 out of 202 elderly patients taking the drug developed cancer. For another type, called beta-blockers, 28 out of 424 other elderly patients developed cancer. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the probability of getting cancer higher of taking calcium-channel blockers than of taking beta-blockers.
Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?
In the past 10 years, the prevalence of peanut allergies has doubled in Western countries. Is consumption or avoidance of peanuts in infants related to the development of peanut allergies in infants at risk? Subjects included infants between four and 11 months with severe eczema, egg allergy, or both but who did not display a preexisting sensitivity to peanuts based on a skin-prick test. The infants were randomly assigned to either a treatment that avoided consuming peanut protein or a treatment in which at least 6 grams of peanut protein were consumed per week. The response was the presence or absence of peanut allergy at 60 months of age. In the avoidance group containing 263 infants, 36 had developed a peanut allergy at 60 months of age, while in the consumption group containing 266 infants, five had developed a peanut allergy.

In 2015, a survey found that 38% of Americans were supportive of online education for elementary and secondary education. With the increase in contagious viruses, it is of interest if this proportion has changed. In a 2019 poll, 51% of 1028 Americans were supportive of online education for elementary and secondary education. At the 10% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of all American adults who support online education for elementary and secondary education has changed from what was believed in 2015? Choose the choice that gives the null and alternative hypothesis.
Assortative mating is a nonrandom mating pattern where individuals with similar genotypes and/or phenotypes mate with one another more frequently than what would be expected under a random mating pattern. Researchers studied this topic and collected data on Scandinavian men and their female partners. They found out 60% of Scandinavian men have blue eyes. Among those men with blue eyes, 80% of them choose female partners with blue eyes. Among those Scandinavian men whose eye color is not blue, 20% of them have partners with blue eyes. Given that a man’s partner has blue eyes, what’s that probability this man has blue eyes? If 60% of Scandinavian men have blue eyes and you randomly select 8 men, what’s the probability that none of them has blue eyes?
A survey of 200 people was taken to determine whether distance from voting center was related to the likelihood of voting. Based on these results, does it appear that these two variables are related at the 10% level of significance?
In a study of red/green color blindness, 800 men and 2050 women are randomly selected and tested. Among the men, 68 have red/green color blindness. Among the women, 5 have red/green color blindness. We wish to test the claim that men have a higher rate of red/green color blindness. The test statistic is?The p-value is?
The personality characteristics of business leaders (e.g., CEOS) are related to the operations of the businesses that they lead (Oreg & Berson, 2018). Traits like openness to experience are related to positive financial outcomes and other traits are related to negative financial outcomes for their businesses. Suppose that a board of directors is interested in evaluating the personality of their leadership. Among a sample of n = 16 managers, the sample mean of the openness to experiences dimension of personality was M = 4.50. Assuming that u = 4.24 and o = 1.05 (Cobb-Clark & Schurer, 2012), use a two-tailed hypothesis test with a = .05 to test the hypothesis that this company's business leaders' openness to experience is different from the population. Standard Normal Distribution Mean - 0.0 Standard Deviation 1.0 .7198 .1401 .1401 -3.0 -2.0 -1.0 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 -1.08 1.08 Step 1. Ho: ; H;: a = .05. Step 2. The critical region consists of Step 3. For these data the standard error is and…
A campus administrator has found that 60% of all students view courses as very useful, 20%, as somewhat useful, and 20%, as worthless. Of a random sample of 100 students taking business courses, 68 found the course in question very useful, 18, somewhat useful, and 14, worthless. Test the null hypothesis that the population distribution for business courses is the same as that for all courses.
Aarskog syndrome is a rare genetic condition affecting approximately 1/25,000 people. Researchers have found FGD1 gene mutations in approximately 22% of individuals with Aarskog syndrome. A study looking to establish causality reported an odds ratio for Aarskog syndrome of 2.24 (95% CI 1.2 to 3.45), comparing people with FGD1 mutations to those without. a) Provide a correct interpretation of this odds ratio b) Provide a plausible value for the risk ratio for Aarskog syndrome, comparing people with FGD1 mutations to those without. Why did you choose this value?
A null and alternative hypothesis are given. Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed. Ho: Ha: р = 0.8 p0.8 What type of test is being conducted in this problem? A. Left-tailed test B. Two-tailed test C. Right-tailed test
