Researchers at a local public health office are interested in the difference in prevalence of sickle cell anemia by ethnicity in a population under its jurisdiction. Suppose the following table represents prevalence of sickle cell anemia reported based on a thorough survey. Ethnicity Prevalence of Sickle Cell African-American =242/1049 Other =165/1864 Calculate the risk difference between the groups.
16. Gravetter/Wallnau/Forzano, Essentials - Chapter 14 - End-of-chapter question 16 Judge and Cable (2010) report the results of a study demonstrating a negative relationship between weight and income for a group of men. Following are data similar to those obtained in the study. To simplify the weight variable, the men are classified into five categories that measure actual weight relative to height, from 1 = thinnest to 5 = heaviest. Income figures are annual income (in thousands), rounded to the nearest $1,000. Weight Income 4 151 5 88 3 52 2 73 1 49 3 92 1 56 5 143 These data show a positive relationship between weight and income for a sample of men. However, weight was coded in five categories, which could be viewed as an ordinal scale rather than an interval or ratio scale. If so, a Spearman correlation is more appropriate than a Pearson correlation. Convert the weights and the incomes into ranks and complete the table that follows.…

This problem is based on information taken from The Merck Manual (a reference manual used in most medical and nursing schools). Hypertension is defined as a blood pressure reading over 140 mm Hg systolic and/or over 90 mm Hg diastolic. Hypertension, if not corrected, can cause long-term health problems. In the college-age population (18-24 years), about 9.2% have hypertension. Suppose that a blood donor program is taking place in a college dormitory this week (final exams week). Before each student gives blood, the nurse takes a blood pressure reading. Of 190 donors, it is found that 26 have hypertension. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of students with hypertension during final exams week is higher than 9.2%? Use a 5% level of significance. Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) ANSWER IS NOT 2.711
PLEASE ANSWER ASAP: A case-control study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between physical activity and coronary heart disease (CHD) in men. A total of 406 men newly diagnosed with CHD were included together with 406 men of similar ages who did not have CHD. The risk of CHD (measured by the OR) was higher among men who were inactive or only moderately active (collectively called ‘inactive’) than among those who were physically active: (See attached image) Odds ratio for inactive men compared to active men= (299 x 136)/(270 x 107)=1.41Suppose there is no misclassification in these data.What would the observed OR have been... 1. If 20% of all the inactive men had been misclassified as active? 2. If 10 % of inactive cases had been misclassified as active?
Shelia's doctor is concerned that she may suffer from gestational diabetes (high blood glucose levels during pregnancy). There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. In a test to screen for gestational diabetes, a patient is classified as needing further testing for gestational diabetes if the glucose level is above 120 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) one hour after a sugary drink. Shelia's measured glucose level one hour after the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with μ = 105 mg/dL and σ = 15 mg/dL. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) If a single glucose measurement is made, what is the probability that Shelia is diagnosed as having gestational diabetes?(b) If measurements are made on three separate days and the mean result is compared with the criterion 120 mg/dL, what is the probability that Shelia is diagnosed as needing further testing for gestational diabetes?
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?___________

Shelia’s doctor is concerned that she may suffer from gestational diabetes (high blood glucose levels during pregnancy). There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if her glucose level is above 136 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) one hour after ingesting a sugary drink. Shelia’s measured glucose level one hour after the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with μ = 125 mg/dl and σ = 11 mg/dl. a)What are the mean and standard deviation of the distribution of sample proportion if measurements are made instead on 40 separate days? b)If measurements are made on 40 separate days and the mean result is compared with the criterion 140 mg/dl, what is the probability that Shelia is diagnosed as having gestational diabetes? c)Let’s consider what could happen if we took 40 separate measurements from Shelia. What is the blood glucose level L such that the probability…
6. Accidents on highways are one of the main causes of death or injury in developing countries and the weather conditions have an impact on the rates of death and injury. In foggy, rainy, and sunny conditions, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/21 of the accidents result in death, respectively. Sunny conditions occur 60% of the time, while rainy and foggy conditions each occur 20% of the time. Given that an accident without deaths occurred, what is the conditional probability that it was foggy at the time?
