Kentville, a community of 10,000 people, resides next to a krypton mine, and there is a concern that the emission from the krypton smelter have resulted in adverse effects. Specifically, Kryptonosis seems to have killed 12 of Kentville’s inhabitants last year. A neighboring community, Lanesburg, has 25,000 inhabitants and is far enough from the smelter to not be affected by the emission. In Lanesburg, only three people last year died of Kryptonosis. Given that the number of deaths in Kentville and their causes last year were: Heart attack=7 Accidents=4 Kryptonosis=12 Other=6 What is the risk of dying of Kryptonosis in Kentville relative to non-contaminated locality? What is the risk of dying of Kryptonosis in Kentville relative to deaths due to other causes? How many times the chance of dying of Kryptonosis compared to dying of accidents ? How many times the chance of dying of Kryptonosis compared to Other causes?

(Problems 1-2) Taxes and Soda Consumption - Suppose that a sales tax on soda will be removed in a random sample of communities to measure the impact on soda consumption. We wish to determine whether average per-capita consumption of untaxed soda is greater than 50 gallons a year. 1. Write the hypotheses using words. H: H: a
A researcher thinks some social media sites are more prone to narcissistic behavior (excessive posting) than others. To examine the relationship between narcissism and social media, she recruits users of three different social media sites (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram), follows them for 24 hours and records the number of posts made by each user. The number of posts is given in the table below. Twitter Facebook Instagram 10 7 14 10 8. 10 10 10 11 9. www. 12 wwww. 11 13 12 8. 7 8. 11 8 10 12 11 11 a.

The 2019-2020 flu season was especially tough. By the end of the season, an estimated total of 49 million people in the United States had contracted the flu, of whom an estimated 79,000 died from the flu. Assume that the US population was 300,000,000 during the 2019-2020 flu season and that during the season, a total of 2.9 million Americans died from all causes (including the flu). Assume the population of the US remained the same at the midpoint of the season. Report mortality rates per 100,000. Be sure to express the measure in the correct format. a.What was the proportionate mortality rate from flu during the 2019-2020 flu season? b.What was the case fatality rate from flue during the 2019-2020 flu season?

If the studies are inconsistent, it means that at least some of the age group from the first study will not be included in the second study, or some of the age group from the second study will not be in the first study. Therefore, to determine if the two studies are inconsistent in their description of generation A we must compare the age groups from the two studies to see if either one includes people not included in the other study. In other words, we need to determine if the age ranges match up exactly when the year of the study is taken in to consideration. In the first study from 2005, generation A is defined to be people ages 17–28. Three years later, in 2008, the second study was published and defined generation A to be people ages ages 20–31. a) First we examine the low end of the age ranges. We note that someone who was 17 years old in 2005 would be ______ years old in 2008. b) Now we examine the high end of the age ranges. We note that someone who was 28 years old in 2005…

1. Susan Sound predicts that students will learn most effectively with a constant background sound, as opposed to an unpredictable sound or no sound at all She randomly divides twenty-four students into three groups of eight. All students study a passage of text for 30 minutes. Those in group 1 study with background sound at a constant volume in the background. Those in group 2 study with noise that changes volume periodically. Those in group 3 study with no sound at all. After studying, all students take a 10 point multiple choice test over the material. Their scores follow test scoresS group 7 46 86 629 5 5 3 4 4 7 2 2 2 471 2 1 5 5 1) constant sound 2) random sound 3) no sound

Assume the population of the US remained the same at the midpoint of the season. Report mortality rates per 100,000. Be sure to express the measure in the correct format. c.What was the flu-related mortality rate during the 2019-2020 flu season? d.What is the all-cause mortality rate during the 2019-2020 flu season? e.In a country with an age distribution that is much younger than in the US, the proportionate mortality rate from flu in 2019 was 5%. Based on this information alone, can we determine that the risk of dying from flu in 2019 was higher in this country compared to the US? Why or why not?
