A new screening test for Lyme disease is developed for use in the general population. The sensitivity and specificity of the new test are 60% and 70%, respectively. Five hundred people are screened at a clinic during the first year the new test is implemented. Assume the true prevalence of Lyme disease among clinic attendees is 10%. Calculate the predictive value of a positive test.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet favorably affect several risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The principal dietary polyunsaturated fat is linoleic acid. Suppose we randomly selected twelve adults for our study. We took their blood pressure measurements (systolic blood pressure) at the start and recorded them for each adult. Then we placed required these adults to consume 23g/day of safflower oil which is high in linoleic acid for four weeks. At the end of the four weeks, we took another systolic blood pressure(SBP) measurement. The paired data is provided below: Subject 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Baseline SBP 119.67 100.00 123.56 109.89 96.22 133.33 115.78 126.39 122.78 117.44 111.33 92.39 1-month SBP 117.33 98.78 123.83 107.67 95.67 128.89 113.22 121.56 126.33 110.39 107.00 93.06 Use the appropriate nonparametric test at alpha level of 0.05, to test whether the diet heavy in linoleic acid increases systolic blood pressure (SBP).

A 2019 study surveyed Norwegian parents about their children's eating habits and taste sensitivities. We are interested in seeing if there is a relationship between sensitivity to sweetness and emotional overeating. The study reports an F* = 2.34 with dfb 3 and dfw = 96. How many levels of 'sensitivity to sweetness' were used in the study? How many subjects participated in the entire study?
A researcher wanted to examine whether type of dog food (freeze dried meat vs generic brand kibble) would affect dogs’ attention span. The researcher hypothesized that dogs who ate freeze dried meat would have longer attention spans than those who ate generic brand kibble. The researcher used a single sample of 13 subjects, that took part in both treatment conditions. The researcher set the alpha level at .01. The mean of the difference scores (MD)was 7.0 and the SSD for the difference in attention spans was 144. What is the calculated test statistic to the nearest thousandth? Be sure to put the positive or negative sign in front of it. Note: SHOW ALL WORK!!! Based on your work above, do you reject or retain the null? reject retain Based on your conclusion regarding the null, was there a treatment effect? Yes No
The effectiveness of surgery for weight loss reported here found that "The surgery was associated with significantly greater weight loss [than the control group who dieted] through 2 years (61.3 versus 11.2 pounds, P<0.001)." What test could have been used and how would it have been computed?
According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.34. Suppose a random sample of 109 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 50 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the x = 0.01 level of significance? Because npo (1-Po) = 24.5 > 10, the sample size is (Round to one decimal place as needed.) What are the null and alternative hypotheses? p = 0.34 versus H₁: p > 0.34 Ho: p (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Find the test statistic, Zo. Zo = 2.62 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Find the P-value. P-value = (Round to three decimal places as needed.) less than 5% of the population size, and the sample is given to be random, the requirements for testing the hypothesis are satisfied.

Data from the Department of Motor Vehicles indicate that 80% of all licensed drivers are older than age 25. In a sample of n = 50 people who recently received speeding tickets, 33 were older than age 25 and the other 17 were age 25 or younger. Is the age distribution for this sample significantly different from the distribution for the population of licensed drivers? Use alpha = .05. In a sample of n = 50 people who recently received parking tickets, 36 were older than age 25 and the other 14 were age 25 or younger. Is the age distribution for this sample significantly different from the distribution for the population of licensed drivers? Use alpha = .05.
Productivity is the key driver of wages and one of the most importantdeterminants of living standards. The British Chambers of Commercecommissioned research into understanding whether labour productivity in theautomotive manufacturing sector in England and Ireland were the same ordifferent. The researchers collected data on a random sample of 8 firms inEngland and 4 in Ireland and recorded productivity in units of value added (£)per hour. It is assumed that firm-level productivity has a normal distribution.The following data were collected:Ireland 47 56 43 68England 39 50 39 45 50 43 35 43(i) Set up appropriate null and alternative hypotheses and conduct a test ofthe hypotheses of equal mean productivity in Ireland and England at 5 percent significance level under the assumption of unknown but equalpopulation variances.

Denny studied factors affecting cardiovascular reactivity to a postural change in a sample of healthy men and women. Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults. Supine measurement of blood pressure was taken after participants had lain on an examination table for 15 minutes. Blood pressure was determined every 30 seconds using a Dinamap device for 2 minutes, and the measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up immediately, and additional measurements were made for another 2 minutes. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Denny’s sample: Which measures of dispersion, if any, are presented in this table (Ranges, SDs)? If age is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would be younger than 50? If BMI is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would have a BMI higher than 33.1?
The authors of the paper "Statistical Methods for Assessing Agreement Between Two Methods of Clinical Measurement"† compared two different instruments for measuring a person's ability to breathe out air. (This measurement is helpful in diagnosing various lung disorders.) The two instruments considered were a Wright peak flow meter and a mini-Wright peak flow meter. Seventeen people participated in the study, and for each person air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter.

A randomized controlled trial was conducted to determine whether treatment with daily aspirin was more effective than placebo at preventing myocardial infarction (MI) (within 5 years). A total of 140 out of 11,140 subjects in the aspirin group experienced an MI, while 240 out of 11,040 subjects in the placebo group experienced an MI. The relative risk of MI comparing aspirin to placebo was calculated to be 0.58, and its 95% confidence interval ranged from 0.47 to 0.71. Which of the following can be concluded from these results? Question 4 options: On average, the risk of MI among subjects who used aspirin was 0.58 times the risk of MI among those on placebo. On average, aspirin reduced the risk of MI in this population by 58% when compared to placebo. Aspirin is almost certainly harmful to this population. Compared to placebo, aspirin did not reduce the risk of MI by a statistically significant amount.
