Suppose John has a torn tendon and is facing surgery to repair it. The surgeon explains the risks to John: infection occurs in 2% of operations, the repair fails in 12%of operations, and both infection and failure occur together in 1.28% of operations. What percentage, ?,of these operations succeed and are free from infection? Please round your answer to the nearest two decimal places. ?=
Cardiovascular Disease Suppose the incidence rate of myocardial infarction (MI) was 5 per 1000 among 45- to 54-year-old men in 2000. To look at changes in incidence over time, 5000 men in this age group were followed for 1 year starting in 2010. Fifteen new cases of MI were found. Suppose that 25% of patients with Mi in 2000 died within 24 hours. This propartion is called the 24-hour case-fatality rate. Of the 15 new MI cases in the preceding study. 5 died within 24 hours. Test whether the 24-hour case- fatality rate changed from 2000 to 2010.

We travelled back in time and discover the true reason that dinosaurs went extinct-they started smoking (my apologies to Gary Larson (of Far Side fame)). Anyway, we found that of 3797 dinosaurs, 2341 smoked. Among the dinosaurs that smoked, 1845 died of lung cancer. Of the non-smoking dinosaurs, 97 died of lung cancer. We want to find if smoking will increase the rate of death. How would you proceed?

A viral infection is spread by contact with an infected person. Suppose that an infected person has contact with 15 healthy people, let X denote the number of people (out of these 15) who are infected. By “infected" we mean that the person develops symptoms of the infection. Based on previous research, the infection rate is 25%. After how many positive cases can we conclude the infection rate is acutally higher than 25%? (What is the lowest number of positive cases?)
“Radon: The Problem No One Wants to Face” is the title of an article appearing in Consumer Reports. Radon is a gas emitted from the ground that can collect in houses and buildings. At certain levels, it can cause lung cancer. Radon concentrations are measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L). A radon level of 4 pCi/L is considered “acceptable.” Radon levels in a house vary from week to week. In one house, a sample of 8 weeks had the following readings for radon level (in pCi/L): 1.9 2.8 5.7 4.2 1.9 8.6 3.9 7.2 Find the mean, median, and mode. Find the sample standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and range. Interpretation: Based on the data, would you recommend radon mitigation in this house? Explain.
