### Clinical Trial Results on the Efficacy of a New Vaccine Against SARS CoV-2#### Study OverviewA randomized clinical trial was conducted to evaluate a new vaccine designed to protect against SARS CoV-2 infection. The study enrolled 100,000 adults who tested negative for the infection at baseline. The data presented below are based on the results after a follow-up period of six months.#### Results Table| Status | SARS CoV-2 Positive | SARS CoV-2 Negative | Total Subjects ||-----------------------|---------------------|---------------------|----------------|| **Received Vaccine** | 10 | 49,990 | 50,000 || **Did not receive vaccine** | 200 | 49,810 | 50,000 |- **Received Vaccine**: - SARS CoV-2 Positive: 10 - SARS CoV-2 Negative: 49,990 - Total Subjects: 50,000- **Did Not Receive Vaccine**: - SARS CoV-2 Positive: 200 - SARS CoV-2 Negative: 49,810 - Total Subjects: 50,000#### Question12. What is the main measure of interest in the study?- A. Relative Risk.- B. Odds Ratio.- C. The fraction of disease attributable to SARS CoV-2 for exposed persons.- D. The fraction of disease attributable to SARS CoV-2 for non-exposed persons.This table is crucial for understanding the comparative effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing SARS CoV-2 infection among the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated groups.

Concerned about the initial monitoring data, the environmental action group decides to continue to monitor the plant, and try to gather more evidence for their case. A random sample of twenty-six hours is selected over a period of a week.

This could mean that the plant is discharging more wastewater than they promised, or the plant could be in compliance, and the large numbers were due to sampling variability. To see if this is the case, we will test the hypothesis that u…
In a population-based cohort study, an entire community was interviewed regarding smoking habits and then followed for one year. Upon ascertainment of all lung cancer deaths, the investigator obtained the following data: Number of Individuals Lung Cancer Deaths Smokers 24,500 15 Nonsmokers 10,500 2 Calculate the risk difference per 100,000 per year.

Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.
News reports speak of an emerging crisis of childhood obesity in the United States. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a government survey run every several years recording a number of vital statistics on a random sample of Americans. A body mass index (BMI) is computed for each individual in the sample based on the individual's height and weight. Here are sample results for 8-year-old boys over the past 40 years. The table gives the sample size for 3 different surveys, the sample mean and sample standard deviation. Suppose we want to run an ANOVA to see if there is a difference in mean BMI for the three surveys. Assume each survey is a random sample and there are no extreme outliers.What is the sample standard deviations for each survey? ...the NHES II study? ...the NHANES II study? ...the NHANES study?
An investigation is performed to evaluate two new experimental treatments for allergies. 18 subjects who suffer from allergies are enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to one of three treatments: Control Group, Experimental Treatment 1, or Experimental Treatment 2. Each subject is instructed to take the assigned treatment, and symptoms of allergies are recorded on a scale of 1 to 20, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms. The data is summarized in the table below: SBP Std. Deviation Group Mean Control Treatment 6. 16.17 2.483 Experimental Treatment 1 6. 11.33 1.966 Experimental Treatment 6. 3.83 1.472 Total 18 10.44 5.554 Use this data to complete an ANOVA table to test for a significant difference in the means of each of the groups. Round all answers to the third decimal point.
Serum estradiol is an important risk factor for breast cancer in postmenopausal women. To better understand the etiology of breast cancer, serum-estradiol samples were collected from 25 premenopausal women (at about the same time period of the menstrual cycle) of whom 10 were Caucasian and 15 were African American. The data are shown in Table 7.3. The distribution of serum estradiol is usually highly skewed (especially for premenopausal women), and we are reluctant to assume normality.

According to a 2006 survey conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), birth rates peak slightly between July and October each year. While a slight numerical increase in birth rates is often observed, this difference is assumed to be statistically non-significant. Thus, we would expect to see an equal number of people born during each month of the year in the United States. The "Birth Data.jasp" contains the birth months for 1380 babies (N = 1380) born during the year 2006 in the United States collected by the CDC. Conduct a Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test at α = 0.05, to see if the number of babies born each month “fits” with the CDC’s assumptions about the population. Identify the correct null hypothesis. A. H0: The number of babies born throughout the year is equal across all 12 months B. H0: The number of babies born during the summer months is greater than the number of babies born during the rest of the year C. HA: The number of babies born in…

A team of epidemiologists at the Mayo Clinic wanted to find whether there is an association between obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). They conducted a prospective cohort study following obese and non-obese individuals who were free of CVD at the beginning of study for five years. The investigators were also interested in assessing age as a potential confounder, effect modifier, or both. Use the data below to answer the accompanying questions. CVD No CVD Total Obese 10 90 100 Not Obese 35 465 500 Total 45 555 600 CVD No CVD Total Obese 36 164 200 Not Obese 25 175 200 Total 61 339 400 1. Compute the appropriate measure of association for those who were less than age 50. 2. Compute the appropriate measure of association for those who were older or equal to age 50. 3. Compute the crude measure of association? 4. List three attributes that age must satisfy before it could…
Use the following scenario for questions 1-4: Dr. Wiese wants to determine whether duration of pregnancy and type of opiate use among pregnant women predict developmental delays in their children. In a sample of 30 new mothers, Dr. Wiese measured the duration of their pregnancies (premature, mature, postmature) and the type of opiate that they used during pregnancy (oxycodone, heroin). All participants' babies were then rated on how closely they have met developmental milestones on a scale ranging from 1-10. 1. Identify one of the independent variables. How many levels does this variable have? 2. Identify the other independent variable. How many levels does this variable have? 3. This study is a .............x ...................factorial design.
