research focused on the number of illnesses involving the organism Escherichia coli (01257:H7), which causes a breakdown of red blood cells and intestinal hemorrhage in its victims. According to the Center for Disease Control of the Department of Health, an estimated 73,000 cases of E. coli infection and 61 deaths occur in Region Y. A 2028 outbreak traced to wild pigs, who spread the bacteria into a cabbage field in that , sickened 204 people in 26 municipalities. Outbreaks have occurred at a rate of 2.5 per 100,000. Let us suppose that this rate has not changed. a. What is the probability that at most five cases of E.coli per 100,000 are reported in California this year? b. What is the probability that more than five cases of E. coli are reported in California this year? c. Approximately 95% of occurrences of E. coli involve at most how many cases?

Suppose we are interested in the risk of peripheral neuropathy among persons with diabetes. To study this relationship, we identify 100 persons with a history of diabetes. At an initial examination, three of those 100 persons were found to have peripheral neuropathy. Five years later, the group was reexamined and 12 additional persons were found to have peripheral neuropathy. Based on that information, which of the following is closest to the five- year risk of peripheral neuropathy in this group of patients? А. О.03 В. О.07 С. О.12 D. 0.15 E. 0.17

Researchers suspect that drinking tea might enhance the production of interferon gamma, a molecule that helps the immune system fight bacteria, viruses, and tumors. A recent study involved 20 healthy people who did not normally drink tea or coffee. Ten of the participants were randomly assigned to drink five cups of tea a day, while 10 were asked to drink the same amount of coffee. After two weeks, blood samples were exposed to an antigen and production of interferon gamma were measured. The results are shown in the following table: Теа: 55 17 54 49 10 46 21 14 53 Coffee: 16 12 20 52 37 15 22 30 3 Let X ~ N(ux,o3) be the interferon gamma production for participants who drink tea and observations for the ten participants who drink tea are a random sample from X.

Copepods are tiny crustaceans that are an essential link in the estuarine food web. Marine scientists designed an experiment to determine whether dietary lipid Diatoms Bacteria Macroalgae 421 304 290 (fat) content is important in the population growth of a copepod. Independent random samples of copepods were placed in containers containing lipid-rich diatoms, bacteria, or leafy macroalgae. There were 12 containers total with four replicates per diet. Five gravid (egg-bearing) females were placed in each container. After 14 days, the number of copepods in each container were as given to the right. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in mean number of copepods among the three different diets? 296 312 300 295 326 267 Click here to view page 1 of the F-distribution.

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Study (NHANES) had a random sample of 9317 participants recall their diet over the past 24 hours. The information in this sample was used in a recent study that found that, on average, 57.9% of the calories eaten by participants were obtained from ultra-processed foods that include substances not used in culinary preparations, such as flavors, colors, sweeteners, emulsifiers, and other additives. One of the limitations of the study reported by the authors was the dependence on the dietary recall of individuals. The authors were concerned with: (Choose one and explain why in 1-2 sentances) A) response bias B) undercoverage C) overstratification
A group of 10-year-old boys were first ascertained in a camp for diabetic boys. They had their weight measured at baseline and again when they returned to camp 1 year later. Each time, a serum sample was obtained from which a determination of hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) was made. HgbA1c (also called glycosylated hemoglobin) is routinely used to monitor compliance with taking insulin injections. Usually, the poorer the compliance, the higher the HgbA1c level will be. The hypothesis is that the level HgbA1c is related to weight. The data in Table 11.28 were obtained. 11.95 Compute a rank correlation between change in weight and change in HgbA1c, each over 1 year. Use this measure to directly test the hypothesis that change in weight over 1 year is related to change in HgbA1c. Report a two-tailed p-value, and provide a 95% confidence interval for the underlying rank correlation.

Beryllium is an extremely lightweight metal that is used in many industries, such as aerospace and electronics. Long-term exposure to beryllium can cause people to become sensitized. Once an individual is sensitized, continued exposure can result in chronic beryllium disease, which involves scarring of the lungs. In a study of the effects of exposure to beryllium, workers were categorized by their duration of exposure (in years) and by their disease status (diseased, sensitized, or normal). The results were as follows: Duration of Exposure <1 1 to <5 ≥5 Diseased 14 13 18 Sensitized 11 20 15 Normal 78 140 209 Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude? State the null and alternate hypotheses.
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body and has several important functions. Most of the body calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, where it functions to support their structure. Recommendations for calcium are provided in Dietary Reference Intakes, developed by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. The recommended adequate intake (RAI) for calcium for adults (ages 19-50) is 1000 mg per day. A random sample of 18 adults with incomes below the poverty level gave the following calcium intakes:886 633 943 847 934 8411193 820 774 834 1050 10581192 975 1313 872 1079 809Assume the population standard deviation for daily calcium intake for adults with incomes below the poverty level is 188mg.At the 0.05 level of significance, does the data provided above provide evidence to suggest that the mean calcium intake of all adults with incomes below the poverty level is less than the RAI pf 1000mg per day?
