Step 1 A major health study indicated that there's a birth month effect for schizophrenia. If a child is born during a certain month, he or she has a significantly higher chance of developing schizophrenia later in life, however, the chance of developing schizophrenia only increases by 1 in 10 million. Step 2 Based on what you know about t-tests, how can there be a significant difference for that particular month when there's such a small increase in the chances of developing schizophrenia?

Alzheimer’s disease increases in frequency with an increase in age and is responsible for deficits in memory, thinking, judgement and reasoning. Reports show that 10% of Americans over the age of 65 have Alzheimer’s disease. A researcher believes that this proportion is increasing over time and conducts a c hypothesis test. Out of the 100 Americans over the age of 65 in her sample, 15 of them have the disease. Is this enough evidence to show the researcher’s claim is true? Test at 0.05 alpha level.
You think that there might be a relationship between stress for Middle Schoolers and the number of after-school activities that the student participates in.

NCI Cancer Bulletin, December 2, 2008 Volume 5 / Number 24 Title of the article: After Menopause, Weight Affects Breast Cancer Rates More than Mammography Use Women who are overweight or obese after menopause face an increased risk of breast cancer, but a large prospective cohort study indicates that the frequency of mammography use and screening accuracy are not the primary explanations for higher rates of breast cancer in these women. The same is true of large, invasive breast cancer tumors and advanced stage disease; risk increases with weight, but higher rates are not explained by the frequency or accuracy of screening mammography before breast cancer was diagnosed. The study appears in the December 3 Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Karla Kerlikowske of the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center and colleagues gathered data on 287,115 postmenopausal women who were registered in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium database. Reflecting a trend in the…
True or False? A cohort study involves a group of individuals who has a disease compared to a similar group without the disease.
2. When you performed null hypothesis tests using a z-test for one sample proportion, what kinds of inferences can you draw about a past population's growth rate if you rejected the null hypothesis that the population proportion was 0.16?
A study designed to compare two ethnic groups on a measure of a particular personality trait used a large number of participants to have high power. The study found a significant result, but the difference between the means was very small (that is, there was a small effect size). Talk about the fact that this test is statistically significant but may not be practically significant?

Teenagers who do not sleep well or long enough may have a higher risk of raised blood pressure, which could lead to cardiovascular disease later in life. The odds of raised blood pressure increase 3.5 times for those who have trouble falling asleep at night or who wake up too early and 2.5 times for those with sleeping periods of fewer than 6.5 hours. A health psychologist is interested in studying teenagers who have diastolic blood pressure scores in the top 20%. Diastolic blood pressure scores for teenagers follow a normal distribution with μ = 72 and σ = 10. Use the Distributions tool to help answer the questions that follow. The minimum z-score necessary to be in the top 20% of the diastolic blood pressure distribution is z =0.842 . Use this z-score to determine X, the corresponding diastolic blood pressure score. X = 80.42 This score, X, is the 80th percentile of diastolic blood pressure scores among teenagers. The percentile rank of this score is 80%…
A clinical trial is planned to compare an experimental medication designed to lower blood pressure to a placebo. Before starting the trial, a pilot study is conducted involving eight participants. The objective of the study is to assess how systolic blood pressure changes over time untreated. Systolic blood pressures are measured at baseline and again 4 weeks later Is there a statistically significant difference in blood pressures over time? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following to receive full credit: 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value. You MUST show all your work to receive full credit. Partial credit is available. Baseline 4 weeks 135 136 150 142 143 135 160 158 152 155 143 140 133 128 146 129
You are concerned that nausea may be a side effect of Tamiflu, but you cannot just give Tamiflu to patients with the flu and say that nausea is a side effect if people become nauseous. This is because nausea is common for people who have the flu. From past studies you know that about 34% of people who get the flu experience nausea. You collected data on 1926 patients who were taking Tamiflu to relieve symtoms of the flu, and found that 711 experienced nausea. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of people who take Tamiflu for the relief of flu symtoms and experience nausea is greater than 34%. a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses? Ho: ? H₁: ? b) What type of hypothesis test should you conduct (left-, right-, or two-tailed)? left-tailed right-tailed O two-tailed c) Identify the appropriate significance level. d) Calculate your test statistic. Write the result below, and be sure to round your final answer to two decimal places. e) Calculate your…
researcher suspects that the actual prevalence of generalized anxiety among children and adolescents is higher than the previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents. The previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents is 3.9%, and the researcher conducts a study to test the accuracy of the previously reported prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder by recruiting 98 children and adolescents from various pediatricians' offices and tests them for generalized anxiety disorder using the DSM-5. The researcher determines that the prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among the participants of the study is 6.1%. What should the researcher's conclusion be for a 5% significance level? A. We reject H0 at the 5% level because -57.53 is less than -1.96. We do have statistically significant evidence to show the actual prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among children and adolescents…
