The mammogram is helpful for detecting breast cancer in its early stages. However, it is an imperfect diagnostic tool. According to one study,1 86.6 of every 1000 women between the ages of 50 and 59 that do not have cancer are wrongly diagnosed (a ‘‘false positive”), while 1.1 of every 1000 women between the ages of 50 and 59 that do have cancer are not diagnosed (a ‘‘false negative”). One in 38 women between 50 and 59 will develop breast cancer.If a woman between the ages of 50 and 59 has a positive mammogram, what is the probability that she will have breast cancer?Round your answer to four decimal places.

Incidence rate refers to new cases for 'collective time at-risk' that can be measured as person-years, person-months or even person-days etc. A three-year study reported a total of 3538 cases at the end and this total included old or pre-existing 605 cases identified at baseline. Please calculate incidence rate if total time at risk is 14155 person-years. NOTE: Calculate Incidence rate as per 1000 person-years & type in only your final answer with two decimals. Correct rounding and use of brackets on your calculator are essential.

A clinical trial is run to investigate the effectiveness of an experimental drug in reducing preterm delivery to a drug considered standard care and to placebo. Pregnant women are enrolled and randomly assigned to receive either the experimental drug, the standard drug or placebo. Women are followed through delivery and classified as delivering preterm (< 37 weeks) or not. The data are shown below. Is there a statistically significant difference in the proportions of women delivering preterm among the three treatment groups? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following 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.

8. pu) A fast-food company advertises that the pre-cooked weight for its half-pound burgers is, on average, 0.5 Ibs. The company runs a regular quality control test that involves weighing a sample of burgers to see if the mean weight is significantly different than 0.5 lbs. Tina takes a random sample of 31 burgers from a batch of over a thousand burgers. She finds the sample mean weight of the burgers to be 0.54 Ibs with a standard deviation of 0.1 Ibs. She wants to use these sample data to test whether the mean weight of their burgers is significantly different than 0.5 lbs at the 5% significance level. (A) Let u be the population mean weight of the burgers. Set up the null- and alternative hypothesis. Ho: H1: (B) Find the value of the test statistic.

Employees of a state university system can choose from among four different health plans. Each plan differs somewhat from the others in terms of hospitalization coverage. Four random samples of recently hospitalized individuals were selected, each sample consisting of people covered by a different health plan. The length of the hospital stay (number of days) was determined for each individual selected. USE SALT (a) What hypotheses would you test to decide whether the mean lengths of stay are not the same for all four health plans? (Let μ₁, M₂, M3, and 4 be the true mean length of hospital stay for the four different health plans.)

Suppose that Kim is a participant in a study that compares several coaching methods to see how they affect math Scholar Aptitude Test (SAT) scores. The grand mean of math SAT scores for all participants (My) in the study is 550. The group that Kim participated in had a mean math SAT score of 565. Kim’s individual score on the math SAT was 610. What was the estimate residual component 'eij' (of Kim’s score, that is, the part of Kim’s score that was not related to the coaching method? (Both parts of this question call for specific numerical values as answers). What was that “effect” (ai) component of Kim's score?
There is a screening test for prostate cancer that looks at the level of PSA (prostate- specific antigen) in the blood. There are a number of reasons besides prostate cancer that a man can have elevated PSA levels. In addition, many types of prostate cancer develop so slowly that that they are never a problem. Unfortunately there is currently no test to distinguish the different types and using the test is controversial because it is hard to quantify the accuracy rates and the harm done by false positives. For this problem we'll call a positive test a true positive if it catches a dangerous type of prostate cancer. We'll assume the following numbers: Rate of prostate cancer among men over 50 = 0.0005 True positive rate for the test = 0.9 False positive rate for the test = 0.01 Let T be the event a man has a positive test and let D be the event a man has a dangerous type of the disease. Find P(D|T) and P(DTC).
