The table below summarizes the results of a clinical trial testing a diagnostic device and its ability to determine if a patient with traumatic brain injury has bleeding in their brain. The actual clinical condition of the patient against which the device is being compared is a CT scan where a positive scan (CT+) means that they have bleeding in their brain; CT- means they don't have bleeding in their brain. The new diagnostic test will be useful if it can eliminate unnecessary CT scans by determining which patients don't have bleeding in their brain. Total number of patients Patients with positive test and CT+ 720 144 Patients with positive test and CT- 273 Patients with negative test and CT+ 12 Patients with negative test and CT- 291 1. Construct a confusion matrix for the accuracy of the diagnostic test. 2. Calculate the sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV for the diagnostic test. Which of these metrics is most important for the intended use of the device? Comment on the results.

A poll surveyed 503 video gamers, and 106 of them said they prefer playing games on a console rather than a computer. An ex executive at a game console company claims that more than 25% of the gamers prefer consoles. Does the poll provide convincing evidence that he claim is true? Use a = 0.05 level of significance.
A clinical trial is conducted to compare an experimental medication to placebo to reduce the symptoms of asthma. Two hundred participants are enrolled in the study and randomized to receive either the experimental medication or placebo. The primary outcome is self-reported reduction of symptoms. Among 100 participants who receive the experimental medication, 38 report a reduction of symptoms as compared to 21 participants of 100 assigned to placebo. When you test if there is a significant difference in the proportions of participants reporting a reduction of symptoms between the experimental and placebo groups. Use α = 0.05. What should the researcher’s conclusion be for a 5% significance level? Reject H0because 2.64 ≥ 1.960. We have statistically significant evidence at α = 0.05 to show that there is a difference in the proportions of patients reporting a reduction in symptoms. We reject H0 at the 5% level because 2.64 is greater than 1.96. We do have statistically…
Mammography and clinical breast examination are the two major techniques used to screen for breast cancer. However, as true for any screening test, they are not completely accurate. If it is determined, based on mammographic findings, that there is a possibility of breast cancer, this is usually confirmed or disconfirmed by a subsequent biopsy. A false positive test is a mammogram positive test that is disconfirmed by biopsy. The data in Table 1 were reported in a paper concerning breast cancer screening (Elmore, et al, New England Journal of Medicine 1998; 338(16): 1089-1096). Table 1 False positive breast cancer screening tests over a 10-year period # Screening tests # False positive tests 9762 631 1. Another aspect of mammographic screening is the presence of false negatives. A false negative is a screen negative woman who has breast cancer. False negatives usually occur because the tumors are small and hard to detect. It is estimated that among women with breast cancer, 2% of all…
In a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a sample of 546 boys aged 6–11 was weighed, and it was determined that 87 of them were overweight. A sample of 508 girls aged 6–11 was also weighed, and 74 of them were overweight. Can you conclude that the proportion of boys who are overweight differs from the proportion of girls who are overweight? Please show calcul
A physical therapist claims that 75% of people lose their balance if they close their eyes while standing on one foot. A gymnast feels that the rate is less than 75%. To test this, she randomly selects 100 people and finds that 80 of them lose their balance while standing on one foot. To determine if these data provide convincing evidence that the proportion of people who lose their balance while standing on one foot and closing their eyes is less than 75%, 150 trials of a simulation are conducted. The gymnast is testing the hypotheses: H0: p = 75% and Ha: p < 75%, where p = the true proportion of people who will lose their balance while standing on one foot and closing their eyes. Based on the results of the simulation, what is the estimate of the P-value of the test? A) 0.1133 B) 0.17 C) 0.887 D) 0.92
A health officer thinks that there is an association between diabetes (DM) and hypertension (HPT). He believes that those with DM are more likely to have HPT as well. For his research, from the hospital records, he selected a random sample of 400 patients, 300 with DM and 100 without DM. Out of the 300 DM patients, 60 had HPT as well and out of the 100 non DM patients 10 had HPT. He also recorded the patients’ gender. With the data, he performed two analyses, one for all policyholders and the other by gender. The following are some of the output from SPSS. State the percentage of DM and non DM patients who had State the test that was used in these Test if there is an association between DM and HPT
The Elisa test for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS has been used in the screening of blood donations. As with most medical diagnostics test, the ELISA test is not infallible. If a person actually carries HIV, experts estimate that this test gives a positive result 97.7% of the time (the number is called the sensitivity of the test. If a person does not carry HIV ELISA gives a negative result 92.6% of the time. Suppose that 0.5% of the public carries HIV.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) paid for “systemic initiatives” to help cities to reform their public education systems in ways that should help students to learn better. The initiative in Chicago focused on improving the teaching of mathematics in high schools. The average scores of students on a standard test of math skills were higher after two years of the programs in 51 out of 60 high schools in the city. Leaders of NSF said that this was evidence that the Chicago program was succeeding. Critics said that this doesn’t say anything about the effect of the systematic initiative. Who is correct
A team of social workers wants to compare the different effects of treatments for complex trauma. They divide 21 clients into 3 groups (n=7 each) that donot differ significantly from one another in terms of pretreatment trauma. one group gets (TFCBT), one group gets (EGT) and one receives a combination of the two (TF+EG). Clients symptoms are evaluated after treatment using a clinician interview where scores from range from 0-30 and higher scores indicate a higher severity. What test should be ran to see if there is a difference in post-treatment scores among the three treatments, and what graph should I use?
A student researcher was surprised to learn that the 2017 NCAA Student-Athlete Substance Use Survey supported that college athletes make healthier decisions in many areas than their peers in the general student body. He collected data of his own, focusing exclusively on male student-athletes to see if such habits vary based on one’s sport. He asked 93 male student-athletes whether they had engaged in binge-drinking in the last month (> 5 drinks in a single sitting). Data are provided in the table below.

Two different blood pressure medicines are being compared to determine if the average reduction in blood pressure is the same for each medication. The goal of the study is to determine if the medications differ. Twenty men age 50-60 years old are selected for the study. Ten men are chosen at random to receive the first medication and the other 10 men receive the second medication. Each of the 20 men is monitored for one month to determine the change in blood pressure over that time. Minitab provides the 95% confidence interval for (mu1 - mu2) (2.63, 14.18) a. Interpret this 95% CI. b. What assumptions (be specific) are necessary to construct this CI?
