We wish to determine the proportion of small- to medium-sized streams in eastern North Carolina which have runoff from hog farms in order to prepare for issues arising from water quality in the aftermath of hurricanes. A random sample of 259 small- to medium-sized streams is selected and it is found that 134 of them have runoff from hog farms. Which of the following is the value of the parameter of interest in this setting? a. The value of the parameter of interest cannot be determined from the given information. Ob. 0.517 c. 0.483 d. 0.03105

5. Given are five observations for two variables, x and y.
In which of the following cases is the local average treatment effect not equal to the average treatment effect? A. When an individual's decision to receive treatment depends on the effectiveness of the treatment for that individual. B. When the instrument affects each individual equally. C. When the heterogeneity in the treatment effect and heterogeneity in the effect of the instrument are uncorrelated. D. When the treatment effect is the same for all individuals. Suppose two researchers use two different instruments that are both valid (i.e., both are relevant and exogenous) to estimate the average causal effect in heterogeneous populations. In large samples, the researchers would obtain different TSLS estimates of the average causal effect. different the same

2. A leading researcher in the study of interstate highway accidents proposes that a major cause of many collisions on the interstates is not the speed of the vehicles but rather the difference in speeds of the vehicles. When some vehicles are traveling slowly while other vehicles are traveling at speeds greatly in excess of the speed limit, the faster-moving vehicles may have to change lanes quickly, which can increase the chance of an accident. Thus, when there is a large variation in the speeds of the vehicles in a given location on the interstate, there may be a larger number of accidents than when the traffic is moving at a more uniform speed. The researcher believes that when the standard deviation in speed of vehicles exceeds 10 mph, the rate of accidents is greatly increased. During a 1-hour period of time, a random sample of 50 vehicles is selected from a section of an interstate known to have a high rate of accidents, and their speeds are recorded using a radar gun. The data…
2. Who supports gun control laws more: females or males? Data were collected from a sample of 980 people. We see that 379 of the 460 females in the sample support gun control laws, while 318 of the 520 males in the sample support gun control laws. We will investigate the difference in proportions of females and males who support gun control laws. (This dataset is preloaded in Statkey.) a) What parameter are we trying to estimate? Give correct notation and a brief written description. b) What is the best point estimate for the difference in the proportions of gun control law supporters? Use correct notation and include the value. c) Find a 99% bootstrap confidence interval using the Percentile Method Include a screen shot of your StatKey output. 99% CI: d) Find a 95% bootstrap confidence interval using the Standard Error Method (show calculations based on bootstrap estimate of standard error as shown in graph from previous step): 95% CI e) Interpret the 95% confidence interval.

Table 1 shows trace-metal concentrations (zinc, in mg/L) for both surface water and bottom water at six different river locations. Our aim is to see if surface water concentration (x) is predictive of bottom water concentration (y). a. State the independent and dependent variable? b. State the Ho y HA c. Draw a scatter diagram to show a possible association between the concentrations and check to see if a linear model is justified. d.

You conducted additional studies with these men and found the following: The RR for those who drank one drink per day was 1.50 (95% CI:1.32-1.67) in comparison to the abstainers. For those men who drank three or more drinks per day the RR compared to the abstainers was 4.20 (95% CI 2.68-5.85). Which one of Hill’s criteria does this illustrate? Explain.
4.) A person's muscle mass is expected to decrease with age. To explore this relationship, a researcher randomly selected 10 persons from ages 40 to 79 years old and measured their muscle mass (unit).

A certain brand of jelly beans are made so that each package contains about the same number of beans. The filling procedure is not perfect, however. The packages are filled with an average of 375 Jelly beans, but the number going into each bag is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 8. Yesterday, Jane went to the store and purchased four of these packages in preparation for a Spring party. Jane was curious, and she counted the number of jelly beans in these packages - her four bags contained an average of 382 jelly beans.
