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.

An experiment was designed to study oil additives that could reduce polluting the air. Two additives were considered in the study. The two additives X1 and X2 were controlled and the level of the pollution Y is observed. The data were as follows: Y X1 X2 3.9 1.5 2.2 7.5 1.5 4.5 4.4 1.7 2.2 8.7 1.8 4.4 9.6 5.5 4.3 8.5 5.5 4.5 Find the regression equation Is the model valid? Which independent variable is linearly related to Y?
The following raw data were collected by a health an analyst from 50 smokers. It represents Risk Index (R.I.) (measured as concentration ratio of certain compounds in the blood) which is used as a strong indicator for getting a cardiovascular (CV) disease. We would like to study the effect of each of the three factors (age, mass, and No. of cigarettes) on the R.I. : Answer the following: 1. Classify the data into 3 groups according to age: Young: age < 35, Middle aged: between 36 and 59, and Old: age > 60. Then study if the Risk Index is affected by age class. 2. Classify the data into 3 groups according to body mass: regular mass <70, fat mass between 71 and 99, and obese mass above 100. Then study if the mass has an influence on the R.I. 3. Produce a linear mathematical model that can predict the R.I. based on age, mass and number of cigarettes per day. Use a confidence level of 99%. 4. Comment on your linear model. Is there an evidence that a nonlinear model shall be…
A special education teacher did research on whether or not there is a relationship between the number of students in his class and the number incidents of “acting out” behaviors exhibited by the autistic students in the classroom. He collects data for a year and aggregates them by month. He obtained the statistics below, r= -.863 R2=.74 b= -1.212294 a= 131.176598 10.) How does the presence of more students affect the incidents in the class? a) as students are added the incidences increase b) as students are added the incidences decrease c) the number of students does not affect acting out d) the number of students caused more incidents How much of the variability of acting out is explained by the number of students in the class?___________

Read the following text that describes an analytical study and complete the table below it: This research investigated the association or the relationship between some factors, namely (1) type of cars, (2) age and (3) gender of the car drivers and car accidents. More specifically, the researcher wanted to find out if these three independent factors had an impact on car accidents. He hypothesized that "car accidents do not increase or decrease as a result of the age of the drivers, gender of the driver and type of car". The sample of this research consisted of 2000 car drivers of different gender, ages and types of cars. The researcher designed a questionnaire to collect the primary data required. The questionnaire was very short. It elicited some demographic data from the respondents such as their gender, their age, and the type of car they used. The questionnaire also elicited from the participants if they had had accidents, the number of accidents they had and at what age they had…

Solid fats are more likely to raise blood cholesterol levels than liquid fats. Suppose a nutritionist analyzed the percentage of saturated fat for a sample of 6 brands of stick margarine (solid fat) and for a sample of 6 brands of liquid margarine and obtained the following results: Stick:[25.5,26.7,26.5,26.6,26.3,26.4] Liquid:[16.5,17.1,17.5,17.3,17.2,16.7] We want to determine if there a significant difference in the average amount of saturated fat in solid and liquid fats. What is the test statistic? a) z = 39.604 b) t = 25.263 c) t = 39.604 d) z = 39.104 e) t = 39.104

For each of the following epidemiological scenarios, draw a DAG that represents the relationships between the variables: A researcher is studying the association between experiencing childhood abuse (A) and the occurrence of depression (D) as an adult. She has reason to believe that alcohol consumption (C) may mediate the relationship between (A) and (D).
Historically, Olympic officials have reported testosterone levels in general should be u = 538 ng/dL, with o = 189, with x being normally distributed. Summer Olympic sprinters (n = 8) from the U.S. were tested for testosterone levels the morning after the opening ceremonies. Their sample mean was ng/dL. Do these data indicate that the sprinters had an overall average testosterone level greater than 538? Use a = .05. State a, H,, H1, p-value, rejection, or non-rejection, and be certain to interpret your results.
Q2. A fast-food chain decided to carry out an experiment to assess the influence of advertising expenditure on sales. Different relative changes in advertising expenditure, compared to the previous year, were made in eight regions of the country, and resulting changes in sales levels were observed the accompanying table shows the results.
