Chapter 1, Problem 21SE
A seven-year medical research study reported that women whose mothers took the drug DES during pregnancy were twice as likely to develop tissue abnormalities that might lead to cancer as were women whose mothers did not take the drug.
- a. This study compared two populations. What were the populations?
- b. Do you suppose the data were obtained in a survey or an experiment?
- c. For the population of women whose mothers took the drug DES during pregnancy, a sample of 3980 women showed that 63 developed tissue abnormalities that might lead to cancer. Provide a
descriptive statistic that could be used to estimate the number of women out of 1000 in this population who have tissue abnormalities. - d. For the population of women whose mothers did not take the drug DES during pregnancy, what is the estimate of the number of women out of 1000 who would be expected to have tissue abnormalities?
- e. Medical studies often use a relatively large sample (in this case. 3980). Why ?

The national average SAT score (for Verbal and Math) is 1028. Suppose that nothing is
known about the shape of the distribution and that the standard deviation is 100. If a
random sample of 200 scores were selected and the sample mean were calculated to be
1050, would you be surprised? Explain.

They randomly assigned 100 students to two groups: one group received the new teaching method, and the other group received the traditional teaching method. At the end of the semester, they measured the students' performance on a standardized test. The researchers found that the mean score for the group that received the new teaching method was higher than the mean score for the group that received the traditional teaching method. How can the researchers test the hypothesis that the new teaching method is more effective than the traditional teaching method? What statistical test should they use?arrow_forwardb) Given the following statistics, what is the probability that a woman has cancer if she has a positive mammogram result? -One percent of women over 50 have breast cancer. -Ninety percent of women who have breast cancer test positive on mammograms. -Eight percent of women will have false positives.arrow_forward

You enroll a large sample of randomly selected families in this study and the study consists of recording how long the baby listened to classical music and their later IQ score. Doing a simple linear regression, you find that you can strongly predict IQ scores from the hours listened to classical music. What should you do next? a) Publish a paper on the "Mozart effect" - how listening to classical music causes babies to be smarter. O b) Take this effect at face value, after all you did an experiment, and it is important to trust the science. c) Do a regression using socioeconomic status (SES) to predict hours listened to classical music. Then do an additional regression using SES to predict later IQ scores. Correlate the residuals of those two regressions and use that correlation in the paper you publish. d) Do an additional regression to see…arrow_forward1. Suppose that a set of samples x1, x2, ..., xn, all real numbers, are drawn i.i.d. from the same distribution. Also assume that this distribution is a Gaussian distribution, which can be represented as N(u, o²). Write a function that accepts a set of samples and returns the MLE estimator for u. NOTE: The code below will be evaluated by a Python 2.7 interpreter. def mle(samples): pass Run Reset Once your function is correct, your will receive a submission code that you should input into the answer field.
