In the period of 2010 – 2020 in the United States 1/3 of patients 55 years old or older had
a seasonal flu vaccine. The risk of death for a flu-vaccinated person 55 years or older in the
following 10 months is 0.6 deaths per 1,000 flu-vaccinated persons 55 years old or older. The
risk of death for a non-vaccinated 55 year old or older person in the same 10 month period is
5 deaths per 1,000. Given these numbers, what is the probability that a person 55 years or
older in the United States will survive 10 months into that year's flu season?
Suppose data shows that only 50% of breast cancer patients can survive
more than 5 years. You suspect the claimed survival rate is too low, so you'd
like to conduct a study to examine this situation. What is the null and
alternative hypothesis in this situation? Let p represent the true percentage
of breast cancer patients who survive more than 5 years.
Ho p=0.5 v.s. Ha p > 0.5
Ho p=0.5 v.s. Ha : p 0.5

- Cardiovascular Disease Suppose the incidence rate of myocardial infarction (MI) was 5 per 1000 among 45- to 54-year-old men in 2000. To look at changes in incidence over time, 5000 men in this age group were followed for 1 year starting in 2010. Fifteen new cases of MI were found. Suppose that 25% of patients with Mi in 2000 died within 24 hours. This propartion is called the 24-hour case-fatality rate. Of the 15 new MI cases in the preceding study. 5 died within 24 hours.

A laboratory study is being conducted to determine energy expenditure for those who are overweight and/or obese. The researchers have enrolled only subjects with BMI above 25.0 and have quantified obesity as “units above normal”. For example, a subject with BMI of 32.3 is recorded as 7.3 (i.e. 32.3 – 25.0 = 7.3). Using this scheme, the mean obesity was found to be 8.7 kg/m2and the standard deviation was 6.4 kg/m2. If we convert the obesity measure used in this study back into conventional BMI (i.e., add 25.0 units to each measurement), what will the standard deviation be? Group of answer choices The standard deviation will be larger on the BMI scale because 25.0 units will be added back. The standard deviation will be the same 6.4 kg/m2 There is not enough information to determine this The standard deviation will be smaller on the BMI scale because, as a percentage of the whole scale, the difference between each subject and the mean will be…arrow_forward
