We are only beginning to learn about the long-term effects of space travel on human health. A study published in 2016 (Nature Scientific Reports 6, Article number: 29901, nature.com/articles/srep29901, July 28, 2016, retrieved May 6, 2017) found that by 2014, seven of the U.S. astronauts who traveled to the moon during Apollo lunar missions of the 1960s and 1970s had died, and that three of these (3/7 = 43%) had died from cardiovascular disease (CVD). The overall U.S. death rate due to CVD for adults age 55 to 64 in 2013 was 27%. Do the data for lunar astronauts indicate that, as a group, they are at increased risk of death caused by CVD? Assume that it is reasonable to regard this sample as representative of the population of past, present, and future U.S. lunar astronauts.
- a. Explain why the data in this example should not be analyzed using a large-sample hypothesis test for a population proportion.
- b. Use the output at the top of the next page from the Shiny app “Randomization Test for One Proportion” to complete an appropriate hypothesis test.

- What does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?arrow_forwardAccording to a 2006 survey conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), birth rates peak slightly between July and October each year. While a slight numerical increase in birth rates is often observed, this difference is assumed to be statistically non-significant. Thus, we would expect to see an equal number of people born during each month of the year in the United States. The "Birth Data.jasp" contains the birth months for 1380 babies (N = 1380) born during the year 2006 in the United States collected by the CDC. Conduct a Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test at α = 0.05, to see if the number of babies born each month “fits” with the CDC’s assumptions about the population. Identify the correct value for df.

- A study published by Babcock and Marks (2010) showed that the average full-time U.S. college student studied for μ = 14 hours per week (SD = 4.8 hours per week) in 2005. We want to know if this average has changed in the past 15 years. In other words, we are going to do a study in which we try to determine whether there has been an impact of the passage of time on the amount of time college students spend studying. We selected a sample of n = 64 of today’s college students and find that they spent an average of M = 12.5 hours per week studying. Does this sample indicate a significant change in the number of hours spent studying? Use a two-tailed test (this means non-directional hypothesis) with α = .05.arrow_forwardReduced heart rate variability (HRV) is known to be a predictor of mortality after a heart attack. One measure of HRV is the average normal-to-normal beat interval (in milliseconds) for a 24-hr time period. Twenty-two heart attack patients who were dog owners and 80 heart attack patients who did not own a dog participated in a study of the effect of pet ownership on HRV, resulting in the summary statistics shown in the accompanying table.arrow_forwardReduced heart rate variability (HRV) is known to be a predictor of mortality after a heart attack.

- Describe the "carry effect"arrow_forwardA cohort study is conducted to assess the association between hypertension and the risk of stroke. The study involves n=1,250 participants who are free of stroke at the study start. Each participant is assessed at study start (baseline) and every year thereafter for five years. The following table displays data on hypertension status measured at baseline and hypertension status measured two years later. 2 Years: Not Hypertensive 2 Years: Hypertensive Baseline: Not Hypertensive 850 148 Baseline: Hypertensive 45 207 Compute the cumulative incidence of hypertension over 2 years.

It includes data on temperature variations over a 20-yearperiod and is based on information from various sources, including weather stations, satellites,and ocean buoys. The dataset allows for the analysis of temperature trends in different countriesand regions, as well as the identification of areas that are particularly vulnerable to temperatureshifts.
