statistical epidemiology
A comparison between species: Biologists wish to compare the prevalence of a genetic mutation across
two species of space aliens. In a sample of 6 space aliens of Species I, 0.6% had the mutation while in a
sample of 14 space aliens of Species II, 1.1% showed the mutation. Is there significant evidence to suggest a
difference in the prevalence of the mutation across the two species? Conduct a hypothesis test at a
significance level of a = 0.01.
a) The hypotheses for this test are:
O Họ: PII = 0.006
Hạ: PII = 0.006
O Họ: PI - PII = 0
Hạ: PI - PII 0
What is the test statistic for this test?
test statistic =
(Report answer accurate to 2 decimal places.)
What is the p-value for this test?
p-value =
(Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.)
The decision reached is
O Fail to reject Họ
O Reject Ho and accept Ha
As such, the final conclusion is that
O The prevalence of the mutation is the same for both species.
O There is significant evidence that suggests no difference in the prevalence…
