Hand written please. An investigator wants to assess the association between manganese and blood pressure in pregnant women (side note: this is a study I am currently working on). The study plans to enroll 100 pregnant women. During the third trimester, each participant will have their manganese level and systolic blood pressure measured. Identify the type of study design and briefly describe its strengths and weaknesses.
When exposed to an infection, a person typically develops antibodies. The extent to which theantibodies respond can be measured by looking at a persons titer, which is a measure of the number of antibodies present. The higher the titer is, the more antibodies that are present. The data in Table represent the titers of 11 ill people and 11 healthy people exposed to the tularemia virus in Vermont. Is the level of titer in the ill group greater than the level of titer in the healthy group? Use the α = 0.10 level of significance.

A total cholesterol reading above 190 mg/dL is considered high.A physician is concerned that a patient may be at risk for high cholesterol. In order to accurately measure the patient's average cholesterol level, the physician instructs the patient to come into the physician's office once a week for 12 weeks for a blood lipid screening. The results of the 12 measurements are listed below. 189 186 199 197 190 186 185 200 200 200 185 190 Use the critical value method to test the hypothesis that the patient's cholesterol level is greater than 190 mg/dL, using a significance level of 10%.

This may be an advance indication of illness such as gout, leukemia, or lymphoma.f Over a period of months, an adult male patient has taken seven blood tests for uric acid.

- A diabetic person is interested in determining how the amount of aerobic exercise impacts his blood sugar. When blood sugar reaches 170 mg/dl, he goes out for a run at a pace of 10 minutes per mile. On different days, he runs different distances and measures his blood sugar after completing his run. The preferred blood sugar level is in the range of 80 to120 mg/dl. Levels that are too low or too high are extremely dangerous. The data generated are given in the following table: Distance (miles),x Blood sugar(mg/dl gram),y 2 136 2 146 2.5 131 2.5 125 3 120 3 116 3.5 104 3.5 95 4 85 4 94 4.5 83 4.5 75 Based on the scenario above, analyse the data with appropriate statistical methods and describe your findings in details.

The respondents were asked to rate a series of reasons on a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 representing little importance and 5 representing great importance. One of the reasons suggested was general curiosity. Responses for 50 people from the electronics industry results in a sample mean of 1.96 and 50 people from the food industry results in a sample mean of 3.02 for general curiosity. Use the data and α = 0.01 to determine whether there is a significant difference between people in these two industries on this question. Assume the variance for the electronics population is 1.0188 and the variance for the food population is 0.9180. Clearly state your null and alternate hypothesis. State the decision rule. Show the calculation of the test statistic. Give your answer to 2 decimal places where appropriate. State the statistical conclusion and explain the result in context of the question.arrow_forward
