381.FA23 Homework #3 Questions 381.FA23 Homework #3 Questions 381.FA23 Homework #3 Questions SPH-Q 381.SP24 Introduction to Biostatistics—Spring 2024 Sections 12247 and 13871 Dr. Dave Fluharty Homework #3 6 Points 0.5 point each question unless otherwise indicated February 25, 2024 No late assignments accepted except in exceptional circumstances. You may use your book, notes, videos, internet, or other resources. You may discuss the questions with other students, HOWEVER, THE ASSIGNMENT YOU SUBMITT MUST BE DONE INDIVIDUALLY. For example, you might meet with a study group to discuss what questions mean and how they might be approached (including hints for JMP), but then separate and do the problems yourself. Contact Dr. Dave if this is unclear. We will review the homework questions in the first class after the homework is uploaded. Students may also ask Dr. Dave questions about this homework during Drop-In Office Hours or individual meetings. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. BE SURE TO READ THE ENTIRE QUESTION BEFORE ANSWERING IT (in the past students have lost points on this). 2. JMP is not used in this assignment. Most of our homeworks will have extensive use of JMP. 3. Write out your calculations. Do not just write down the answer unless it is just looking up a value. First write the formula you used and then show the calculations. 4. Submit the assignment in Microsoft Word or PDF format. a. Do not submit in other formats which may not be readable for grading. b. Please put your answers in a different color than the questions (this makes grading much easier). c. Be sure the answers you upload are complete. You are responsible for ensuring you uploaded the entire assignment. 5. Please read the questions carefully. In the past students have lost points for not answering the question that asked or not answering all of the question. If you have any questions—particularly if you have difficulty working with JMP--please contact Dr. Dave!! PURPOSE OF THIS HOMEWORK: To ensure you understand the basic concepts sampling & randomization, sampling design, and the relationships among sensitivity, specificity, prevalence, and predictive values.. GENERAL HINTS: When the question asks you to provide a list, provide each item in the list is one or just a few words. Explanations and descriptions require longer answers. JMP HINTS: JMP is not used in this assignment. Page 1 of 4
