1. A seven-year medical research study reported that women whose mothers took the drug DES during pregnancy were twice as likely to develop tissue abnormalities that might lead to cancer as were women whose mothers did not take the drug. a. This study compared two populations. What were the populations? Explain b. Do you suppose the data were obtained in a survey or an experiment? Explain C. For the population of women whose mothers took the drug DES during pregnancy, a sample of 3980 women showed that 63 developed tissue abnormalities that might lead to cancer. Provide a descriptive statistic that could be used to estimate the number of women out of 1000 in this population who have tissue abnormalities. d. For the population of women whose mothers did not take the drug DES during pregnancy, what is the estimate of the number of women out of 1000

Consider a proposed case-control study of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and maternal boba tea consumption in Irvine. Assume that 20% of Irvine mothers are regular consumers (at least 3 servings per week) of boba tea, and that the prevalence of ASD is 1/59 (making it a somewhat rare disease). Also assume that 50% of Irvine mothers who regularly consume boba tea prefer black milk tea, that the prevalence of regular boba tea consumption among mothers of autistic children is 25%, that each participant will be paid $30 to join the study, and that there are at least 1,000 mothers of autistic children and at least 100,000 mothers of non-autistic children in Irvine who are willing to participate in the study if compensated. If these assumptions are correct, what is the odds ratio describing the association between regular boba tea consumption and ASD? HINT: Recall that the disease odds ratio is equal to the exposure odds ratio.
A farmer wants to test the effectiveness of a pest control method in allowing strawberry blooms to yield marketable strawberries. Out of a random sample of 105 blooms, 77 yield marketable strawberries. Test that more than two-thirds of all blooms grown with this pest control method end up as marketable strawberries. Alpha = 0.02
In 1992, the U.S. Public Health Service and the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that all women of childbearing age consume 400mg of folic acid daily to reduce the risk of having a pregnancy that is affected by a neural tube defect such as spina bifida or anencephaly. In a study by Stepanuk et al. (A-3), 693 pregnant women called a teratology information service about their use of folic acid supplementation. The researchers wished to determine if preconceptional use of folic acid and race are independent. The data appear in Table below: Total Preconceptional Use of Folic Acid Race No Yes 559 299 260 White 56 41 15 Black 21 14 7 Other 636 354 282 Total Test the hypothesis that there is no association between the usage of folic acid and race with 5% significant level and using SPSS (Choose only 4 correct answers from the following statements): 1. The null and alternative hypothesis are: H0: The two variables are dependent. H1: The two…
In a study9 on the effects of AZT in slowing the development of AIDS symptoms, 338 veterans whose immune systems were beginning to falter after infection with the AIDS virus were randomly assigned either to receive AZT immediately or to wait until their T cells showed severe immune weakness. Output follows of modeling the 2 × 2 × 2 cross-classification of race, whether AZT was given immediately, and whether AIDS symptoms developed during the three-year study. What null hypothesis is tested by the difference between the null deviance and the residual deviance? Interpret. Explain how to set up indicator variables for azt and race to obtain the estimates shown.
The phenotypic ratio 85 of the A type and 15 of the a-type (homozygous recessive). In a monohybrid cross between two heterozygote’s, however, we would have predicted a 3:1 ratio of phenotypes. In other words, we would have expected to get 75 A-type and 25 a-type. Are or results different.
Drug manufactures of Drug X, which was released on the market 5 years ago to treat Crohn's disease, have noticed that many individuals treated with the drug have developed drug-induced lupus. A cohort study was conducted for post-marketing surveillance. It has documented that 6 individuals have develop drug- induced lupus over the course of the past 5 years. if 1 individual developed the disease at the 1-year mark, 3 develped the disease at the 2-year mark, 1 developed the disease at the 3-year mark, and the final individual developed the disease at the 4-year mark, what is the incidence rate of the drug-induced lupus?
A researcher calculated the negative predictive value of a test for carriers of X-linked ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD - a disorder of the urea cycle). A test known as the “allopurinol test" is often used as a screening device of potential carriers whose relatives are OTCD patients. Sensitivity and specificity of the allopurinol test is estimated as 0.927 and 0.997 respectively Also the prevalence is estimated in the population of individuals with OTCD as (1/32000). Use this information and Bayes theorem to calculate the predictive value negative of the allopurinol screening test.
The article “Bioremediation of Soil Contaminated Crude Oil by Agaricomycetes” (Mohammad-Sichani, Assadi, et al., Journal of Environmental Health and Engineering, 2017, online) describes an experiment to determine the effectiveness of mushroom compost in removing petroleum contaminants from soil. Out of 150 seeds planted in soil containing 3% mushroom compost by weight, 74 germinated. Out of 150 seeds planted in soil containing 5% mushroom compost by weight, 86 germinated. Can you conclude that the proportion of seeds that germinate differs with the percent of mushroom compost in the soil?
According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.33.Suppose a random sample of 109 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 47that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the α=0.05 level of significance?
An organization published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 11.5 percent of adults in a country suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, nine of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult population in the country. At a pre-conceived α = 0.05, what are your following?Decision: , Reason for the decision: ,Conclusion
