Suppose we take a sample of 2,500 blood donors from a population for which 50% (0.5) have type O+ blood. (a) Into what range of possible values should the sample proportion fall 95% of the time, according to the Empirical Rule? to (b) If the sample included only 625 donors instead of 2,500, would the range of possible sample proportions be wider, more narrow, or the same as with a sample of 2,500 donors? Explain your answer, and explain why it makes intuitive sense. The range would be with 625 donors compared to a sample of 2,500 donors since the standard deviation of the sampling distribution would be . This makes intuitive sense because if fewer donors are included in the sample, the proportion will be reliable as an estimate of the proportion.
Determine the critical value if given: n = 30; HA : µ > 5 and level of significance is 4%.
Consider a cohort study to compare the mortality rate of myocardial infarction (MI) in men with sedentary work (exposed group) to men with physically active work (unexposed). If in the exposed, there were 36,000 person (man) years of observation and 126 deaths whereas the unexposed had 24,000 man-years of observation and 44 deaths. Compute the following a) Mortality rate in each cohort? b) What is the relative risk of dying, comparing these 2 groups? c) What is the attributable risk of sedentary work? d) What is the attributable benefit of physical activity? e) If we assume that MI is associated with the mortality in this cohort (causality), what proportion of the disease in the higher group is potentially preventable?
A simple random sample of heights of 6400Englishmen has a mean of 67.85 inches and SD 2.56 inches, while a simple random sample of heights of 1600 Australians has a mean of 68.55 inches and SD of 2.52 inches. D the data indicate that Australians are, on the average, taller than Englishmen?
The performance of two analysts in determining total mercury (mg / kg) in fish was evaluated using the absorption spectrometry method. The results on the concentrations of mercury found in fish, for each analyst, are presented in the table below: Analyst 1 Analyst 2 7 12 9 8 6 9 11 13 13 14 8 9 7 8 13 10 12 7 9 15 (a)Is the performance in determining total mercury for Analyst 1 more accurate than Analyst 2? Compare the accuracy in the results of the two analysts at a 95% confidence level. Explain. (b)Are the results obtained by the two analysts, in the concentrations of mercury found in the fish, statistically equivalent, with 95% confidence? Explain
Which of the following is the best description of a multiple-baseline design? a. A study that takes several measures on nonequivalent groups before and after treatment. b. A study that takes baseline measures, then introducing the independent variable, and then retaking the baseline measures. c. A study that assesses the effects of introducing the treatment at different times over multiple subjects, behaviors, or situations. d. A study that reintroduces the independent variable after the second baseline measure.
