(1). % of men in this study received only Vitamin E and developed prostate cancer.(2). % of men who took a placebo eventually developed prostate cancer.(3). % of men who did not develop prostate cancer took a placebo. Vitamin E and the Risk of Prostate Cancer: Klien et al (2011) conducted thefollowing study to determine the effect of vitamin E and selenium treatment onthe risk of developing prostate cancer in healthy men. A total of 34,887 menfrom different study sites in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico wererandomly selected. To be eligible to participate, the men had to take a rectalexamination that showed he was not suspicious of having prostate cancer andbe aged 50 years or older for black men and 55 years or older for all others.Each man was randomly assigned to receive one of four treatments: selenium,vitamin E, selenium and vitamin E together, or a placebo. The men werefollowed up after 8 years to see if they had developed prostate cancer or not.The main question of interest is to determine if the risk of developing prostatecancer differs by the treatment taken.

Aronson and Mills (1959) conducted an experiment to see whether people's liking for a group is influenced by the severity of initiation. They reasoned that when people willingly undergo a severe initiation to become members of a group, they are motivated to think that the group membership must be worthwhile. Otherwise, they would experience cognitive dissonance: Why put up with severe initiation for the sake of a group membership that is worthless? In their experiment, participants were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: Group 1 (control) had no initiation. Group 2 (mild) had a mildly embarrassing initiation (reading words related to sex out loud). Group 3 (severe) had a severely embarrassing initiation (reading sexually explicit words and obscene words out loud). After the initiation, each person listened to a standard tape-recorded discussion among the group that they would now supposedly be invited to join; this was made up made to be as dull and banal as possible.…
In their study of the effectiveness of cardiac catheterization, McClellan,McNeil, and Newhouse (1994) used as an instrument the difference indistance to cardiac catheterization and regular hospitals. How could youdetermine whether this instrument is relevant? How could you determinewhether this instrument is exogenous?
In a study of whether taking a garlic supplement reduces the risk of getting a cold, participants were assigned to either a garlic supplement group or to a group that did not take a garlic supplement.† Based on the study, it was concluded that the proportion of people taking a garlic supplement who get a cold is lower than the proportion of those not taking a garlic supplement who get a cold. Do you think that the study was conducted in a reasonable way? What additional information would you want in order to evaluate this study? (Select all that apply.) A) whether the patients knew which treatment they were receiving B) whether the patients were randomly assigned to the treatments C) whether the patient's last name started with A through M D) whether the patient's cold lasted more than a week E) whether the experiment was conducted on a sufficient number of patients so that the differences observed could not be attributed to chance

Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. Children who suffer from untreated sleep apnea often have behavior problems, including hyperactivity, inattention, and aggression. A common treatment for pediatric sleep apnea is the surgical removal of enlarged tonsils and adenoids that are obstructing the airways. Suppose researchers at a sleep clinic are interested in the effect of surgical treatment for pediatric sleep apnea on aggressive behavior. They study 11 children without sleep apnea, 11 children with untreated sleep apnea, and 11 children who have been surgically treated for sleep apnea. Aggression is measured using the Conners Rating Scales. The sample means and sums of squares of the scores for each of the three groups are presented in the following table. Group Sample Mean Sum of Squares No Sleep Apnea 0.59 0.3240 Untreated Sleep Apnea 0.45 0.4410 Treated Sleep Apnea 0.31 0.2250 The researchers perform an analysis of…
Q1: Adolescent obesity is a serious health risk affecting more than 5 million young people in the United States alone. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding has the potential to provide a safe and effective treatment. Fifty adolescents between 14 and 18 years old with a body mass index higher than 35 were recruited from the Melbourne, Australia, community for the study. Twenty-five were randomly selected to undergo gastric banding, and the remaining 25 were assigned to a supervised lifestyle intervention program involving diet, exercise, and behavior modification. All subjects were followed for two years. b. Without assuming the two groups having equal variances, give a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight loss difference between the gastric banding and intervention group. c. Test if gastric banding leads to greater weight loss than the lifestyle intervention program, give H0, Ha, test statistic, p-value, conclusion and 95% CI for the mean weight loss difference. d. Now…

The article “HIV-positive Smokers Considering Quitting: Differences by Race/Ethnicity” (E. Lloyd-Richardson, C. Stanton, et al., Am J Health Behav, 2008:3–15) reported that in a group of 230 European-American HIV-positive smokers, 102 of them had used a nicotine patch to try to quit smoking, and in a group of 72 Hispanic-American HIV-positive smokers, 20 had used a nicotine patch. Can you conclude that the proportion of patch users is greater among European-Americans?
A study is being conducted on the effect of gas price on the number of miles driven in a given month. Residents in two cities, one on the East Coast and one on the West Coast, are randomly selected and asked to complete a questionnaire on the type of car they drive, the number of miles they live from work, the number of children under 18 in their household, their monthly income, and the number of miles they have driven over the past 30 days. State whether this study is an experimental or observational study? Explain in brief the reason for your answer.
1.An experiment was conducted for better understanding of the effectiveness of a particular type of drug for reducing bad cholesterol (LDL) level. The purpose of the experiment was to determine whether different dosages used have significant different outcomes in average LDL reduction. Twenty subjects with LDL at around 250 to 300 mg/dL had participated in the study and were randomly divided into four groups. Each group was given a specific level of dosage of the drug each day for one month, with a control group that only provided with placebo. The reduction in LDL was recorded and showed in the following table. Positive number indicates reduction and negative numbers indicates increasing in DLD. Use statistical software to analyze the data and answer the following question.
