27) When interacting two continuous variables in a non-linear specificati in one of the two variables: A) will be the same regardless of the value of that variable. B) will depend on the level of the variable and the amount of change in t C) cannot be calculated since the specification is nonlinear. D) depends on the level of the other control variables. 28) In general, the test statistic has the following form:

To check the effect of hot temperatures on the elasticity of two brands of rubber bands, one box of Brand A and one box of Brand B rubber bands are tested. Ten bands from the Brand A box are placed in a warm car in the sun for two hours and ten bands from the Brand B box are kept at room temperature. The amount of stretch before the breakage is measured on each rubber band, and the mean for the hot bands is compared to the mean for the others. Is this a good experimental design? No, because No, because temperature is confounded No, because No, because the means are more than two more not proper Yes brands should temperatures should be used. statistics for be used. with brand. comparison.

If my hypothesis assumes that religious women are more satisfied with life than men, would gender be my dependent variable? Religion and satisfaction with life are both independent? Is that correct?

Suppose researchers at an abdominal transplant clinic are concerned about the rate of graft loss due to diabetes status prior to receiving a donor kidney. Research has shown that gender discordance, or receiving a gender from a donor of an opposite gender may increase the risk of both exposure and outcome after transplant. Assume the following tables represent the stratified analysis of the potential confounding variable. (9 points)   Gender Discordance Graft Failure No Graft Failure Total Diabetes II 23 10 33 No Diabetes II 4 44 48 Total 27 54 81 Gender Concordance Graft Failure No Graft Failure Total Diabetes II 9 34 43 No Diabetes II 12 87 99 Total 21 121 142   A)  Calculate the stratum specific estimates for the odds ratios in each strata. B)  Observe the difference in the odds ratios. Based on observation alone, what are we likely to conclude regarding the relationship between outcome and exposure…
