A popular uprising that started on January 25, 2011 in Egypt led to the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. Polls show that about 70% of American adults followed the news about the political crisis and demonstrations in Egypt closely during the first couple weeks following the start of the uprising. Among a random sample of 60 high school students, it was found that only 34 of them followed the news about Egypt closely during this time. Describe how to perform one repetition of a simulation of the proportion of high school students who followed the Egyptian Revolution using blue and yellow poker chips and, once you had results, how to estimate the p-value.

A recent drug survey showed an increase in the use of drugs and alcohol among local high school seniors as compared to the national percent. Suppose that a survey of 100 local seniors and 100 national seniors is conducted to see if the proportion of drug and alcohol use is higher locally than nationally. Locally, 65 seniors reported using drugs or alcohol within the past month, while 60 national seniors reported using them.
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 What were the populations? b. Do you suppose the data were obtained in a survey or an experiment? 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 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 who would be expected to have tissue abnormalities? e. Medical studies often use a relatively large sample (in this case.3980).Why?
In the past decades, there have been intensive antismoking campaigns sponsored by both federal and private agencies. In one study of national smoking trends, two random samples of U.S. adults were selected in different years. The first sample, taken in 1995, involved 4302 adults, of which 1642 were smokers. The second sample, taken in 2010, involved 3908 adults, of which 1415 were smokers. The samples are to be compared to determine whether the proportion of U.S. adults that smokes declined during the 15-year period between the samples. Let p1 be the proportion of all U.S. adults that smoked in 1995. Let p2 denote the proportion of all U.S. adults that smoked in 2010. The value of the z statistic for testing equality of the proportion of smokers in 1995 and 2010 is: Answer:
An orthopedic surgeon observes that many of his patients coming in for total knee replacement surgery played organized sports before the age of 10. He plans to collect more extensive data on participation in organized sports from four patients undergoing knee replacement surgery and to report the findings. Identify the type of study proposed.
Two reporters are both interested in finding the proportion of people in town who are unemployed. They each collect a random sample and use the proportion of unemployed people in the sample to run 100 simulations to determine a margin of error. The first reporter claims the proportion of unemployed people in town is 0.045 with a margin of error of 0.011. The second reporter claims the proportion of unemployed people in town is 0.037 with a margin of error of 0.02. Why do you think the estimated proportion of unemployed people in town is different for the 2 reporters? Why do you think the margin of error is different for the 2 reporters?
Researchers investigated the possible beneficial effect on heart health of drinking black tea and whether adding milk to the tea reduces any possible benefit. Twenty-four volunteers were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Every day for a month, participants in group 1 drank two cups of hot black tea without milk, participants in group 2 drank two cups of hot black tea with milk, and participants in group 3 drank two cups of hot water but no tea. At the end of the month, the researchers measured the change in each of the participants’ heart health. Did the researchers conduct an experiment or an observational study? Explain. Why did the researchers include a group who drank hot water but no tea? Is it reasonable to generalize the results of the study beyond the 24 participants? Explain why or why not.
Using a theoretical framework from engineering sciences, the researcher believes that the physical set up of hospital rooms impacts rates of hand washing. After prolonged engagement, she observed the healthcare providers working on a medical/surgical floor of a hospital. As the result of her data analysis she purposefully selected 6 physicians, 10 nurses and 12 nursing aids to conducted in-depth interviews with. Subsequent to the analysis of that data she then purposefully selected 5 medical residents, 10 more nurses, the radiographers assigned to the portable imaging machine, and 15 patient transporters to conduct interviews with. She uses the data she collected and analyzed to develop a survey that she sent to 100 randomly selected hospitals across the northeast. What research design was used in this study? a. Mixed Methods b. Exploratory c. Convergent d. Explanatory

A researcher is interested in the effect of the pandemic on social media use among college students. The researcher hypothesizes that college students spend more time on social media than they did before the pandemic. To test his hypothesis, he randomly selected 50 college students and asked how many hours do they spend on social media per day before and after the pandemic. What is the research question? Do college students spend more time on social media that they did before the pandemic? What is/are the variable(s)? What graphs can be used to display the variable(s) visually? What statistical test can be used to answer the research question?
