A survey of 90 recently delivered women on the rolls of a county welfare department revealed that 27 had a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection. Can we conclude that the population proportion with a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection is significantly less than or equal to 0.25? Let alpha = 0.05.
Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and an SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Write down the hypotheses that would be appropriate for testing if the police officers appear to have been exposed to a higher concentration of lead. Explicitly state and check all conditions necessary for inference on these data. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration…
Suppose that samples of polythene bags from two manufacturers A and B are tested by a prospective buyer for bursting pressure, with the following results: If the prices are the same, which manufacture’s bags would be preferred by the buyer? Why?
A researcher did a one-tailed one-sample t-test to test the hypothesis that babies prefer the color blue over the color red. He collected a sample of 26 babies and presented them with a red plastic star and a blue plastic start for 12 seconds. The researcher measured the amount of time each baby spent watching the blue star out of the 12 seconds. What is the critical t value, assuming the alpha level used was .05?
A drug company maintains that a new drug G for a certain disease has a 50% cure rate as compared with drug H, which has only a 25% cure rate. You are asked to design a clinical trial comparing drugs G and H. Using the following table, estimate the number of patients needed in each therapy group to detect such a difference with alpha=0.05, two-sided, and beta=0.20.
A survey of 90 recently delivered women on the rolls of a county welfare department revealed that 27 had a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection. What is the critical value of z if we need to conclude that the population proportion with a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection is less than 0.25.
A nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412 Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusion
J 2 RCT was conducted to evaluate efficacy and safety of drug simvastatin compared to placebo in reducing mortality and morbidity in patients with coronary heart disease. Subjects were followed up on average 5.4 years. Over the duration of the follow-up, 63 subjects died due to heart attack among 2,223 subjects in the placebo group compared to 30 deaths among 2,221 patients in the simvastatin drug group. 1. What is the Relative Risk or death from the heart attack in the simvastatin group?
A random sample of 22 women participated in a study testing whether a new banana boat sunscreen reduced their incident rate of sunburn during the summer. The average woman in the study reported getting burned 5.7 times over the past 3 months, with a SS = 179. Compare this incident rate to a rate of 7 times per 3 months. Use an alpha of .05, 2 tailed test. a) What is the t-critical value(s)? b) What is the estimated standard error? c) Compute the t-statistic. d) Make a decision regarding the null and provide a conclusion (explain what it means in regards to this particular study).
Consider the following: In general, when people diet they typically lose 10 lbs. (?σ = 2). A random sample of 16 people on the keto diet lost 15 lbs. Do people on the keto diet lose more or less weight than people on diets in general? 3. What is the Null Hypothesis? a)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar = Mu)) b)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar does not equal Mu) c)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample differs from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar does not equal Mu) d)On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample differs from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar = Mu)
Dr. Ingrid is conducting an experiment to see whether time spent reading is related to poor vision. To do so, she creates three groups and randomly assigns 17 participants to each: the first group reads for 30 min a day, the second group reads for 1hr a day, and the third group reads for 1.5 hrs a day. Dr. Ingrid plans on using a one-way ANOVA to analyze the results of her experiment. If Dr. Ingrid has set alpha to .01, what will be her critical value of F?
A study was conducted to examine if children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) had higher prenatal exposure to air pollution, specifically particulate matter < 2.5 g in diameter (PM2.5). Researchers obtained birth records of all children born in Los Angeles between 2000 and 2008 and linked these to the Department of Developmental Services records to determine if any of those subjects had been diagnosed with ASD or not. They used the birth addresses given in the birth records to determine the average daily PM2.5 for the third trimester for each child. The standard deviation for PM2.5 among ASD subjects was found to be 34.6 and for non-ASD subjects was 16.8. Assume PM2.5 is normally distributed. 4a. What was the study design? * Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) * Case Report * Nested Case-Control Study * Case-Control Study * cross-sectional study Cohort Study 4B. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? 4c. What type of statistical test would you use to analyze the…
