An Egg Production Company recently found that eating eggs does not increase a person’s blood serum cholesterol. Five hundred subjects participated in a study that lasted for 2 years. The participants were randomly assigned to either no-egg group or a moderate-egg group. The blood serum cholesterol levels were checked at the beginning and end of the study. Overall, the groups’ levels were significantly different. The company reminds that eating egg is healthy if done in moderation. Many of the previous studies relating eggs and high blood serum cholesterol jumped to improper conclusion. Using this information, answer the following questions: What prompted the study? What is the population under study? Was a sample collected?

The confidence interval is reported as follows: Lower 95% CI < p < Upper 95% CI For this question you will be calculating the confidence interval but only reporting the Upper 95% CI using the Agresti-Coull Method. ( (you'll need to know the whole 95% CI for a future question) Do NOT use calculations from previous questions, this is a new scenario. In the Invisible Gorilla Experiment, 24 students were watching the video, only 7 noticed the gorilla. Calculate the 95% CI using the Agresti-Coull method, but only report the Upper 95% CI. Report your answer to 3 decimals.

An adequate sample size controls for chance events and individual variationsin response and thus enables us to place more confidence in the outcome. For example, would you rather trust your health to a drug that was tested on 5 people or one tested on 5,000? Why?
In a cohort study, men were classified as having high or low cholesterol levels. Among the group with low cholesterol levels there were 50 heart attacks in 5000 person-years of follow-up and among the group with high cholesterol levels there were 150 heart attacks in 6000 person-years of follow-up. 1. What was the incidence of heart attack among men with low cholesterol levels? 2. What was the incidence of heart attack among men with high cholesterol levels? 3. What was the incidence of heart attack all men? 4. If high cholesterol levels are a cause of heart attack, what proportion of heart attacks in men could theoretically be prevented if nobody had a high cholesterol level?
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion 6. In a prospective cohort study, it is found that men who drink alcoholic beverages are more likely to develop lung cancer than men who are not drinkers. However, among smokers the risk for lung cancer among drinkers and nondrinkers is the same. Also, among nonsmokers the risk for lung cancer among drinkers and nondrinkers is the same.
