Is Fast Food Messing With Your Hormones?
Examine the results of a study1 investigating whether fast food consumption increases one’s concentration of phthalates, an ingredient in plastics which has been linked to multiple health problems including hormone disruption. The study included 8877 people who recorded all the food they ate over a 24-hour period and then provided a urine sample. Two specific phthalate byproducts were measured (in ng/mL) in the urine: DEHP and DiNP. Find a 95%95% confidence interval for the difference, μF−μNμF-μN, in mean concentration between people who have eaten fast food in the last 24 hours and those who haven’t. The mean concentration of DEHP in the 3095 participants who had eaten fast food was x⎯⎯F=83.6x¯F=83.6 with sF=194.7sF=194.7 while the mean for the 5782 participants who had not eaten fast food was x⎯⎯N=59.1x¯N=59.1 with sN=152.1sN=152.1.

- To combat antibiotic resistance, the Quality Improvement Consortium recommends a throat swab to confirm strep throat before a physician prescribes antibiotics to children under age 5. Nationally, 40 percent of children under 5 who received antibiotics did not have a throat swab. The Colorado Department of Health took a random sample of 60 children under the age of 5 who received antibiotics for throat infections and found that 18 did not have a throat swab. At α = .05, is this a statistically significant reduction over last year’s national rate of 40 percent? (a-1) Calculate the critical value. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign.

When researchers detected oxygen deprivation, they randomly assigned babies to either usual care or to a whole-body cooling group. The goal was to see whether reducing body temperature for three days after birth increased the rate of survival without brain damage. What is the explanatory variable? A. Survival without brain damage B.Infants whose brains are temporarily deprived of oxygen C. Usual care or whole-body cooling
- Brink studied the effect of postural change on cardiovascular reactivity for a sample of healthy white and African American men and women. Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults. Supine measurement of blood pressure was taken after participants had lain on an examination table for 15 minutes. Blood pressure was measured five times every 2 minutes using a preset automated blood pressure monitor, and the five measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up, and an additional five measurements were made over another 10-minute period and then averaged. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Brink’s sample. Characteristics of the Study Sample (N = 842) Sample Characteristic Frequency (N) Percentage or Mean (SD) Range Gender Female Male 408 434 48.5% 51.5% Age (years) 842 55.1 (5.3) 44–67 Race/ethnicity White, not Hispanic…Bisphenol A in Your Soup CansBisphenol A (BPA) is in the lining of most canned goods, and recent studies have shown a positive association between BPA exposure and behavior and health problems. How much does canned soup consumption increase urinary BPA concentration? That was the question addressed in a recent study1 in which consumption of canned soup over five days was associated with a more than 1000% increase in urinary BPA. In the study, 75 participants ate either canned soup or fresh soup for lunch for five days. On the fifth day, urinary BPA levels were measured. After a two-day break, the participants switched groups and repeated the process. The difference in BPA levels between the two treatments was measured for each participant. The study reports that a 95% confidence interval for the difference in means (canned minus fresh) is 19.6 to 25.5 μg/L. (a) Is this a randomized comparative experiment or a matched pairs experiment? Randomized comparative experiment…A clinical trial is being conducted to determine the efficacy of a novel antiretroviral medication for HIV patients. Patients are randomized to receive either standard antiretroviral therapy or the novel antiretroviral therapy and are followed for three months. The viral load, or the amount of HIV copies per milliliter of blood, is the most important outcome. Is there statistical evidence of a difference in viral load in patients receiving standard versus new anti-retroviral therapy? A total of 30 participants are randomized, and the data are shown below and it is Two tailed Test
- Since its removal from the banned substances list in 2004 by the World Anti-Doping Agency,caffeine has been used by athletes with the expectancy that it enhances their workout andperformance. However, few studies look at the role caffeine plays in sedentary females.Researchers at the University of Western Australia conducted a test in which they determined therate of energy expenditure (kilojoules) on 10 healthy, sedentary females who were nonregularcaffeine users. Each female was randomly assigned either a placebo or caffeine pill (6mg/kg) 60minutes prior to exercise. The subject rode an exercise bike for 15 minutes at 65% of theirmaximum heart rate, and the energy expenditure was measured. The process was repeated on aseparate day for the remaining treatment. The mean difference in energy expenditure (caffeine –placebo) was 18kJ with a standard deviation of 19kJ. If we assume that the differences follow anormal distribution can it be concluded that that caffeine appears to increase…Researchers at a medical school want to compare the rates of birth defects in babies born to mothers with low-fat diets with those born to mothers with high-fat diets.

- Stressed-Out Bus Drivers. Previous studies have shown that urban bus drivers have an extremely stressful job, and a large proportion of drivers retire prematurely with disabilities due to occupational stress. In the paper, “Hassles on the Job: A Study of a Job Intervention With Urban Bus Drivers” (Journal of Organizational Behavior, Vol. 20, pp. 199–208), G. Evans et al. examined the effects of an intervention program to improve the conditions of urban bus drivers.Amongother variables, the researchers monitored diastolic blood pressure of bus drivers in downtown Stockholm, Sweden. The data, in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), on the WeissStats site are based on the blood pressures obtained prior to intervention for the 41 bus drivers in the study. Use the technology of your choice to do the following. a. Obtain a normal probability plot, boxplot, histogram, and stemand-leaf diagram of the data. b.

Navidi, et al., Pharmaceutical Research, 2009:316–328) describes a study in which a new type of ointment was applied to forearms of volunteers to study the rates of absorption into the skin. Eight locations on the forearm were designated for ointment application. The new ointment was applied to four locations, and a control was applied to the other four. How many different choices were there for the four locations to apply the new ointment?
