Group of answer choices a)the threshold at which you will reject the null hypothesis b)the probability of the null hypothesis being false c)the percentage of days you are sick during the year d)the probability of the null hypothesis being true
In a cohort study, the ratio of the incidence rate of a disease in an exposed group to the incidence rate of the disease in a nonexposed group is the: a. Relative risk b. Risk difference c. Prevalence ratio d. Odds ratio
It is often stated that excess mortality (in general) is higher in low socioeconomic populations. Which factors contribute to this statistic?
A researcher uses a 95% confidence interval to test whether an odds ratio of 1.8 is statistically significant (95% CI = 1.3 – 2.6). If the researcher wishes to be more confident and uses a 99% CI, with the same N in each group, the 99% confidence interval will be: A. Narrower because we will have more confidence in the interval.B. Wider, because to be more confident with the same interval you would need alarger sample size.C. Neither. A researcher conducts a prospective cohort study and obtains a Rate Ratio of 2.44 (95% CI 0.81-5.22). In reality there is truly a difference between the exposed group and the unexposed group (the null hypothesis is false). Based on the information provided by the researcher we see that no error has been made. A. True B. False
You read a study in which 55 male participants (aged 55-70 years) were assessed for handgrip strength, and changes in cardiovascular health over a 2-year period. In the statistical analysis section of the paper you note that the researchers used regression analysis as the statistical procedure. The researchers identify the independent variable as handgrip strength, and the dependent variable as change in cardiovascular health. What do you think the research question could be?You read a study in which 55 male participants (aged 55-70 years) were assessed for handgrip strength, and changes in cardiovascular health over a 2-year period.

Which of the following is not true of cohort studies? a. Risk can be observed directly in a cohort study b. Cohort studies are good for studying the impact of rare exposures in the population c. The exposure is well defined in cohort studies d. Cohort studies carry the highest risk of misclassification of exposures (that is, incorrect identification of participants as exposed or unexposed)
Compare and contrast the processes of bottleneck effects and founder effects.
An early study found that postal workers who worked in the office had higher rates of coronary heart disease than those who delivered mail on foot. The investigators concluded that physical activity is inversely related to risk of developing coronary heart disease. Sceptics disagreed, pointing out that the postal clerks were older than the postal carriers, and that age is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. This argument highlights the possible role of: -Chance? -Selection bias? -Recall bias? -Confounding?
10,000 individuals are sampled from a population and are found to display one of three blood types: AA with 6800 individuals, AB with 2800 individuals and type BB with 400 individuals. a) What is the frequency of each genotype in the population? b) What is the frequency of the A allele? c) What is the frequency of the B allele?

In this fictitious example of a cohort study, we found that in a factory of 3,000 workers, 1,000 workers were exposed to toxic substances, and 2,000 were not. During the study period, 800 of the exposed workers developed some type of lung disease, and only 40 of the non-exposed workers developed a lung disease. A. What is the incidence of lung disease among exposed workers? Use 1,000 as the multiplication factor and answer should be in whole numbers. B. What is the incidence of lung disease among non-exposed workers? Use 1,000 as the multiplication factor and answer should be in whole numbers.
