Another researcher also decides to conduct a study to observe the association between smoking cessation among long-term smokers and obesity since it has been previously well documented in the literature that smokers tend to gain weight when they stop smoking. The researcher notes that among the individuals who gain weight, many of them have developed heart problems or other medical problems that typically prevent them from exercising as much as their counterparts. In this case the researcher notes that individuals who have developed the heart problems or other medical problems causing them to gain weight also came from family with a high prevalence of risk-taking behaviors so they consume unhealthy diets and are less likely to exercise in general than their counterparts. This is an example of which of the following? Multilpe Choice Confounding Effect modification Recall bias Socially desirable response bias
If two variables are associated, does that mean they are necessarily causally related and What info is additionally needed?
A nutritionist believes that obesity is more prevalent among American adults than it was in the past. He discovers that in a study conducted in the year 1994, 380 of the 1630 randomly chosen adults were classified as obese. However, in a more recent study, he finds 726 out of 2350 randomly chosen adults were classified as obese. At α = 0.05, do these studies provide evidence to support the nutritionist's claim that the proportion of obese adults has significantly increased since 1994?
Theoretically, returns on stocks or assets can be negatively correlated. In the real world, however, we usually encounter only positive correlations. Why may this be the case?
After examining these data for all the jurisdictions, someone notes that certain areas have an unusually high “percent of 18-64 yr-olds with no high school diploma.” Based on this finding, this individual concludes that the high percentages are due to the rising population of immigrants in those areas. Further, the individual argues that any estimates of the associated “percent of low-income working families” in those areas should be recalculated after removing this sub-population from the data set, as they are causing the area to “look bad”. In addition to thinking critically, use the key rules about linear regression and extrapolation to write a statistically appropriate and socially responsible response to the individual’s conclusion and argument.
