In a study by Wang et al. (A-6), researchers examined bone strength. They collected 10 cadaveric femurs from subjects in three age groups: young (19-49 years), middle-aged (50-69 years), and elderly (70 years or older) [Note: one value was missing in the middle-aged group]l. One of the outcome measures (W) was the force in newtons required to fracture the bone. The following table shows the data for the three age groups.

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? 4. What is the research hypothesis? a) Weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general (H1: X-bar = Mu) b)Weight loss in the keto diet sample does differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general (H1: X-bar = Mu) c) Weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general (H1: X-bar does not equal Mu) d) Weight loss in the keto diet sample does differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general (H1: X-bar does not equal Mu)
Consider a cohort study to compare the mortality rate of myocardial infarction (MI) in men with sedentary work (exposed group) to men with physically active work (unexposed). If in the exposed, there were 36,000 person (man) years of observation and 126 deaths whereas the unexposed had 24,000 man-years of observation and 44 deaths. Compute the following a) Mortality rate in each cohort? b) What is the relative risk of dying, comparing these 2 groups? c) What is the attributable risk of sedentary work? d) What is the attributable benefit of physical activity? e) If we assume that MI is associated with the mortality in this cohort (causality), what proportion of the disease in the higher group is potentially preventable?
Researchers examined bone strength by collecting 10 cadaveric femurs from subjects in each of three age groups: young (19–49 years), middle-aged (50–69 years), and elderly (70 years or older). One of the outcome measures was the force in Newtons required to fracture the bone. At α = 0.05, test the claim that the bone strengths differ among the age groups. 10.

Compare the two separate scatterplots. In particular, how do the associtation compare between women with pets vs. women without pets? Does one group have more variation in systolic blood pressure than the other? If so, for which group? Does systolic blood pressure seem higher for common ages between the two groups? If so, for which group?

Cell Phone Radiation Listed below are the measured radiation absorption rates (in W/kg) corresponding to these cell phones: iPhone 5S, BlackBerry Z30, Sanyo Vero, Optimus V, Droid Razr, Nokia N97, Samsung Vibrant, Sony Z750a, Kyocera Kona, LG G2, and Virgin Mobile Supreme. The data are from the Federal Communications Commission. If one of each model of cell phone is measured for radiation and the results are used to find the measures of variation, are the results typical of the population of cell phones that are in use?
question 4 Chen et al. (2000) examined the foraging behaviour of northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) that breed along the west coast of Mexico and the USA. They attached platform satellite transmitter terminals (PTTs) to 22 male seals and recorded, for each seal, the distance (km) to its main feeding area offshore and the amount of time (days) it spent at the feeding area. The results are presented below: What two null hypotheses are being tested with the output shown above? What statistical conclusions would you draw about these hypotheses? Complete the regression equation by filling in the blanks (to the nearest 3 decimal places). duration = + * distance What is one biological interpretation of this relationship between duration and distance ? What % of the variation in duration at main feeding area was explained by distance to feeding area?
Question #4. US Universities found that 72% of people are concerned about the possibility that their personal records could be stolen over the Internet. If a random sample of 300 college students at a Midwestern university were taken and 228 of them were concerned about the possibility that their personal records could be stolen over the Internet, could you conclude at the 0.025 level of significance that a higher proportion of the university's college students are concerned about Internet theft than the public at large? Report the p-value for this test. Z0.025 = 1.96
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…
