2.In an population based study to investigate the relationship between suicidal rate amongchildren by living arrangement (with single parent vs, with both parents), found 26 suicidalcase among 65078 children living with single parent, while 89 suicidal cases among 921264children living with both parents. Calculate (i) Risk Ratio, (ii) Odds Ratio, (iii) Excess Risk and(iv) Attributable Risk. Also calculate Cl for Risk Ratio and Odds Ratio. Interpret your findings.

Suppose an investigator has studied the possible association between the use of a weight-loss drug and a rare central nervous system (CNS) disorder. He samples from a group of volunteers with and without the disorder, and records whether they have used the weight-loss drug.

What test would you use to evaluate the null hypothesis of no association between weight-loss drug use and presence of a CNS disorder?
