When is the age-standardised death rate more appropriate for comparing populations and when is crude death rate more appropriate?
From a random sample of 1000 Americans, it was discovered that 920 of them lived in neighborhoods with acceptable levels of Carbon Monoxide. (Source: The Environmental Protection Agency) Obtain a point estimate for the proportion of Americas who live in neighborhoods with acceptable levels of carbon monoxide.
At a research facility that designs rocket engines, researchers know that some engines fail to ignite as a result of fuel system error. From a random sample of 40 engines of one design, 14 failed to ignite as a result of fuel system error. From a random sample of 30 engines of a second design, 9 failed to ignite as a result of fuel system error. The researchers want to estimate the difference in the proportion of engine failures for the two designs. Which of the following is the most appropriate method to create the estimate? A one-sample zz-interval for a sample proportion A A one-sample zz-interval for a population proportion B A two-sample zz-interval for a population proportion C A two-sample zz-interval for a difference in sample proportions D A two-sample zz-interval for a difference in population proportions
A researcher evaluates a new cholesterol medication by measuring cholesterol levels for a group of patients before they begin taking the medication and after they have been taking the medication for 8 weeks. A second researcher measures quality of life for a group of 40-year-old men who have been married for at least 5 years and a group of 40-year-old men who are still single. Explain why the first researcher is probably not concerned about the validity of the measurement, whereas the second researcher probably is. (Hint: What variable is each researcher measuring and how will it be measured?)
20 out of 200 men randomly selected in a region and 30 out of 300 women are against vaccination. What is the point estimate of the difference between the proportions of non-vaccines between men and women?
Among individuals who eat a healthy diet and exercise frequently the point prevalence of hypertension is 0.09. Individuals subject to poverty, making it more difficult for them to eat a healthy diet and exercise frequently, have a 0.31 point prevalence for hypertension. What is the risk difference between the two groups? 0.29 0.76 0.78 0.22
A clinical trial is being conducted in order to determine the efficacy of a new drug that will be used to treat Crohn’s disease. The efficacy of the medication will not only be determined by the physical improvement of symptoms but will also be determined by using a blood test to examine the concentration of C-reactive protein (an inflammatory marker) in an individual’s blood. If the researcher wants the margin of error for the level of C-reactive protein to be less than or equal to 2.9 mg/dL and the standard deviation for C-reactive protein concentrations among Crohn’s disease patients was previously documented at 10.1 mg/dL, how many patients should be recruited for each group of individuals in the study, assuming a 95% confidence interval will be used to quantify the mean differences between the control group and the treatment group? n for the treatment group = 12 and n for the control group = 12 n for the treatment group = 14 and n for the control group = 14 n for the treatment…
Based on a poll of 1000 residents, a newspaper article claims that 62% of the residents in town favor the development of a recreational park on the west side of town. A community action group interested in preserving the environment claims that 45% of the town’s residents favor the development of a recreational park. To determine whether the sample supports the population proportion, a simulation of 100 trials is run, each with a sample of 200, using the point estimate of the population. The minimum sample proportion from the simulation is 0.46 and the maximum sample proportion is 0.76. a. What is the point estimate of the population? b. The margin of error of the population proportion is found using an estimate of the standard deviation. What is the interval estimate of the true population proportion? c.The margin of error of the population proportion is found using the half the range. What is the interval estimate of the true population proportion? d. Is the community action…
In the cancer institute of Philippine General Hospital, there were 529 patients who undergo chemotherapy and 326 patients undergoing radiotherapy. Physicians found out that at baseline assessment, 249 subjects in the chemotherapy group were underweight, while at baseline, 134 patients under the radiotherapy group were underweight. Is there a significant difference in the presence of "underweight" nutritional status between the two groups of this study? Hypothesis for two proportion is possible since the computed n1P and n2Q values are as ____ and ____ respectively which are > 5. a. 179.3, 146.7 b. 238.05, 179.3 c. 238.3, 290.95 d. 179.3, 290.95
We take another look at the confidence in the executive branch of the federal government (CONFED) is presented with two independent variables---(1) respondent race and (2) age (measured in categories as reported in corresponding tables).

After reading an article using research done by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) based in France, a statistics student decided to conduct his own study to see if the figures in the article were accurate. This article stated that 37% of email users said spam has increased in their personal email accounts and 29% said it has increased in their work email accounts. To test the first figure, let p be the proportion of email users who feel that spam has increased in their personal email. The first set of hypotheses that the student wants to test is then: Ho: p = 0.37 Ha: p ≠ 0.37 Based upon the data collected by this student, a 95% confidence interval for p was found to be: (0.25, 0.32). At the 0.05 level of significance, which conclusion can be made? a. The student cannot reject Ho, since 0.37 does not fall within the limits of the interval. b. The student can reject Ho, since 0.37 falls within the limits of the interval.…
Suppose a researcher is interested in the relationship between periodontal disease and a number of negative health outcomes. One outcome of particular interest to the researcher is hypertension (assume defined as systolic blood pressure above 140 mmHG). Suppose a team gathers a SRS of 348 participants with periodontal disease, and finds the sample average systolic blood pressure to be 157 mmHG. A) Using an assumed σ=16 mmHG, conduct a 1 sample Z test to determine if there is a relationship between periodontal disease and hypertension in this population. (Use α=0.05)
