Jim Bob Pharmaceuticals is testing a new anti-coughing drug, "Maplex". In 400 volunteers who took Maplex, 250 said they coughed less. Does this prove that Maplex is an effective anti-coughing drug? A. Not yet. We need to see whether the same percent of volunteers who took a placebo also report coughing B. There is no way to either prove or disprove that Maplex reduces coughing C. Yes

A study is done to examine whether there is an association between the daily use of vitamins C & E and risk of coronary artery disease (heart attacks) over a 10 year period. When subjects who took both vitamins were compared to those who took not vitamins at all, the risk ratio was found to be 0.70. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of this finding? Answer and explain. a. The incidence of coronary artery disease in those who take vitamins C & E daily is 0.70 (or 70%) b. Those who take vitamins C & E daily have 0.7 times the risk of heart attack compared to those who do not take vitamins c.The risk difference in this study is 70 per 100 vitamin users over ten years d. The odds ratio in this study is 70 per 100 vitamin users over ten years e. The risk difference in this study is 0.70 per 100 vitamin users over ten years

he first involved an assessment of the relationship between cigarette smoking and incidence of lung cancer. For cigarette smokers, the lung cancer incidence rate was Ie = 200 per 100,000. For nonsmokers, the lung cancer incidence rate was Io = 25 per 100,000. The lung cancer incidence rate in the entire population was It = 100 per 100,000. The second study involved an assessment of the relationship between cigarette smoking and incidence of coronary heart disease. For cigarette smokers, the coronary heart disease incidence rate was Ie = 500 per 100,000. For nonsmokers, it was Io = 250 per 100,000. In the overall population, the coronary heart disease rate was It = 300. 1. What is relative risk the of developing lung cancer in the first study and of developing coronary heart disease in the second study? Interpret. 2. From the data involving cigarette smoking and lung cancer incidence, what are the attributable risk and the attributable-risk percent? Interpret the result. 3. From the…
