Motor vehicle collision is one of major causes of death in North America. Although the causes of motor vehicle collisions are complicated, many believe that cellular telephones while driving may contribute to collisions by distracting drivers. In order to test the hypothesis that using a cellular telephone while driving increases the risk of a motor vehicle collision. An observational epidemiological study was proposed to assess the association. If you are the principal investigator of the project, a. What type of observational study would be ideal to study this hypothesis? b. Why do you recommend this study design

In a study of whether taking a garlic supplement reduces the risk of getting a cold, participants were assigned to either a garlic supplement group or to a group that did not take a garlic supplement.† Based on the study, it was concluded that the proportion of people taking a garlic supplement who get a cold is lower than the proportion of those not taking a garlic supplement who get a cold. Do you think that the study was conducted in a reasonable way? What additional information would you want in order to evaluate this study? (Select all that apply.) A) whether the patients knew which treatment they were receiving B) whether the patients were randomly assigned to the treatments C) whether the patient's last name started with A through M D) whether the patient's cold lasted more than a week E) whether the experiment was conducted on a sufficient number of patients so that the differences observed could not be attributed to chance
1.What percentage of females are smokers? 2.What percentage of people who do not smoke are males? 3.If we want to study the relationship between gender and whether one smokes, what is the null hypothesis, in words, for this analysis?
In the book Business Research Methods (5th ed.), Donald R. Cooper and C. William Emory discuss studying the relationship between on-the-job accidents and smoking. Cooper and Emory describe the study as follows: Suppose a manager implementing a smoke-free workplace policy is interested in whether smoking affects worker accidents. Since the company has complete reports of on-the-job accidents, she draws a sample of names of workers who were involved in accidents during the last year. A similar sample from among workers who had no reported accidents in the last year is drawn. She interviews members of both groups to determine if they are smokers or not. The sample results are given in the following table. On-the-Job Accident Smoker Yes No Row Total Heavy 12 5 17 Moderate 9 10 19 Nonsmoker 13 17 30 Column total 34 32 66 Expected counts are below observed counts Accident No Accident Total Heavy 12 5 17 8.76 8.24…
