Pesticides and ADHD Are children with higher exposure to pesticides more likely to develop ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder)? In a study, authors measured levels of urinary dialkyl phosphate (DAP, a common pesticide) concentrations and ascertained ADHD diagnostic status (Yes/No) for 1139 children who were representative of the general US population.1 The subjects were divided into two groups based on high or low pesticide concentrations, and we compare the proportion with ADHD in each group. (a) Define the relevant parameter(s) and state the null and alternative hypotheses. Let group 1 be the high pesticide group and let group 2 be the low pesticide group.
