Q. 2 A study was conducted to study the association of coffee drinking and anxiety in a sample of adults. Among 12,500 coffee drinkers, 700 developed anxiety. Among the 16500 non-coffee drinkers, 250 cases of anxiety were observed. Display the data in 2 × 2 contingency table. Find relative risk, risk difference and odds ratio of anxiety associated with coffee drinking. Interpret the results.
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
