Recently findings have been reported from a prospective cohort study that demonstrated a significant positive association between coffee consumption and increased risk of coronary heart disease. The authors reported a 21/2 fold increased risk among those drinking 5 or more cups of coffee daily, with a 95% CI from 1.08 to 5.77. Based on these data, PH office recommended people limit their coffee drinking to 2 cups or less per day. On what basis do you agree or disagree with this recommendation?

To combat antibiotic resistance, the Quality Improvement Consortium recommends a throat swab to confirm strep throat before a physician prescribes antibiotics to children under age 5. Nationally, 40 percent of children under 5 who received antibiotics did not have a throat swab. The Colorado Department of Health took a random sample of 100 children under the age of 5 who received antibiotics for throat infections and found that 30 did not have a throat swab. At α = .05, is this a statistically significant reduction over last year’s national rate of 40 percent? (a-1) Choose the correct null and alternative hypotheses. H0: π ≥ .40 vs. H1: π < .40 H0: π ≤ .40 vs. H1: π > .40 H0: π = .40 vs. H1: π ≠ .40 (a-2) Calculate the critical value. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign.

An industrial/organizational psychologist has been consulting with a company that runs weekend job-seeking workshops for the unemployed. She collected data on several issues related to these workshops and, after conducting statistical tests, obtained statistically significant findings. She needs to find a way to evaluate effect size so that she can make recommendations to the company. One of the psychologist’s findings is that immediately after the workshop, a sample of 81 job seekers who received training on using the Internet to find job listings worked more than 30 hours per week an average of 8.7 months in the last year, with a standard deviation of 4.1. The typical job seeker works 7.4 months. The psychologist finds that the estimated Cohen’s d is , the t statistic is 2.83, and r² is . Using Cohen’s d and Cohen’s guidelines for interpreting the effect size with the estimated Cohen’s d, there is a treatment effect. Using r² and the extension of Cohen’s guidelines…
