How many stomach cancer patients and controls would be required to estimate the difference in proportion of patients with sufficient concentrations of plasma antioxidant vitamins with a margin of error not exceeding 5% using a 95% CI? The data in table 8-2 were reported recently from a similar study investigating the sufficiency of plasma antioxidant vitmians in throat cancer patients.

Rosner analyzed data from children who lived near a lead smelter (which is a facility that uses extreme heat to extract the metal lead from lead ore) in El Paso, Texas, and reported that out of 124 children studied, 23 developed colic (which is a pattern of fussiness and crying for no apparent reason). Suppose that in the state of Taxes in general at the time (early 1980s), the rate of colic in children was 16.0%. Follow the steps for testing whether the proportion of children developing clico was significantly different for the 124 children living near the lead smelter than for Taxes children in general (16%). Use alpha level of 0.03 a. Identify the null hypothesis for this statistical test. b. Identify the alternative hypotheses for this statistical test. c. Explain: Why should this be a two-tailed test, the way I have described it? d. calculate the sample proportion p̂, rounded to three decimal places. e. Calculate the appropriate test statistic, show all work. f. Based on…
It is believed that the proportion of patients who develop pulmonary complications after undergoing cardiac surgery is 8%. How large should the sample size for two groups (Intervention vs. Control) if an investigator wishes to detect a relative reduction of 25% in the pulmonary complication rate after implementing the preoperative intervention, assumed a power of 90% and a Type I error of 0.05?
Tardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on organisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 1350 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy .) A study was conducted on a sample of 18 randomly selected tardigrade colonies, finding that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean of 1375 Gy , with a sample standard deviation of 75 Gy . Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is approximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.05 level of significance, to support the claim that μ , the mean amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades, is not equal to 1350 Gy .
Tardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on organisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 900 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy .) A study was conducted on a sample of 27 randomly selected tardigrade colonies, finding that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean of 907 Gy , with a sample standard deviation of 17 Gy . Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is approximately normally distributed.

When trying to determine how many samples are needed to perform an experiment, the desired accuracy of the results are often a determining factor. Dr. Smith has designed a new scanner capable of determining blood bilirubin levels using a cell phone. Because this is a diagnostic device, Dr. Smith is concerned not just about having small standard errors, but also having good estimates for population percentiles. If he needs to determine the 95th percentile to an accuracy of 5%, what is the number of samples needed to ensure that the percentile as determined from his data (using a t distribution) is within 5% of the percentile as calculated as if the standard deviation was taken from the entire population (using a z distribution)?
A recent study reported that the prevalence of hyperlipidemia ( defined as total cholesterol over 200) is 30% in children 2 to 6 years of age. If 12 are analyzed: How many would be expected to meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia?

An investigator is using a chi-square test to compare the proportion of patients with a successful recovery after receiving one of 4 treatments. There were 25 subjects in each group. What is the critical value for testing no association or treatment and response?
In a study to estimate the proportion of smokers among the residents in a certain city and its suburbs, it is found that 24 of 104 urban residents aresmokers, while 34 of 108 suburban residents are smokers. Is there a significant difference between the proportions of smokers among urban and suburban residents? Make use of a P-value.
In a cohort study of 300 members of the Men of Leisure Club who took a vacation to the Bahamas, 170 became infected with giardiasis. One hundred twenty nine (129) who swam in a resort pool became ill, and 94 who did not swim did not become ill. Set up the 2x2 table and calculate the appropriate rate of risk.
In the cancer institute of Philippine General Hospital, there were 529 patients who undergo chemotherapy and 326 patients undergoing radiotherapy. Physicians found out that at baseline assessment, 249 subjects in the chemotherapy group were underweight, while at baseline, 134 patients under the radiotherapy group were underweight. Is there a significant difference in the presence of "underweight" nutritional status between the two groups of this study?
