A study was performed on 200 elementary school students to investigate whether regular Vitamin A supplementation was effective in preventing colds during the month of March. Out of 100 students who received daily Vitamin A supplements during the month of March 15 had an experience of cold, and 25 had not experienced cold out of 100 students who didn’t receive Vitamin A during the same month. Test the hypothesis that taking Vitamin A and cold status in the population of elementary school students have an association. (Use α = 0.05 and show all the steps)
A new drug study was conducted by a drug company. In the study, 10 people were chosen at random to take Vitamin X for 3 months and then have their cholesterol levels checked. In addition, 10 different people were randomly chosen to take Vitamin Y for 3 months and then have their cholesterol levels checked. All 20 people had cholesterol levels between 8 and 10 before taking one of the vitamins. The drug company wanted to see which of the 2 vitamins had the greatest impact on lowering people’s cholesterol. The following data was collected: Vitamin X7.27.55.26.57.7106.47.67.77.8 Vitamin Y4.84.44.55.16.58.03.14.65.26.1 Draw a box-and-whisker plot for both sets of data on the same number line.Use the double box-and-whisker plots to compare the 2 vitamins and provide a conclusion for the drug company.State the skewness of both distributions and justify your answer.
A small epidemiological study was carried out in which we selected 100 women over the age of 60 with endometrial (uterus) cancer and 100 women over the age of 60 without endometrial cancer. All 200 women were contacted and asked, “Were you obese at age 50?” Among those with endometrial cancer, 75 said they were obese at age 50; amongthose without endometrial cancer, 60 said they were obese at age 50.
A Journal published longitudinal study of hearing impairment in a group of elderly patients with intellectual disabilities. The hearing function of each patient was screened each year over a 10 - year period. At the study's conclusion, the hearing loss of each patient was categorized as severe, moderate, mild, or none. The classification of the 28 surviving patients are summarized in the following table. Hearing loss Number of Patients None 7 Mild 7 Moderate 9 Severe 5 Total 28 Conduct a test to determine whether the trueproportions of intellectually disabled elderly patients in each ofthe hearing-loss categories differ. Use a 5% significance level. We are doing this on a Ti84 plus Calculator.
Wertheretal et al. examined the β-leucocyte count (/ L) in 51subjects with colorectal cancer and 19 healthy controls. The cancer patients were also classified into Dukes’s classification (A,B,C) for colorectal cancer that gives doctors a guide to the risk, following surgery, of cancer coming back or spreading to other parts of the body. An additional category (D) identified patients with disease that had not been completely resected. The results are displayed in the following table. Perform an analysis of these data in which you identify the sources of variability and specify the degrees of freedom for each. Do these data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that, on average, leucocyte counts differ among the five categories? Let α=0.01 . Write the null and alternative hypotheses of this study. Test the claim using the ANOVA Table. If you reject the null hypothesis, interpret your results using multiple comparison test Bonferroni. What assumptions must be made in part (b)? Are they…
A marketing survey involves product recognition in New York and California. Of 558 New Yorkers surveyed, 193 knew the product while 196 out of 614 Californians knew the product. At the 0.05 level of significance, test the claim that the recognition rates are different. ( less or greater )
Attempting to improve the quality of services provided to customers, the owner of a chain of high-fashion department stores randomly selected a number of clerks for special training in customer relations. Of this group, only 10% were the subject of complaints to the store manager during the 3 months following the training. On the other hand, 15% of a sample of untrained clerks were mentioned in customer complaints to the manager during this same period. The data are in file Clerks, with data for each group coded as 1 = not mentioned in a complaint and 2 = mentioned in a complaint. Using the 0.05 level of significance, does the training appear to be effective in reducing the incidence of customer dissatisfaction with sales personnel? Identify and interpret the p-value for the test. 2-Sample Z-Test, Comparing Proportions from Independent Samples When the Hypothesized Difference is 0 Calculated Values: pbar = 0.125 Summary…

QDOS-B Are there more children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in states that have larger urban areas over states that are mostly rural? In the state of Pennsylvania, a fairly urban state, there are 245 eight year olds diagnosed with ASD out of 18,440 eight year olds evaluated. In the state of Utah, a fairly rural state, there are 45 eight year olds diagnosed with ASD out of 2,123 eight year olds evaluated ("Autism and developmental," 2008). Is there enough evidence to show that the proportion of children diagnosed with ASD in Pennsylvania is more than the proportion in Utah? Test at the 1% level.

Infliximab In an article appearing in the journal TheLancet in 2002, medical researchers reported on theexperimental use of the arthritis drug infliximab in treatingCrohn’s disease. In a trial, 573 patients were given initial5-mg injections of the drug. Two weeks later, 335 hadresponded positively. These patients were then randomlyassigned to three groups. Group I received continuedinjections of a placebo, Group II continued with 5 mg ofinfliximab, and Group III received 10 mg of the drug. After30 weeks, 23 of 110 Group I patients were in remission,compared with 44 of 113 Group II and 50 of 112 Group IIIpatients. Do these data indicate that continued treatmentwith infliximab is of value for Crohn’s disease patientswho exhibit a positive initial response to the drug?
