Chapter 10.5, Problem 159E
Glaucoma and Corneal Thickness. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the United Stales. N. Ehlers measured the corneal thickness of eight patients who had glaucoma in one eye but not in the other. The results of the study were published as the paper “On Corneal Thickness and Intraocular Pressure, II” (Acta Opthal-Mologica, Vol. 48, pp. 1107-1112). The data on corneal thickness, in microns, are shown in the following table.
| Patient | Normal | Glaucoma |
| 1 | 484 | 488 |
| 2 | 478 | 478 |
| 3 | 492 | 480 |
| 4 | 444 | 426 |
| 5 | 436 | 440 |
| 6 | 398 | 410 |
| 7 | 464 | 458 |
| 8 | 476 | 460 |

A test of body reaction to the Malaysian citizens who have taken their vaccine was conducted. Selected citizens who got side effect are categorised according to their blood type and the type of vaccine received. From a sample of 250 citizens, 150 of them were administered withSinovac while the rest received AstraZeneca. Table 4 shows the number of citizens who had side effect after being vaccinated.

Low-Birth-Weight Hospital Stays. Data on low-birthweight babies were collected over a 2-year period by 14 participating centers of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network. Results were reported by J. Lemons et al. in the on-line paper “Very Low Birth Weight Outcomes of the National Institute of ChildHealth and Human Development Neonatal Research Network” (Pediatrics, Vol. 107, No. 1, p. e1). For the 1084 surviving babies whose birth weights were 751– 1000 grams, the average length of stay in the hospital was 86 days, although one center had an average of 66 days and another had an average of 108 days.
a. Can the mean lengths of stay be considered population means? Explain your answer.b. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 12 days, determine the z-score for a baby’s length of stay of 86 days at the center where the mean was 66 days.c. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 12 days, determine the z-score for a…
An article in Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy (2005, Vol. 13, pp. 273-279) considered arthroscopic meniscal repair with an absorbable screw. Results showed that for tears greater than 25 millimeters, 14 of 18 (78%) repairs were successful, but for shorter tears, 22 of 30 (73%) repairs were successful. A doctor would like to know if there is evidence that the success rate is greater for longer tears. The P-value for the test H0: p1 = p2 versus H1: p1 > p2 is closest to:

- An experiment to determine the effect of four different types of engine oil (A, B, C, and D) on the rolling friction coefficient of a car speed has been conducted. Three brands of car (Honda, Toyota, and Mazda) were chosen, and each engine oil was tested twice on each car, producing the following ANOVA output in Figure 2. i) How many treatments involved? Write down all the treatments ii) Identify the number of replication for each treatment. iii) Based on the ANOVA table above, find the values of W, X, Y and Z. iv) Test the interaction effect on rolling friction coefficient of car speed between the four different types of engine oil and the three different brands of car. v) Do we need to test for marginal effect?
