Chapter 10.7, Problem 74E
We are only beginning to learn about the long-term effects of space travel on human health. A study published in 2016 (Nature Scientific Reports 6, Article number: 29901, nature.com/articles/srep29901, July 28, 2016, retrieved May 6, 2017) found that by 2014, seven of the U.S. astronauts who traveled to the moon during Apollo lunar missions of the 1960s and 1970s had died, and that three of these (3/7 = 43%) had died from cardiovascular disease (CVD). The overall U.S. death rate due to CVD for adults age 55 to 64 in 2013 was 27%. Do the data for lunar astronauts indicate that, as a group, they are at increased risk of death caused by CVD? Assume that it is reasonable to regard this sample as representative of the population of past, present, and future U.S. lunar astronauts.
- a. Explain why the data in this example should not be analyzed using a large-sample hypothesis test for a population proportion.
- b. Use the output at the top of the next page from the Shiny app “Randomization Test for One Proportion” to complete an appropriate hypothesis test.

In recent years, concerns have been expressed about adverse health effects from amalgam dental restorations, which include mercury. The table below shows results from a study in which some patients were treated with amalgam restorations and others were treated with composite restorations that do not contain mercury (based on data from “Neuropsychological and Renal Effects of Dental Amalgam in Children,” by Bellinger, et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 295, No. 15). Use a 0.05 significance level to test for independence between the type of restoration and sensory disorders. Do amalgam restorations appear to affect sensory disorders?

- One of the purposes of an investigation by Porcellini et al. was to investigate the effect on CD4 T cell count of administration of intermittent interleukin (IL-2) in addition to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The following table shows the CD4 T cell count at baseline and then again after 12 months of HAART therapy with IL-2. Do the data show, at the 0.05 level, a significant change in CD4 T cell count?arrow_forwardA large research project showed that in a sample of 750 adults, 60 of them experienced a midlife crisis .

Researchers obtained birth records of all children born in Los Angeles between 2000 and 2008 and linked these to the Department of Developmental Services records to determine if any of those subjects had been diagnosed with ASD or not. They used the birth addresses given in the birth records to determine the average daily PM2.5 for the third trimester for each child. The standard deviation for PM2.5 among ASD subjects was found to be 34.6 and for non-ASD subjects was 16.8. Assume PM2.5 is normally distributed. 4a.

- HIV/AIDS patients are regularly monitored for their CD4 counts in order to make sure that antiretroviral therapies are effectiveSuppose the distribution of CD4 counts in a population is approximately normal with mu = 237 and sigma = 43 .

The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and an SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Write down the hypotheses that would be appropriate for testing if the police officers appear to have been exposed to a higher concentration of lead. Explicitly state and check all conditions necessary for inference on these data. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration…arrow_forward
- According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) sponsored by the U.S. government, a random sample of 712 males between 20 and 29 years of age and a random sample of 1,001 males over the age of 75 were chosen and the weight of each of the males were recorded (in kg). Do the data provide evidence that the younger male population weighs more (on average) than the older male population? Use “Y” for ages 20-29 and “S” for ages 75+. It was found that x̅Y=83.4, sY=18.7, x̅S=78.5, and sS=19.0. a)Suppose the test statistic is t = 2.398. What is the associated p-value?
