Is Seat Belt Use Independent of Cigarette Smoking?A study of seat belt users and nonusers yielded the randomly selected sample data summarized in the given table (based on data from “What Kinds of People Do Not Use Seat Belts?” by Helsing and Comstock,American Journal of Public Health,Vol. 67, No. 11). Test the claim that the amount of smoking is independent of seat belt use. A plausible theory is that people who smoke more are less concerned about their health and safety and are therefore less inclined to wear seat belts. Is this theory supported by the sample data?
The article “Treadmill Exercise and Resistance Training in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease With and Without Intermittent Claudication. A Randomized Controlled Trial” (M. McDermott, P. Ades, et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, 2009:165–174) reported the results of a study to determine whether treadmill exercise could improve the walking ability of patients suffering from claudication, which is pain caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscles of the legs. A sample of 48 patients walked on a treadmill for six minutes every day. After six months, the mean distance walked in six minutes was 348 m, with a standard deviation of 80 m. For a control group of 46 patients who did not walk on a treadmill, the mean distance was 309 m with a standard deviation of 89 m. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean distance walked between the two groups of patients.

For a control group of 46 patients who did not walk on a treadmill, the mean distance was 309 m with a standard deviation of 89 m. Can you conclude that the mean distance walked for patients using a treadmill is greater than the mean for the controls? Use the α = 0.05 level of significance.

- Is Echinacea Effective for Colds? Rhinoviruses typically cause common colds. In a test of the effectiveness of echinacea, 40 of the 45 subjects treated with echinacea developed rhi-novirus infections. In a placebo group, 88 of the 103 subjects developed rhinovirus infections (based on data from “An Evaluation of Echinacea Angustifolia in Experimental Rhinovirus Infections,” by Turner et al., New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 353, No. 4). We want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that echinacea has an effect on rhinovirus infections. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval. c. Based on the results, does echinacea appear to have any effect on the infection rate?arrow_forwardAspirin and Cardiovascular Disease. In the article by P. Ridker et al. titled “A Randomized Trial of Low-dose Aspirin in the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease inWomen” (New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 352, pp. 1293–1304), the researchers noted that “We randomly assigned 39,876 initially healthy women 45 years of age or older to receive 100 mg of aspirin or placebo on alternate days and then monitored them for 10 years for a first major cardiovascular event (i.e., nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes).”arrow_forwardA Canadian study measuring depression level in teens (as reported in the Journal of Adolescence, vol. 25, 2002) randomly sampled 112 male teens and 101 female teens, and scored them on a common depression scale (higher score representing more depression). The researchers suspected that the mean depression score for male teens is higher than for female teens, and wanted to check whether data would support this hypothesis. What conclusion can you draw from the output? The data provide sufficient evidence to reject H0 and to conclude that the mean depression score for male teens is larger than that of female teens. The data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that male and female teens do not differ in mean depression score. The data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean depression score of male teens is larger than that of female teens. The data do not provide sufficient evidence to reject H0, so we accept it, and conclude that male and female teens do…arrow_forward

A representative sample of 254 such men was randomized to be in either the intervention group (n=152, with 141 ultimately participating in the study) or the control group (n=152, with 147 ulitmately participating in the study). The primary outcome under study getting tested for HIV within the six-months following group assignment (randomization) among those who had been sexually active in this same six-month follow-up period. At six months of follow-up, 141 subjects in the intervention group reported having had sex (with men and/or women) since randomization. Of these 141 men, 114 had been tested for HIV since being randomized.

In this study, cases were antihypertensive drug patients who had suffered a first fatal or nonfatal MI through 1993, and controls were antihypertensive patients, matched by demographic factors, who had not suffered a MI. Among the comparisons reported were patients receiving calcium channel (CC) blockers (with and without diuretics) and patients receiving β–blockers (with and without diuretics). Results of numbers of patient by drug/MI status combination are given in Table 1. Compute the odds ratio of suffering MI (CC blockers relative to β–blockers), and the corresponding 95% CI. Does it appear that calcium channel blockers are associated with higher odds (and thus probability) of suffering MI than β –blockers?
