does the result indicate whether the treatment is effective?
We want to know if students with bronchitis at 5 years have more cough symptoms when they grow up.
Out of 290 children with Bronchitis at Age 5, 32 of them has cough symptoms at Age 12.
Out of 970 children with no Bronchitis at Age 5, 43 of them has cough symptoms at Age 12.
Is the cough symptom equally prevalent in both populations?
Research suggests that spending time with animals can reduce blood pressure. I want to know whether particular animals are better at reducing blood pressure than others. I randomly select 10 participants. Each participants' blood pressure is measured when they enter the lab (Time 1; baseline). Participants' blood pressure is then measured again after they spend a half-hour with a dog. Lastly, participants' blood pressure is measured a third time after they spend a half-hour with a cat.
What is the critical value?

- Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.arrow_forwardSuppose we want to study the effect of smoking on lung capacity in women. Match the study to experimental or observational. Find 100 women age 20 who do not currently smoke. Randomly assign 50 of the 100 women to the smoking treatment and the other 50 to the no smoking treatment. Those in the smoking group smoke a pack a day for 10 years while those in the control group remain smoke free for 10 years. Measure lung capacity for each of the 100 women. Find 100 women age 30 of which 50 have been smoking a pack a day for 10 years while the other 50 have been smoke free for 10 years. Measure lung capacity for each of the 100 women.

- Please help needed on this asap. Thanks so much! It has been observed that some persons who suffer colitis, again suffer colitis within one year of the first episode. This is due, in part, to damage from the first episode. The performance of a new drug designed to prevent a second episode is to be tested for its effectiveness in preventing a second episode. In order to do this two groups of people suffering a first episode are selected. There are 170 people in the first group and this group will be administered the new drug. There are 132 people in the second group and this group wil be administered a placebo. After one year, 14% of the first group has a second episode and 18% of the second group has a second episode. What is a 90% confidence interval for the difference in true proportion of the two groups.arrow_forwardCholera, a serious intestinal disease, broke out in London in the mid-19th century. Research by a physician named John Snow indicated that the disease was caused by germs in polluted water. A vaccine for cholera was then developed in the late 1800s. A vaccine is a drug that helps a person become immune to a disease. Scientists studied 818 people to determine the effects of a cholera vaccine. The study lasted from 1894 to 1896.

- thank you …arrow_forwardDr. S. Oberman has the research hypothesis that drivers who have consumed one drink are actually slightly better (score higher on a driving test) than drivers who have had no alcohol. (One drink, she believes, makes them relaxed and not as nervous.) She tests this by having subjects take a standard driving test. We know that completely sober, college-student drivers score an average of 75 on this test, where high scores mean better driving. Dr. S. Oberman's null hypothesis is: [note: Ho means mu, the population mean according to the null hypothesis] Ho is equal to 0 Po is less than 0 Po is not known, nor can it be known Ho is equal to (or less than) 75 Po is greater than 75arrow_forwardTaxpayers who go to a treasury office to pay their contributions complain that they wait more than 7 minutes, so there is a project to open a new box with an average cost of $80,000. The administrator decides to analyze this situation and for this he takes a sample of 14 people, analyzes only one person per day. His analysis consists of measuring the fifth taxpayer who arrives in line and takes the time they wait to go to one of the two current boxes. The times taken are: 4.7, 5.8, 2.0, 6.1, 5.8, 4.7 5.7, 9.4, 5.1, 4.2, 5.9, 8.7, 2.7, 4.8. The administrator wishes to estimate a 95% confidence interval for the mean waiting time of taxpayers, which will allow him to determine whether or not to invest in a new box.a).

- You may need Each year, more than 2 million people in the United States become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. In particular, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention have launched studies of drug-resistant gonorrhea.t Suppose that, of 174 cases tested in a certain state, 11 were found to be drug-resistant. Suppose also that, of 375 cases tested in another state, 7 were found to be drug-resistant. Do these data suggest a statistically significant difference between the proportions of drug-resistant cases in the two states? Use a 0.02 level of significance. (Let p, = the population proportion of drug-resistant cases in the first state, and let p, the population proportion of drug resistant cases in the second state.) %3D State the null and alternative hypotheses.

The survey question had been available for three days and 50000 viewers responded. Should we conclude that hydrogen-pwered cars are favored by a majority of Americans? Explain.arrow_forwardHow profitable are different sectors of the stock market? One way to answer such a question is to examine profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. A random sample of 32 retail stocks was studied for x1, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was x1 = 13.2. A random sample of 33 utility (gas and electric) stocks was studied for x2, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was x2 = 10.0. Assume ?1 = 4.2 and ?2 = 2.6. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some cases, this choice will increase the P-value by a small amount or increase the length of the confidence interval, thereby making the answer slightly more "conservative." (a) Let ?1 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for retail stocks, and let ?2 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for utility stocks. Find a 95% confidence interval for ?1 − ?2.…arrow_forward
