Chapter 2, Problem 50P
The Left Ventricular Mass lndex (LVMI) is a measure of the enlargement of the left side of the heart and is expressed in the units (gm/ht(m)2.7). High values may predict subsequent cardiovascular disease in children as they get older (Urbina et al., [11]). A study is performed to relate the level of LVMI to blood pressure category in children and adolescents age 10–18. The bp level of children was categorized as either Normal (bpcat = 1 or bp percentile < 80% for a given age, gender, and height), Pre-Hypertensive (bpcat = 2 or bp percentile ≥ 80% and bp percentile < 90%), or Hypertensive (bpcat = 3 or bp percentile ≥ 90%). The data are available in the data set LVM.XLS at www.cengagebrain.com

A researcher notes that there seems to be a difference in the prevalence of high cholesterol among individuals who smoke and consume diets high in processed food and the prevalence of high cholesterol among individuals who do not smoke and do not consume diets high in processed foods. Use the appropriate hypothesis to determine if diet and smoking status are related (independent) at the 5%.

A researcher wonders whether younger mothers have babies that are significantly heavier or
lighter than the population average of μ 7.25 pounds. The researcher collects data from N
= 35 babies who were born to mothers between the ages of 16 and 18. The average weight
for these babies was M = 7.15 pounds (SD = .6 pounds).

- A researcher is interested in testing the relationship between smoking and BMI (kg/m2) in adults aged 30-45. In order to test this association, the researcher divides smoking into currently more than a pack a day, currently less than a pack a day, and never smokers. The following table represents the BMIs for each participant enrolled by their respective smoking category.

- what is the difference between t-statistic and z-statistic ? Compare the t-statistic formula and the z-statistic formula?arrow_forward“Normal” BMI is up to 25 kg/m2. A laboratory study is being conducted to determine energy expenditure for those who are overweight and/or obese. The researchers have enrolled only subjects with BMI above 25.0 and have quantified obesity as “units above normal”. For example, a subject with BMI of 32.3 is recorded as 7.3 (i.e. 32.3 – 25.0 = 7.3). Using this scheme, the mean obesity was found to be 8.7 kg/m2and the standard deviation was 6.4 kg/m2. If we convert the obesity measure used in this study back into conventional BMI (i.e., add 25.0 units to each measurement), what will the standard deviation be? Group of answer choices The standard deviation will be larger on the BMI scale because 25.0 units will be added back. The standard deviation will be the same 6.4 kg/m2 There is not enough information to determine this The standard deviation will be smaller on the BMI scale because, as a percentage of the whole scale, the difference between each subject and the mean will be…arrow_forwardAnkle Brachial Index. The ankle brachial index (ABI) compares the blood pressure of a patient’s arm to the blood pressure of the patient’s leg. The ABI can be an indicator of different diseases, including arterial diseases. A healthy (or normal) ABI is 0.9 or greater. In a study by M. McDermott et al. titled “Sex Differences in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Leg Symptoms and Physical Functioning” (Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, Vol. 51, No. 2, pp. 222–228), the researchers obtained the ABI of 187 women with peripheral arterial disease. The results were a mean ABI of 0.64 with a standard deviation of 0.15. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that, on average, women with peripheral arterial disease have an unhealthy ABI?arrow_forward
