Chapter 6, Problem 108P
A radiologist investigates whether a new (less costly) method for identifying esophageal cancer is as effective as the gold standard.
He obtains the following test results: false positive = 0, true positive = 46, false negative = 1, true negative =17.

Researchers studying osteoporosis (bone loss) suspected that women over the age of 50 in the United
States are diagnosed with the disease more often than women over 50 in Mexico. They took a random
sample of 200 women over the age of 50 from each country. Here are the results:
Diagnosed with osteoporosis?

The researchers want to use these results to test Ho: pus – PM = 0 versus H,: Pus – PM > 0.
Assume that all conditions have been met.
What is the P-value associated with these sample results?
P-value is greater than or equal to
0.20
0.05 is less than or equal to the P-
value < 0.10
0.10 is less than or equal to the P-
value < 0.20
P-value < 0.01
0.01 is less than or equal to the P-
value < 0.05
Go through the steps of ANOVA hypothesis testing to see if you can conclude that there is a
difference among population means. Let a = 0.05.
Research by Singh et al. as reported in the journal Clinical Immunology and Immunopathology
is concerned with immune abnormalities in autistic children. As part of their research they took
measurements on the serum concentration of an antigen in three samples of children, all of
whom were 10 years old or younger. The results in units per milliliter of serum follow.
Autistic Children: 755, 385, 380, 215, 400, 343, 415, 360, 345, 450, 410, 435, 460, 360, 225
