Chapter 6, Problem 23P
A study of psychological and physiological health in a cohort of dialysis patients with end-stage renal disease was conducted [7]. Psychological and physiological parameters were initially determined at baseline in 102 patients; these parameters were determined again in 69 of the 102 patients at an 18-month follow-up visit. The data in Table 6.12 were reported.

(A-16) used a Poisson model in the examination of the occurrence of GBS during latent periods after vaccinations. They conducted their study in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia. They found that during the latent period, the rate of GBS was 1.28 cases per day. Using this estimate rounded to 1.3, find the probability on a given day of: (a) No cases of GBS (b) At least one case of GBS (c) Fewer than five cases of GBSarrow_forwardThe director of an obesity clinic in a large northwestern city believes that drinking soft drinks contribute to obesity in children. To determine whether a relationship exists between these two variables, she conducts the following pilot study. Eight- 12-year-old male volunteers are randomly selected from children attending a local junior high school. Parents of the children are asked to monitor the number of soft drinks consumed by their child over a one week period. The children are weighed at the end of the week and their weights converted into body mass index (BMI) values. The BMI is a common index used to measure obesity and takes into account both height and weight. An individual is considered obese if they have a BMI value 30. The following data or collected: child. # of soft drinks consumed BMI 1 3 20 2 1 18 3…arrow_forward

Suppose that in the state of Taxes in general at the time (early 1980s), the rate of colic in children was 16.0%.

They had their weight measured at baseline and again when they returned to camp 1 year later. Each time, a serum sample was obtained from which a determination of hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) was made. HgbA1c (also called glycosylated hemoglobin) is routinely used to monitor compliance with taking insulin injections. Usually, the poorer the compliance, the higher the HgbA1c level will be. The hypothesis is that the level HgbA1c is related to weight. The data in Table 11.28 were obtained. 11.92 What test can be performed to assess the relationship between weight and HgbA1c at the initial visit? 11.93 Please perform the test in Problem 11.92, and report a two-tailed p-value. 11.94 Do the results in Problem 11.93 imply a relationship between change in HgbA1c and change in weight for an individual boy?
