A particular paper described a study of children who were underweight or normal weight at age 2. Children in the sample were classified according to the number of sweet drinks consumed per day and whether or not the child was overweight one year after the study began. Is there evidence of an association between whether or not children are overweight after one
year and the number of sweet drinks consumed? Assume that it is reasonable to regard the sample of children in this study as representative of 2 to 3 years old children and then test the appropriate hypotheses using a .05 significance level. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

A study published in the American Journal of Public Health was conducted to determine whether the use of seat belts in motor vehicles depends on ethnic status in
San Diego County. A sample of 792 children treated for injuries sustained from motor vehicle accidents was obtained, and each child was classified according to (1)
ethnic status (Hispanic or non-Hispanic) and (2) seat belt usage (worn or not worn) during the accident. The number of children in each category is given in the table
below.

- In a study, investigators surveyed individuals by telephone about how often they get tension headaches. One response variable that was measured was whether or not the respondent had experienced an episodic tension-type headache (ETTH) in the prior year. A headache pattern was called "episodic" if the headaches occurred less often than 15 times a month; otherwise, the headaches were called "chronic." Of the 1,660 women in the survey aged 18 to 29, a total of 658 said that they had experienced ETTHs in the last year. Of the 2,172 women in the 30- to 39-year-old age group, the number having experienced episodic headaches was 996.

Ten thousand (10,000) were coffee drinkers and 20,000 were not. Of the coffee drinkers, 500 developed anxiety during the 4-year follow-up period. Of the non-coffee drinkers, 400 developed anxiety during the same time period. Assume that no one in the population died or was lost during the follow-up period. Assuming that this study is representative of all freshmen nationwide. If coffee were a contributing factor to anxiety, how many cases of anxiety among freshmen in the general population would be eliminated if coffee was eliminated? 5 cases per 100 freshmen 33 cases per 100 freshmen 1 case per 100 freshmen 60 cases per 100 freshmen what the process? i will give a reviewarrow_forwardA personality study on university students was conducted to investigate the hypothesis that extroverts have lower grades than introverts.
