Vertical banded gastroplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces the volume of the stomach in order to produce weight loss. In a recent study, 82 patients with Type 2 diabetes underwent this procedure, and 59 of them experienced a recovery from diabetes. Does this study provide convincing evidence that the percentage of those with diabetes who undergo this surgery will recover from diabetes differs from 74%? State the null and alternate hypotheses and use the α=0.05 level of significance and the critical value method

In a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a sample of 546 boys aged 6–11 was weighed, and it was determined that 87 of them were overweight. A sample of 508 girls aged 6–11 was also weighed, and 74 of them were overweight. Can you conclude that the proportion of boys who are overweight differs from the proportion of girls who are overweight? Please show calcul
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a significant health problem. TBI is caused by impacts to the head that might occurduring contact sports, motor vehicle accidents, and similar events. TBI is known to produce cognitive impairments and reductions in brain volume. In a recent, repeated-measures study on TBI, Zagorchev et al.(2016) observed that the size of the amygdala among mild TBI patients was reduced at 12 months after injury, relative to two months after injury. Suppose that a researcher is interested in replicating and extending this observation. She recruits n=8 participants with mild TBI and records the volume of a brain region at 2 months and again and again at 12 months. Her data are listed below a.) Test the hypothesis that volume of the brain region changed between 2 & 12 months. Use α=0.05, two-tailed b.) Compute the 80% confidence interval for the mean change in attention span for the population
In an observational study it was found that people who had received the flu shot this year had better blood pressure readings, on average, than people who did not. Can it be claimed that the flu shot is the cause of the lower overall blood pressure? Why or why not?
Left ventricular mass (LVM) is an important risk factor for subsequentcardiovascular disease. A study is conducted to assess the relationship between the size of LVM in children (as determined from an echocardiogram) and the size of LVM four years later in the same individuals. Does LVM change over time in children? Completely conduct the appropriate hypothesis and list any additional necessary assumptions (you can assume that additional assumptions are met by the data) test with alpha =0.01. i Baseline LVM LVM 4 years later 1 134 126 2 86 142 3 78 111 4 73 82
Researchers developed a new method of voice recognition that was thought to be an improvement over an existing method. The data available below are based on results of their research. Does the evidence suggest that the new method has a different proportion of errors than the existing method? Use the α=0.01 level of significance.
A clinical trial is planned to compare an experimental medication designed to lower blood pressure to a pla- cebo. Before starting the trial, a pilot study is conducted involving seven participants. The objective of the study is to assess how systolic blood pressure (SBP) changes over time if left untreated. SBP is measured at baseline and again 4 weeks later. Is there a statistically significant difference in SBP over time? Run the test at a 5% level of significance.

A randomized prospective study is conducted to estimate the association between taking a drug and remission for patients with a specific type of cancer. The estimated incidence rate ratio of remission for the treatment group relative to the placebo is 1.35. What is the proper interpretation of this value? An individual (from the same cancer population) who does not take the drug is 35% less likely to go into remission as compared to an individual who has taken the drug. O In a random sample of 1,000 persons from the same cancer population, there would be 350 more remissions if these 1,000 persons took the drug as compared to if they did not take the drug. O An individual (from the same cancer population) who takes the drug is 35% more likely to go into remission as compared to an individual who has not taken the drug. O In a random sample of 1,000 persons from the same cancer population, there would be 650 less remissions if these 1,000 persons took the drug as compared to if they did…

Vertical banded gastroplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces the volume of the stomach in order to produce weight loss. In a recent study, 82 patients with Type 2 diabetes underwent this procedure, and 59 of them experienced a recovery from diabetes. Does this study provide convincing evidence that more than 60% of those with diabetes who undergo this surgery will recover from diabetes? Use a 5% level significance.
(True or False) A clinical trial is conducted to compare an experimental medication to placebo to reduce the symptoms of asthma. Two hundred participants are enrolled in the study and randomized to receive either the experimental medication or placebo. The primary outcome is self-reported reduction of symptoms. Among 50 participants who receive the experimental medication, 30 report a reduction of symptoms as compared to 15 participants of 50 assigned to the placebo. The 95% CI for the relative risk of participants reporting a reduction of symptoms between the experimental and placebo groups is between 1.529 and 8.012.
