A universal childcare program was introduced in London in the early 2000s. Comparing the years before and after the implementation of the policy, the employment rate for mothers of children under 5 in London increased from 40 percent to 60 percent. What assumption we need for the difference in employment rates for mothers of children under 5 in London to be a causal estimate of the impact of the policy?

What do you mean by the impact multiplier or impact propensity? How is it different from the long-run propensity (LRP)? Discuss with an appropriate example of the distributive lag model.

Suppose researchers at an abdominal transplant clinic are concerned about the rate of graft loss due to diabetes status prior to receiving a donor kidney. Research has shown that gender discordance, or receiving a gender from a donor of an opposite gender may increase the risk of both exposure and outcome after transplant. Assume the following tables represent the stratified analysis of the potential confounding variable. (9 points)   Gender Discordance Graft Failure No Graft Failure Total Diabetes II 23 10 33 No Diabetes II 4 44 48 Total 27 54 81 Gender Concordance Graft Failure No Graft Failure Total Diabetes II 9 34 43 No Diabetes II 12 87 99 Total 21 121 142   A)  Calculate the stratum specific estimates for the odds ratios in each strata. B)  Observe the difference in the odds ratios. Based on observation alone, what are we likely to conclude regarding the relationship between outcome and exposure…

Prepare the development for an essay on THE IMPLICATION OF THE FUTURE OF STATISTICAL EDUCATION AT THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL.

In recent years there has been considerable controversy over the use of standardized testing of high school students. Supporters say that the practice is a good measure of both student progress and teacher performance. Opponents say that too much testing impedes learning and causes unnecessarily large expenses for the school districts. There are even reports that a significant number of high school students opt out of taking some of the standardized tests. In one large city where the school district reported that the average score on a national test taken by students in their junior year was 74, a large group of parents felt that this average was too low. The parents contracted a research company in an attempt to show that the average score was higher than the claimed average of 74. The research company took a random sample of 100 juniors and they collected the corresponding 100 exam scores for those students. - what hypotheses is most appropriate to deal with the problem above. - What…

Estimating income tax based on dividends is also not​ straightforward, due in part to​ Australia’s franking credit scheme.​ Mike is looking to simplify total annual tax projections for a share portfolio based simply on the share​ portfolio's current value. To do​ this, he wishes to determine if there is any statistically significant linear relationship between the two.   Mike has randomly sampled 30 individuals with share portfolios over​ AUD$100,000 and mapped the assessed value of the portfolio​ (in AUD​ $1000) to the total taxes paid on that amount​ (in AUD$1). ​ Mike's data is in the table below.   Assessed Value Taxes 426.1 5014 368.8 3698 309.8 3691 373.9 5189 445.7 4455 505.1 5189 342.3 3416 343.6 3931 432.3 4393 329.2 3267 291.2 2871 399.3 4013 392.7 4728 482.2 4885 480.6 4888 390.8 3917 371.6 3738 311.9 3098 343.7 3633 304.7 3538 274.6 3427 457.1 4633 231.5 4009 450.5 4565 510.1 5946 308.4 3045 348.8 3504 410.4 3375…

Check My Work (5 remaining) Each year, over 2 million people in the United States become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. In particular, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention has launched studies of drug-resistant gonorrhea (CDC.gov website). Of 142 cases tested in Alabama, 9 were found to be drug-resistant. Of 268 cases tested in Texas, 5 were found to be drug-resistant. Do these data suggest a statistically significant difference between the proportions of drug- resistant cases in the two states? Use a 0.02 level of significance. What is the p-value, and what is your conclusion? Test statistic = (to 2 decimals) p-value = (to 4 decimals) Conclusion: Reject the null hypothesis Choose the correct option. There is a significant difference in drug resistance between the two states. Alabama has the higher drug resistance rate. True
