Question
An observational study study was conducted to investigate the smoking behaviours of male and female patients with a history of coronary heart disease. among 220 men surveyed , 80 were smokers. Among 190 women surveyed, 95 were smokers.
(a) Estimate the odd ratio of smoking for male versus female patients with a history of coronary heart disease.
(b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the odd ratio.
(c) Based on (a) and (b), should we reject H0 : OR = 1 in favour of Ha : OR 6= 1?

- One scientist wondered if there was a difference in the average daily intake of dairy products between men and women. He took a sample of n1 = 50 adult men and n2 = 50 adult women and recorded their daily intake of dairy products in grams per day. A summary of the sample results is presented in the table. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the average daily intake of dairy products for men and women.

- A study would like to investigate the risk of lung cancer in url. area and rural area. Assume the proportion of urban residents with lung cancer is p1, and the proportion of rural area residents with lung cancer is p2. If it is found that 20 of 200 adults in an urban community have lung cancer and 10 of 150 adults in the rural community have lung cancer. Find the 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions. Would you conclude that p1 is greater than p2? Select all correct answers. O "O" is not in the interval (C.I) O Yes, we can conclude p1 is greater than p2. O "0.1" is in the interval (C.I) O "O" is in the interval (C.I) Not enough information is given.

Given this, a group of public health consultants are interested in identifying risk factors for chronic liver disease among 72 men. They found that compared to men without hepatitis B, the relative risk of chronic liver disease among those with hepatitis B was 1.24 and the 95% confidence interval was 0.94–1.54.
