Question
Risk and odds ratios 1/7: Patients immobilized for a substantial amount of time can develop deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot in a leg or pelvis vein. DVT can have serious adverse health effects and can be difficult to diagnose. On its website, drug manufacturer Pfizer reports the outcome of a study looking at the effectiveness of the drug Fragmin (dalteparin) in preventing DVT in immobilized patients. Of the 1518 randomly chosen immobilized patients given Fragmin, 42 experienced a complication from DVT. Of the 1473 randomly chosen immobilized patients given a placebo, 73 experienced a complication from DVT.
Compute the proportion (risk) of patients experiencing DVT complications for immobilized patients treated with Fragmin. (Enter the proportion with 4 decimal places. DO NOT enter the percent.)
Compute the proportion (risk) of patients experiencing DVT complications for immobilized patients treated with a placebo. (Enter the proportion with 4 decimal places. DO NOT enter the percent.)

- A 5-year study among 601 participants with retinitis pigmentosa assessed the effects of high-dose vitamin A (15,000 IU per day) and vitamin E (400 IU per day) on the course of their disease. One issue is to what extent supplementation with vitamin A affected their serum-retinol levels. The test used to analyze the effects of vitamins assumes that the distribution of serum retinol is approximately normal. To verify this assumption, the investigators obtained a frequency distribution of serum retinol at year O among males in the vitamin A group, with data as shown in the table below. The mean serum retinol for the group was 1.89 and the standard deviation was 0.36. n Serum- retinol group (μmol/L) ≤1.405 6 1.405-1.755 22 1.755-2.105 22 2.105-2.455 20 ≥2.455 3 1.

A statistics class tested this claim by having students identify their blood types. In a sample of 64 students, 26 indicated their blood type to be type O.

- Serum estradiol is an important risk factor for breast cancer in postmenopausal women. To better understand the etiology of breast cancer, serum-estradiol samples were collected from 25 premenopausal women (at about the same time period of the menstrual cycle) of whom 10 were Caucasian and 15 were African American. The data are shown in Table 7.3. The distribution of serum estradiol is usually highly skewed (especially for premenopausal women), and we are reluctant to assume normality.

In individuals with this syndrome, cardiovascular disease is a common cause of death in the teenage years. A clinical study examined the effect of treatment with the drug lonafarnib on a number of physiological outcomes. The researchers measured the pulse wave velocity (PWV) of 18 children diagnosed with progeria and recruited worldwide. The study reports that the mean PWV of 18 children diagnosed with progeria is 12.44 m/s, and the standard deviation is 3.638 m/s. Assuming that PWV is normally distributed, is there significant evidence that the mean PWV of children with progeria is abnormally high (i.e. greater than 6.6 m/s)? Let � (pronounced as "mu") be the true mean PWV of children with progeria. What are the two competing hypotheses? ["", "", "", ""] What is the test statistic? ["", "", "", ""] What is the p value?
