The mean birthweight of an infant is thought to be associated with the smoking status of the mother during the first trimester of the pregnancy. Consider the following data from mothers divided into four categories according to smoking habits, and the corresponding birthweights of their children. Group 1: Mother is a non smoker (NON): 7.5, 6.2, 6.9, 7.4, 9.2, 8.3, 7.6 Group 2: Mother is an ex-smoker (EX): 5.8, 7.3, 8.2, 7.1, 7.8 Group 3: Mother is a current smoker, smokes less than 1 pack per day (CUR < 1) 5.9, 6.2, 5.8, 4.7, 8.3, 7.2, 6.2 Group 4: Mother is a current smoker, smokes more than or equal to 1 pack per day (Cur ≥ 1) 6.2, 6.8, 5.7, 4.9, 6.2, 7.1, 5.8, 5.4 Using Stata test whether or not the mean birthweights are equal across all four groups at the alpha = 0.05 level. What is the corresponding p-value? O 0.0284 0.0137 O 0.05 O 0.737

When selecting measures of association and the two variables of interest are measured at different levels of measurement, social scientists generally choose which measure?

A graduating class reported starting salaries represented on the following frequency table.               Number of students                     Starting Salary ($)                         10                                            15,000                         17                                            20,000             25                                            25,000             38                                            30,000             27                                            35,000             21                                            40,000             45,000   For the data in the table above, what is the MEAN?

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. The increasing annual cost (including tuition, room, board, books, and fees) to attend college has been widely discussed (Time.com). The following random samples show the annual cost of attending private and public colleges. Data are in thousands of dollars. Private Colleges Public Colleges 52.8 44.2 45.0 33.3 44.0 20.3 22.0 28.2 15.6 24.1 28.5 31.6 44.8 36.8 50.5 43.0 22.8 25.8 18.5 25.6 14.4 21.8 (a) Compute the sample mean (in thousand dollars) and sample standard deviation (in thousand dollars) for private colleges.

The absolute measure of association for a case-control study is the odds ratio. Justify your answer.

On occasion, medical studies need to model the proportion of the population that has a disease and compare that to observed frequencies of the disease actually occurring. Suppose the end-stage renal failure in south-west Wales was collected for different age groups. Do the data in the table show that the observed frequencies are in agreement with proportion of people in each age group? Test at the 1% level. Renal Failure Frequencies Age group 16-29 30-44 45-59 60-74 75+ Total Observed Frequencies 125 152 134 124 48 583 Expected Proportion 0.23 0.25 0.22 0.21 0.09   State the hypotheses.H0: The observed frequencies     in agreement with proportion of people in each age group.Ha: The observed frequencies     in agreement with proportion of people in each age group.
