Question
A 30-year study was conducted with nearly 90,000 female participants.8 During a 5-year screening period, each woman was randomized to one of two groups: in the first group, women received regular mammograms to screen for breast cancer, and in the second group, women received regular non-mammogram breast cancer exams. No intervention was made during the following 25 years of the study, and we’ll consider death resulting from breast cancer over the full 30-year period. Results from the study are summarized in the table. If mammograms are much more effective than non-mammogram breast cancer exams, then we would expect to see additional deaths from breast cancer in the control group. On the other hand, if mammograms are not as effective as regular breast cancer exams, we would expect to see an increase in breast cancer deaths in the mammogram group.
| yes | no | |
| mammogram | 500 | 44,425 |
| control | 505 | 44,405 |
a.)Is this study an experiment or an observational study?
b) Set up hypotheses to test whether there was a difference in breast cancer deaths in the mammogram and control groups.

- Migraine and Acupuncture: A migraine is a particularly painful type of headache, which patients sometimes wish to treat with acupuncture. To determine whether acupuncture relieves migraine pain, researchers conducted a randomized controlled study where 155 patients diagnosed with migraine headaches were randomly assigned to one of two groups: treatment or control. 68 patients in the treatment group received acupuncture that is specifically designed to treat migraines. 87 patients in the control group received placebo acupuncture (needle insertion at non-acupoint locations). 24 hours after patients received acupuncture, they were asked if they were pain free. Results are summarized in the contingency table below. Test to see if migraine pain relief is dependent on receiving acupuncture. Use a = 0.01.

The study population consisted of HIV-infected women in sub-Saharan Africa who had been given single dose Nevaripine (a treatment for HIV) while giving birth, to prevent transmission of HIV to the infant. The study was a randomized comparison of continued treatment of the woman (after successful childbirth) with Nevaripine vs. Lopinavir, a second drug used to treat HIV. 240 women participated in the study; 120 were randomized to each of the two treatments. Twenty-four weeks after starting the study treatment, each woman was tested to determine if the HIV infection was becoming worse (an outcome called virologic failure). Twenty-six of the 120 women treated with Nevaripine experienced virologic failure, while 1o of the 120 women treated with the other drug experienced virologic failure. a) State appropriate hypotheses to test for independence of…arrow_forwardA researcher is creating a new treatment protocol for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a form of preleukemia. Following the old treatment protocol, 28% of patients with MDS will develop leukemia within 5 years of MDS diagnosis. He believes his new treatment protocol will lead to fewer MDS patients developing leukemia. He takes a random sample of 100 individuals on his new treatment protocol. Of these 100 individuals, 20 develop leukemia within 5 years of MDS diagnosis. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 10% level to test this claim that his new treatment protocol will lead to fewer MDS patients developing leukemia.

- Imagine you are a statistical consultant and your client, a weightlifting supplement company, is looking to see if their product is effective in increasing muscle mass gained over a training cycle. You randomly sampled 20 female weightlifters and assigned them to take the supplement and 20 to take a placebo. You have both groups run the same controlled training program over 12 weeks and calculated their whole body lean mass difference in pounds from the beginning to the end of the program. Can you infer that the supplement group gained more muscle mass on average than the placebo group? Use a = 0.05 for any hypothesis test. પ્રમ 1) State the research question in one sentence and use the question to determine the parameter we are using to conduct statistical inference.

Researchers randomly divided 500 volunteers into two equal-sized groups. One group spent 6 months on the Paleo diet. The other group received a pamphlet about controlling portion sizes. Randomized treatment assignment was performed, and at the beginning of the study, the average difference in weights between the two groups was about 0 pounds. After the study, the Paleo group had lost an average of 7.6 pounds with a standard deviation of 20.75 pounds while the control group had lost an average of 5.8 pounds with a standard deviation of 12.5 pounds.
