On September 10, 2020 a survey of 24,000 residents in nursing homes between 75 and 90 years old in a western state revealed that there were 145 cases of Covid-19. The total population of the western state is 125,000. What is the prevalence of Covid-19 in nursing homes per 1,000 residents?

Between 1918 and 1920 a disturbingly deadly outbreak of influenza (flu) tore across the globe infecting the third of the world's population. Of the 500 million people infected, the mortality rate was estimated to be about 20%. This World Health Organization (WHO) reported that as of 5:05 pm Central European Summer Time (CEST), on October 25, 2020, there have been 42,512,186 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the world, year, including 1,147,310 deaths. Is it safe to state that COVID-19 did not yet reached the mortality rate of 1918 flu pandemic as of August 12, 2020? a. State the null and the alternative hypotheses b. Show calculations and state whether or not the null hypothesis is rejected. c. State your conclusion addressing the original claim.
In a survey of recent attendees at a Wedding with no Mask or Social distance during the Covid pandemic, if a person is mildly sick, there is a 48% chance he or she has Covid-19, if a person shows no symptoms, there is a 12% chance he or she has Covid-19 and if a person is badly sick, there is a 72% chance he or she has Covid-19. Of the persons surveyed, 20% were mildly sick, 60% showed no symptoms and 20% were badly sick. What is the probability a randomly selected person has Covid-19? Given that the Person has Covid -19, What is the probability that he or she is badly sick Select one: a. 0.6000, 0.30 b. 0.0960, 0.50 c. 0.1440, 0.25 d. 0.3120, 0.4615
Bayes' rule can be used to identify and filter spam emails and text messages.In this collection, 747 of the 5574 total messages (13.40%) are identified as spam. The word “free” is contained in 4.75% of all messages, and 3.57% of all messages both contain the word “free” and are marked as spam. The word “text” (or “txt”) is contained in 7.01% of all messages, and in 38.55% of all spam messages. Of all spam messages, 17.00% contain both the word “free” and the word “text” (or “txt”). Of all non-spam messages, 0.06% contain both the word “free” and the word “text” (or “txt”) . Given that a message contains the word “free” but does NOT contain the word “text” (or “txt”), what is the probability that it is spam?
A recent PwC survey of 1,379 CEOs from a wide range of industries representing a mix of company sizes from Asia, Europe, and the Americas indicated that CEOs are firmly convinced that it is harder to gain and retain people's trust in an increasingly digitalized world (pwc.to/2jFLzjF). Fifty-eight percent of CEOs are worried that lack of trust in business would harm their company's growth. Which risks arising from connectivity concern CEOs most? Eighty-seven percent believe that social media could have a negative impact on the level of trust in their industry over the next few years. But they also say new dangers are emerging and old ones are getting worse as new technologies and new uses of existing technologies increase rapidly. CEOs are particularly anxious about breaches in data security and ethics and IT outages and disruptions. A vast majority of CEOs are already taking steps to address these concerns, with larger-sized companies doing more than smaller-sized companies. a.…

Each year, more than 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 have launched studies of drug-resistant gonorrhea.† Suppose that, of 189 cases tested in a certain state, 12 were found to be drug-resistant. Suppose also that, of 429 cases tested in another state, 8 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. (Let p1 = the population proportion of drug-resistant cases in the first state, and let p2 = the population proportion of drug resistant cases in the second state.) State the null and alternative hypotheses. (Enter != for ≠ as needed.) H0: ______ Ha: ______ Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) = What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) p-value =…
In a small town in New York, we initiated a cohort study and followed 5,900 people for a mean follow-up of 2 years. At the end of the 2nd year, none of the participants was lost to follow-up. During this follow-up, we identified 600 cases of Covid-19. What was the cumulative incidence? O 10 cases O 10.1% O 50.8% O 10.1 per 1,000
Researchers are interested in determining if there is a difference in the proportion of women who choose the different types of treatments for those diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DIS) breast cancer, which is a form of breast cancer that occurs in the Breast Ducts and has not spread. Following a diagnoses of DCIS, women can choose between three different treatment plans: a mastectomy or a lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy or a lumpectomy followed by Adjuvant Endocrine therapy. A random sample of 500 women diagnosed with DCIS breast cancer was obtained. Of the 500 women, 190 chose to have a mastectomy, 150 chose to have a lumpectomy followed by radiation, and 160 chose to have a lumpectomy followed by Adjuvant Endocrine therapy. At the 1% significance level, what conclusion can be reached?
Although an increasing share of Americans are reading e-books on tablets and smartphones rather than dedicated e-readers, print books continue to be much more popular than books in digital format (digital format includes both e-books and audio books). A Pew Research Center survey of 1502 adults nationwide conducted January 8-February 7, 2019, found that 1081 of those surveyed had read a book in either print or digital format in the preceding 12 months. (You may regard the 1081 adults in the survey who had read a book in the preceding 12 months as a random sample of readers.) Andrew Perrin, "One-in-five Americans now listen to audiobooks," September 25, 2019 at www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/09/25/one-in-five-americans- now-listen-to-audiobooks/. The sampling scheme was more complex than an SRS, so the computation of the number in the sample who have read in the preceding 12 months and acting as if it were an SRS is oversimplified Macmillan Learning STATE: What can you say with 95%…
A study was conducted about the safety and privacy of teens online presence. A random sample of 593 teenagers were asked if they felt that they were easy to find online from their Facebook profiles. Sixty-two girls of 325 teen girls with profiles say that they are easy to find, while 75 boys of 268 teen boys with profiles say the same. Is there evidence of a real difference between boys and girls?
In 2001, the polls found that 81% of American adults believed that there was a conspiracy in the death of President Kennedy. Assume a recent poll asked 1160 American adults if they believe there was a conspiracy in the assassination and it found that 897 believe there was a conspiracy. Does the data show that the proportion of Americans who believe in this conspiracy is now lower? Test at the 9% level. What is the correct parameter symbol for this problem? What is the wording of the parameter in the context of this problem? Fill in the correct null and alternative hypotheses:
