Because there were only a few cases, the epidemiologist decided to conduct a matched case-control study to determine whether shoe size larger than 9 is a risk factor for big toe cancer. Cases were individually matched to one control for daily activity, history of athlete’s foot, and history of ingrown toenails. The following data were gathered: Shoe size > 9 Pair Case Control 1 Yes No 2 No No 3 No Yes 4 Yes Yes 5 No Yes Compute the proper measure of association. Interpret your results.

- Adults randomly selected for a poll were asked if they "favor or oppose using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos." Of the subjects surveyed, 317 were in favor, 329 were opposed, and 99 were unsure. A politician claims that people don't really understand the stem cell issue and their responses to such questions are random responses equivalent to a coin flip. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of subjects who respond in favor is equal to 0.5. Find the null and alternative hypothesis. H0: p>0.5 p≠0.5 p<0.5 p=0.5 H1: p=0.5 p<0.5 p≠0.5 p>0.5 If we consider + to represent those in favor, then how many of each sign is there? Positive Signs: Negative Signs: Total Signs: What is the p-value? (Round to three decimal places.) What is the conclusion about the null?

You believe that this is incorrect and decide to collect your own sample for a hypothesis test. From a random sample of 321 25 year olds, you find that 143 of them are married. Test the claim that proportion of 25 year olds have gotten married is different than what was reported. Use a 5% significance level. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places. What are the correct hypotheses? (Select the correct symbols and use decimal values not percentages.)

- Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?arrow_forwardMany years ago, the M&M Mars Company claimed 0.3 of all M&Ms were red, 0.25 were green, 0.2 were brown, 0.15 were yellow, and the rest were orange. To test the company’s claim, you select a bag of M&Ms from the store shelf at random. If the calculated value for the associated test statistic equals 8.43279 and the level of significance equals 0.10 is the company claim resonable or unresonablearrow_forwardConsider a drug that is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials, among 6073 patients treated with this drug, 160 developed the adverse reaction of nausea. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that 3% of users develop nausea. Does nausea appear to be a problematic adverse reaction? Find the test statistic and the P valuearrow_forward
