Question
Take for instance, the slow gait speed and the first category of activities associated with indoor falls. The point estimate of the RR is 2.44. Informally this means that when a person with a slow gait speed is transitioning/not moving, they are about 2.44 times more likely to fall than when a person with middle gait speed is transitioning/not moving. The confidence
-
- Look over the other categories of activities associated with indoor falls. Does any other category appear to be significantly different for slow speed than for a middle speed? Explain why or why not.
- Repeat part a, but compare fast speed to middle speed.
Repeat parts a and b, but look at outdoor falls

A student project investigated this effect by asking 25 right handed students to turn a knob with their right hands that moved an indicator by screw action. There were two identical instruments, one with a right-hand thread and the other with a left-hand thread. The table given has the data from the student project.1. Calculate and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean time advantage of right hand over left hand threads in the setting above.arrow_forward
- first picture is the background informationarrow_forwardRefer to Exercise 7. Someone suggests that the paired design be replaced with a design in which 18 cars are sampled, the lifetime of the front brakes is measured on 9 of them, and the lifetime of the rear brakes is measured on the other 9. A confidence interval for the difference between the means would then be constructed by using expression (5.21) (in Section 5.6). He claims that this design will produce a more precise confidence interval, since 18 cars will be used instead of 9. a) Will the new design produce a valid confidence interval? Explain. b) Is it likely that the confidence interval produced by the new design will be more precise than, less precise than, or about equally precise as the confidence interval produced by the paired design? Explain.arrow_forwardAccording to a poll, 82% of California adults (417 out of 506 surveyed) feel that education is one of the top issues facing California.
