Effects of Light Exposure (Example 9) A study carried out by Baturin and colleagues looked at the effects of light on female mice. Fifty mice were randomly assigned to a regimen of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark (LD), while another fifty mice were assigned to 24 hours of light (LL). Researchers observed the mice for two year, beginning when the mice were two months old. Four of the LD mice and 14 of the LL mice developed tumors. The accompanying table summarizes the data.
a. Determine the percentage of mice that developed tumors from each group (LL and LD). Compare them and comment.
b. Was this a controlled experiment or an observational study? How do you know?
c. Can we conclude that light for 24 hours a day causes an increase in tumors in mice? Why or why not?

- You are concerned that nausea may be a side effect of Tamiflu, but you cannot just give Tamiflu to patients with the flu and say that nausea is a side effect if people become nauseous. This is because nausea is common for people who have the flu. From past studies you know that about 35% of people who get the flu experience nausea. You collected data on 1855 patients who were taking Tamiflu to relieve symtoms of the flu, and found that 705 experienced nausea. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of people who take Tamiflu for the relief of flu symtoms and experience nausea is greater than 35%. Calculate your test statistic (use ˆpp^ rounded to 4 decimal places). Round your test statistic to 4 decimal places. Calculate your p-value and round to 4 decimal places.arrow_forwardYou are concerned that nausea may be a side effect of Tamiflu, but you cannot just give Tamiflu to patients with the flu and say that nausea is a side effect if people become nauseous.

Match the study to experimental or observational. Find 100 women age 20 who do not currently smoke. Randomly assign 50 of the 100 women to the smoking treatment and the other 50 to the no smoking treatment. Those in the smoking group smoke a pack a day for 10 years while those in the control group remain smoke free for 10 years. Measure lung capacity for each of the 100 women. Find 100 women age 30 of which 50 have been smoking a pack a day for 10 years while the other 50 have been smoke free for 10 years. Measure lung capacity for each of the 100 women.

Generally, the systolic blood pressure depends on the BMI of a person (B) and the age of the person A. She wants to test whether or not the BMI has a significant effect on the systolic blood pressure, keeping the age of the person constant. For her study, she collects a random sample of 150 patients from the city and estimates the following regression function: Y= 15.50 +0.90B + 1.10A.

(2020) investigated various aspects of immunological responses in captive and free-ranging zebras. One aspect of the study involved samples of 12 free-ranging zebras from Namibia, 9 from Tanzania, and 38 captive zebras from various zoos in Europe. (All of these were non-lactating females.) One of the measured variables from blood samples was lysozyme concentration (μg/L). (Lysozyme is a biomarker of the immune response.) The researchers were interested in investigating possible differences in lysozyme concentration between zebras in the various locations. As part of the analysis, they carried out a one-way ANOVA on the lysozyme concentrations for the zebras from the 3 locations, and found the following output.
