Chapter 11, Problem 70CR
As part of a study to determine the effects of allowing the use of credit cards for alcohol purchases in Canada (“Changes in Alcohol Consumption Patterns Following the Introduction of Credit Cards in Ontario Liquor Stores,” Journal of Studies on Alcohol [1999]: 378–382), randomly selected individuals were given a questionnaire asking them how many drinks they had consumed during the previous week. A year later (after liquor stores started accepting credit cards for purchases), these same individuals were again asked how many drinks they had consumed in the previous week. The values in the accompanying table are consistent with summary values presented in the article.
- a. The standard deviations of the differences were quite large. Explain how this could be the case.
- b. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the
mean difference in drink consumption for credit-card shoppers between 1994 and 1995. Is there evidence that the mean number of drinks decreased? - c. Test the hypothesis that there was no change in the mean number of drinks between 1994 and 1995 for the non-credit-card shoppers. Be sure to calculate and interpret the P-value for this test.

Car Window Skin Cancer? A study suggests that exposure to UV rays through the car
window may increase the risk of skin cancer. The study reviewed the records of all 1050 skin
cancer patients referred to the St. Louis University Cancer Center in 2004. Of the 42 patients
with melanoma, the cancer occurred on the left side of the body in 31 patients and on the
right side in the other 11.
A. Is this an experiment or an observational study?
B. Of the patients with melanoma, what proportion had the cancer on the left side?
Show what numbers you divide and give answer to 3 decimal places.
C. A bootstrap 95% confidence interval for the proportion of melanomas occurring on the
left is 0.579 to 0.861. Clearly interpret the confidence interval in the context of the
problem.
D. Suppose the question of interest is whether melanomas are more likely to occur on the
left side than on the right. That is, are over 50% of melanomas on the left side?
Ho: p = 0.5
Ha: p > 0.5

A magazine reported on the "... treatment-emergent adverse events that occurred in 2% or more patients treated with a new medicine and with incidence greater than placebo in the treatment of depression, OCD, or bulimia." In the study, patients took the new medicine and patients were given placebo. Identify the a. treatment group, b. control group, and c. treatments.
A study prospectively examined whether sleep-disordered breathing was associated with an increased
risk of death from any cause in a cohort of 600 adults participating in the Sleep Heart Health Study.
Study participants were classified into four groups depending on the extent of their sleep-disordered
breathing (none, mild, moderate, or severe). The counts of deaths over the course of the study are
reported for each group in the following two-way table.

- As part of a long-term study of individuals 65 years of age or older, sociologists and physicians at the Wentworth Medical Center in upstate New York investigated the relationship between geographic location and depression. A sample of 60 individuals, all in reasonably good health, was selected; 20 individuals were residents of Florida, 20 were residents of New York, and 20 were residents of North Carolina. Each of the individuals sampled was given a standardized test to measure depression. Higher test scores indicate higher levels of depression. A second part of the study considered the relationship between geographic location and depression for individuals 65 years of age or older who had a chronic health condition such as arthritis, hypertension, and/or heart ailment. A sample of 60 individuals with such conditions was identified. Again, 20 were residents of Florida, 20 were residents of New York, and 20 were residents of North Carolina.

The target for quitting smoking was the 8th day of the experiment. In this experiment researchers randomly assigned smokers to treatments. The following is an excerpt from this same study. “ A total of 311 subjects (34.8 percent) discontinued one or both medications. Seventy-nine subjects stopped treatment because of adverse events: 6 in the placebo group (3.8 percent), 16 in the nicotine-patch group (6.6 percent), 29 in the bupropion group (11.9 percent), and 28 in the combined treatment group (11.4 percent). The most common adverse events were insomnia and headache.” Recall that 160 smokers took the placebo and 244 smokers used nicotine patches.

A parent advisory board for a certain university was concerned about the effect of part-time jobs on the academic achievement of students attending the university. To obtain some information, the advisory board surveyed a simple random sample of 200 of the more than 20,000 students attending the university. Each student reported the average number of hours spent working part-time each week and his or her perception of the effect of part-time work on academic achievement. The data in the table below summarize the students' responses by average number of hours worked per week (less than 11, 11 to 20, more than 20) and perception of the effect of part-time work on academic achievement (positive, no effect, negative).

Suppose that we wish to use the study results to justify the claim that fewer than 20 percent of parents who own TV sets with V-chips use the devices. The study actually found that 17 percent of the parents polled used their V-chips. If the poll surveyed 1,000 parents, and if for the sake of argument we assume that 20 percent of parents who own V-chips actually use the devices (that is, p = .2), calculate the probability of observing a sample proportion of .17 or less. That is, calculate ?(?≤.17).b. Based on the probability you computed in part a, would you conclude that fewer than 20 percent of parents who own TV sets…arrow_forward
