In Exercises 5–18, test the given claim.
15. Clinical Trial of Echinacea In a clinical trial of the effectiveness of echinacea for preventing colds, the results in the table below were obtained (based on data from “An Evaluation of Echinacea Angustifolia in Experimental Rhinovirus Infections,” by Turner et al., New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 353, No. 4). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that getting a cold is independent of the treatment group. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of echinacea as a prevention against colds?

Two different tests previously developed to measure stress in industrial workers are selected: stress test alpha and stress test delta. The sensitivity and specificity of each test are shown below. Which test generates the greatest proportion of false negatives?
Stress Test Alpha Stress Test Delta
Sensitivity = 60% 75%
M Specificity = 95% 90%
Stress Test Alpha
Stress Test Delta

Coronavirus is the most dangerous specially in adults where the mortality is high.
In a case control study of this disease ,the children of adults were asked to fill in the questions in case the patient was deceased or could not fill in himself
The controls were people who lived in the same area as the cases .only 64% of potential controls participated in thr study .
Explain how this can create bias in the results
Specificity of the association is best described as
A. when the value of the response variable changes in a meaningful way with the dosage of the suspected cause.
B. when the suspected cause precedes the response variable.
C. when similar studies produce similar results.
D. when all other possible causes are ruled out.
