Passive exposure to environmental tobacco smoke has been associated with growth suppression and
an increased frequency of respiratory tract infections in normal children. Is this association more
pronounced in children with cystic fibrosis? To answer this question, 43 children (18 girls and 25
boys) attending a 2-week summer camp for cystic fibrosis patients were studied (New England Journal
of Medicine, Sept. 20, 1990). Among several variables measured were the child's weight percentile
(y) and the number of cigarettes smoked per day in the child's home (x).
a. For the 18 girls, the coefficient of correlation between y and x was reported as r = –.50. Interpret

Patients suffering from rheumatic diseases or osteoporosis often suffer critical losses in bone mineral density (BMD). Alendronate is one medication prescribed to build or prevent further loss of BMD. Holcomb and Rothenberg (A-3) looked at 96 women taking alendronate to determine if a difference existed in the mean percent change in BMD among five different primary diagnosis classifications. Group 1 patients were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Group 2 patients were a mixed collection of patients with diseases including lupus, Wegener’s granulomatosis and polyarteritis, and other vasculitic diseases (LUPUS). Group 3 patients had polymyalgia rheumatica or temporal arthritis (PMRTA). Group 4 patients had osteoarthritis (OA) and group 5 patients had osteoporosis (O) with no other rheumatic diseases identified in the medical record. Changes in BMD are shown in the following table.

A researcher interested in evaluating environment friendly behaviors evaluated how often people recycle (per month) based on whether they have an overall optimistic or an overall pessimistic attitude toward eco-friendly behaviors. The results from this hypothetical study are given in the table. Test whether or not recycling behaviors differed between groups using a .05 level of significance.

- Female college student participation in athletics has increased dramatically over the past few decades. Sports medicine providers are aware of some unique health concerns of athletic women, including disordered eating. A study compared disordered-eating symptoms and their causes for collegiate female athletes (in lean and non lean sports) and nonathletes. The sample mean of the body dissatisfaction assessment score was 13.4 (s=7.9) for 15 lean sports athletes (those sports that place value on leanness, including distance running, swimming, and gymnastics) and 7.4 (s=5.8) for the 67 non-lean athletes. Assume equal population standard deviations. Find the standard error for comparing the means. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean body dissatisfaction for lean sport athletes and non lean sport athletes.

Participants in an experiment were in a group that either watched an entire t.v. series during daily one-hour sessions or watched all the episodes during a single binge session. Participants were asked to rate their enjoyment of the t.v. series on a scale of 0-100. Data like those observed by the author are listed below.

- Social Media Use and ADHD. Exercise 2.23 introduces a study examining whether frequent use of digital social media by teens is associated with subsequent development of ADHD symptoms. Researchers rated the frequency of social media use as High or Low for each teen. Two years later, they recorded whether or not ADHD symptoms had been diagnosed. The results are shown in the table below. Use StatKey or other technology to test whether the proportion of teens being diagnosed with ADHD is higher for teens with a high frequency of social media use than for those with a low frequency. Show all details of the test. Let Group 1 represent the teens with high social media use and Group 2 represent those with low social media use. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

The total time (in minutes) a subject spent on the Trail Making Test (a standard psychological test) was used as a measure of cognitive function. The researchers theorize that the mean time on the Trail Making Test for schizophrenics will be larger than the corresponding mean for normal subjects. The data for independent random samples of 41 schizophrenics and 49 normal individuals yielded the following results: ***PHOTO Does the data provide significant evidence, at the 4.6% level, that the population mean time for patients diagnosed with schizophrenia exceeds the population mean time for normal individuals by more than 20 points?arrow_forward
