Title of the article: After Menopause, Weight Affects Breast Cancer Rates More than Mammography Use
Women who are overweight or obese after menopause face an increased risk of breast cancer, but a large prospective cohort study indicates that the frequency of mammography use and screening accuracy are not the primary explanations for higher rates of breast cancer in these women. The same is true of large, invasive breast cancer tumors and advanced stage disease; risk increases with weight, but higher rates are not explained by the frequency or accuracy of screening mammography before breast cancer was diagnosed. The study appears in the December 3 Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Dr. Karla Kerlikowske of the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center and colleagues gathered data on 287,115 postmenopausal women who were registered in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium database. Reflecting a trend in the…

- Undergraduate Binge Drinking. Alcohol consumption on college and university campuses has gained attention because undergraduate students drink significantly more than young adults who are not students. Researchers I. Balodis et al. studied binge drinking in undergraduates in the article “Binge Drinking in Undergraduates: Relationships with Gender, Drinking Behaviors, Impulsivity, and the Perceived Effects of Alcohol” (Behavioural Pharmacology, Vol. 20, No. 5, pp. 518–526). The researchers found that students who are binge drinkers drink many times a month with the span of each outing having a mean of 4.9 hours and a standard deviation of 1.1 hours. a. For samples of size 40, find the mean and standard deviation of all possible sample mean spans of binge drinking episodes. Interpret your results in words. b. Repeat part (a) with n = 120.arrow_forwardGround vs. Helicopter for Serious Injuries A study investigated rates of fatalities among patients with serious traumatic injuries. Among 61,909 patients transported by helicopter, 7813 died. Among 161,566 patients transported by ground services, 17,775 died (based on data from “Association Between Helicopter vs Ground Emergency Medical Services and Survival for Adults With Major Trauma,” by Galvagno et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 307, No. 15). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the rate of fatalities is higher for patients transported by helicopter. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval. c. Considering the test results and the actual sample rates, is one mode of transportation better than the other? Are there other important factors to consider?arrow_forwardIs Seat Belt Use Independent of Cigarette Smoking?A study of seat belt users and nonusers yielded the randomly selected sample data summarized in the given table (based on data from “What Kinds of People Do Not Use Seat Belts?” by Helsing and Comstock,American Journal of Public Health,Vol. 67, No. 11). Test the claim that the amount of smoking is independent of seat belt use. A plausible theory is that people who smoke more are less concerned about their health and safety and are therefore less inclined to wear seat belts. Is this theory supported by the sample data?arrow_forward
- A pathological video game user (PVGU) is a video game user that averages 31 or more hours a week of gameplay. According to the article “Pathological Video Game Use among Youths: A Two-Year Longitudinal Study” (Pediatrics, Vol. 127, No. 2, pp. 319–329) by D. Gentile et al., in 2011, about 9% of children in grades 3–8 were PVGUs. Suppose that, today, five youths in grades 3–8 are randomly selected. Let X represent the number of youths who are PVGUs. n = p = 1 – p = Prepare the probability distribution for the random variable X. Complete the following table.
