Anemia (low healthy blood cells or hemoglobin) has an important role in exercise performance.
However, the direct link between rapid changes of hemoglobin and exercise performance is
still unknown. A study investigated 18 patients with a blood disorder (beta-thalassemia).
Participants in the study performed an exercise test before and the day after receiving a blood
transfusion. Data are given in the table.

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

The table below is from a study called “The Epidemiology of Social Stress.” The researchers in this study conduct a series of statistical tests to shed light on the association between social status variables (IVs) and depression (DVs). The left-hand column shows the tests for mean depressive symptom scores (Number of symptoms reported [range:0-50], higher levels indicate higher number of reported depressive symptoms) by sex, age, marital status, and occupational prestige. The right-hand column shows the tests for prevalence of major depressive disorder (has major depression=1; does not have major depression=0), broken down by sex, age, marital status, and occupational prestige. Examine the table and answer questions
a)At alpha=.05, what can you conclude about the association between marital status and mean depressive symptom scores? Briefly summarize the findings, and provide a plausible, logical explanation (theory) for the observed association (or lack thereof).
b)At alpha =.001,…

A study is proposed to assess the relationship between childhood blood-pressure levels and LVM in children as determined from echocardiograms. The goal is to stratify children into a normal bp group (< 90th percentile for their age, gender, and height) and an elevated bp group (≥ 90th percentile for their age, gender, and height) and compare change in LVM between the two groups. Before this can be done, one needs to demonstrate that LVM actually changes in children over a 4-year period. To help plan the main study, a pilot study is conducted where echocardiograms are obtained from 10 random children from the Bogalusa Heart Study at baseline and after 4 years of follow-up.

Methods: In this study, we determined serum levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D), parathyroid hormone, serum CTX, and PINP using commercial ELISA kits in 310 healthy Indian women aged 25 - 65 years who underwent BMD measurements with DXA scan. Results: The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 53.87%. A direct correlation of BMD with vitamin D levels was not observed.
