- Using the same anti-venom study, answer the following questions. Researchers wanted to know the effectiveness of a new anti-venom. A study was conducted on 150 children who had nonlethal scorpion stings. The ages of the children ranged from 6 months to 18 years old. Each child was randomly assigned to receive a shot of the anti- venom or a placebo shot. Researchers recorded whether or not their condition improved over the next four hours. a. Identify the population for the study. b. Identify the sample for the study. c. Was this an observational study or a controlled experiment? Explain how you know. d. Assuming the rest of the study was well-designed, use the percentages you calculated in question 1 and the type of study conducted to discuss whether it would be reasonable to conclude that the new anti-venom is effective at treating nonlethal scorpion stings in children. For the toolbar, press ALT+F10 (PC) or ALT+FN+F10 (Mac).

- A group of students wanted to check the association between hypertension and high levels of LDL in patients. Below shows the contingency table that they got after collecting data from a certain number of people. With High LDL With Low LDL With Hypertension 87 36 Without Hypertension 48 123 Guide Questions: 1. Determine the Odds Ratio and Relative Risk and interpret their values a. Is High LDL a protective factor or a risk factor for hypertension? b. Does your answer in 1a) follow current trends in literature? (Please cite your references) 2. Discuss the results above and its implications a. Using Bradford Hill Criteria, is it suggestive for a causal association? b. What other criteria/further research would you recommend to strengthen the notion that High LDL would contribute to hypertension?arrow_forwardWhich of these statements is NOT true? Select one: O a.
