Question 33

Drawing conclusions about a population based on a parameter
Using descriptive statistics to draw conclusions about associations
Deciding between two hypotheses based on sample data and probability
Drawing conclusions about the presence of an outcome and the reasons for its existence
None of the answers listed
Question 34
When the results indicate a relative risk of 2.3 and we allow a 5% chance that the true value of the relative risk lies outside of the range 2,1 to 2.4, the range we are presenting depicts a:
5% p-value range
95% power interval
95% confidence interval
10% type ll error
5% type l error
Answer: Drawing conclusions about the presence of outcome and reason for its existence.
( Statistical methods used research analysis by including the different methods)
Ànswer: 5% p value range.
Which of the following statements best describes statistical inference?
1. Which of the following will increase the value of the power in a statistical test of hypotheses? (a) Increase the Type II error probability. (b) Increase the sample size. (c) Reject the null hypothesis only if the P-value is smaller than the level of significance. (d) All of the above 2. A significance test gives a P-value of 0.023. This means that the result is statistically significant at (a) both the 0.01 and the 0.05 levels. (b) neither the...
1.What is a primary function of statistical analysis? Planning when observations will be made. Organizing and summarizing data. Identifying a population 2."It is necessary to use inferential statistics when conducting a census." This statement is true. false. When a curve has a tail to the left but no tail to the right, it is said to have a positive skew. negative skew "The range is a statistic that describes central tendency." This statement is true. false. Which is the appropriate...
10) (a) In a hypothesis testing procedure explain the difference between a type 1 and type 2 error (b) Explain the difference between a point estimate and an interval estimate? What is a confidence interval? (c) A poll service indicates that 74% of the public is opposed to a certain piece of legislation but there is a 95% margin of sampling error of 3.1%. Express these findings as a confidence interval. (d) You read in the paper that in a...
1. Identify the study design.Which is the main exposure variable and which is the outcome variable? 2. A confounder is an extraneous variable that wholly or partially accounts for the observed effect of a risk factor on disease status. It should meet all of the following three conditions: . it is an independent risk factor for the outcome. . it is associated with the exposure . it is not in the causal pathway between exposure and outcome One way to...
Extract the following information from the abstract: Effects of an angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor, ramipril, on cardiovascular events in high-risk patients. Abstract BACKGROUND: We assessed the role of an angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor, ramipril, in patients who were at high risk for cardiovascular events. METHODS: A total of 9297 high-risk patients (55 years of age or older) who had evidence of vascular disease or diabetes plus one other cardiovascular risk factor were randomly assigned to receive ramipril (10 mg once per day orally) or...
For each problem, select the correct response. (a) What is the P-value of a test of the null hypothesis? A. The probability the null hypothesis is false B. The probability, assuming the null hypothesis is false, that the test statistic will take a value at least as extreme as that actually observed C. The probability the null hypothesis is true D. The probability, assuming the null hypothesis is true, that the test statistic will take a value at least as...
One measure of variation that we can look at is the Range when we have continuous variables. We will be using this measure to create a histogram. A histogram is used to show the frequencies of certain events or categories of data values in a set of data from one time period. Data are plotted in increasing or deceasing order based on the frequency count for each data categories. Assignment I Below is a data file containing the average number...

Please identify the 25 correct statements in the set below: Discovery analytics focuses on the question "Why did it happen?" Predicting a presidential candidate's percentage of the statewide vote from a sample of 800 voters would be an example of inferential statistics. This year, Oxnard University produced two football All-Americans. This is an example of continuous data. Sturges' Rule is merely a suggestion, not an ironclad requirement....
