Do you suppose the data were obtained in a survey or in an experiment? Survey c. For the population of women whose mothers took the drug DES during pregnancy, a sample of 3980 women showed that 63 developed tissue abnormalities that might lead to cancer. Provide a descriptive statistic (to 1 decimal) that could be used to estimate the number of women out of 1000 in this population who have tissue abnormalities. 158 out of 1,000 women developed tissue abnormalities d. For the populatlon of women whose mothers did not take the drug DES during pregnancy, what is the estimate (to 1 decimal) of the number of women out of 1000 who would be expected to have tissue abnormalities? (Hint: remember that women whose mothers took the drug were twice as likely to develop tissue abnormalities.) 79 out of 1,000 women developed tissue abnormalities e·True or false: Medical studies often use a relatively large sample (in this case, 3980) because disease occurrences can be rare and difficult to observe when only isolated populations are considered Hide Feedback Partially Correct
