Percentages do not add to 100 because of rounding. Numbers do not add to the total number of cases because of missing data on childhood farm residence for 43 case patients (10%) and 5,053 noncase patients (10%). Percentages are based on nonmissing data and do not add to 100 because of rounding d Numbers do not add to the total number of cases because of missing data for 6 case patients (1%) and 1 ,310 non- case patients (3%). Percentages are based on nonmissing data. Numbers do not add to the total number of cases because of missing data on childhood residential pesticide use for 47 case patients (11 %) and 5,064 noncase patients (10%), on frequency for an additional 4 case patients (1 %) and 512 noncase patients (1%), and on personal use for an additional 22 noncase patients (0%). Percentages are based on nonmissing data. Direct refers to having applied pesticide personally some or most of the time; indirect refers to others having applied pesticide; frequent refers to having applied pesticide at least monthly; infrequent refers to having applied pesti- cide less often than monthlyd.

Answer #1

Considering the test to be a Normal population test, we have only A part as statistically significant. For the 95% Confidence Interval, we have the upper tail as 1.96 in case of two tailed Normal test.

The Confidence interval for part A is (2.2, 10). Hence it exceeds the Confidence region and lies in the critical region and hence is statistically significant.

However, we have no significant proof to show B part as significant
