12. The only finding in Table 2 that is statistically significant (p<0.05) using the fully-adjusted model is:
a. Personally applying residential pesticides most or all of the time
b. Ever exposed to residential pesticides on a monthly basis
c. Not living on a farm or near a farm
D. Both A and B are correct
d.
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

9. Look at the footnotes in table 1 and choose the correct statement: a. Missing data on pack-years of smoking may introduce bias given that non-cases are more likely to have missing smoking data compared with cases. b. It is unlikely that missing pack-years of smoking will bias the results given that cases and non-cases have similar proportions of missing pack-years data. c. The rate of missingness of pack-year data in non-cases is unacceptably high therefore this variable should not...
7. What is the purpose of Table 1 ? a. To display the main analytical findings of the study. b. To display the most pertinent sub-analyses findings. c. To display descriptive participant characteristics by exposure or outcome group (depending on study design). d. Both A and B are correct. Table 1. Characteristics of Case and Noncase Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sister Study, United States, 20042009 Case Patients Noncase Patients With RA Characteristic (n 424)(n 48,919) No. % 57.9 (8.2) 55.1...
How can we assess whether a project is a success or a failure? This case presents two phases of a large business transformation project involving the implementation of an ERP system with the aim of creating an integrated company. The case illustrates some of the challenges associated with integration. It also presents the obstacles facing companies that undertake projects involving large information technology projects. Bombardier and Its Environment Joseph-Armand Bombardier was 15 years old when he built his first snowmobile...
