The Chance of Dying of a disease is 3.5% without a drug and 7% with the drug. Compute the risks, odds, and their respective ratios and write out in words what each means?
Homework Answers
Percentage of patients with chances of dying of a disease without a drug - 3.5%
Percentage of patients with chances of dying of disease with a drug - 7%
Total group at risk = 10.5 (7+3.5)
Relative risk for patients with chances of getting cured without drugs = 3.5/10.5 = 0.333
So for 100 percent of patients with disease 33.3 percent lpatients have the chances to get cured without drugs.
Relative risk for patients with chances of getting cured with drugs = 7.5/10.5 = 0.714
And for patients with drugs they have a chances of 71.4 percent of getting cured
Odds ratio for this risk 3.5/10.5/7/10.5 = 0.5
This suggest that people are more probably to get cured by drugs and less likely without drugs.

7 patients have been selected for a special clinical trial for an emerging disease. For this rare disease, the probability that a new experimental drug will cure this disease is only 30% (or 0.3). What is the probability that exactly 6 patients of the 7 will be successfully cured by the experimental drug. You can assume that this situation is a binomial, with each patient having the same probability of being cured. Answer in decimal form using 4 decimals.

Antibiotic resistance occurs when disease-causing microbes become resistant to antibiotic drug therapy. Because this resistance is typically genetic and transferred to the next generation of microbes, it is a very serious public health problem. According to the CDC, 7% of gonorrhea cases tested in 2004 were resistant to the antibiotic ciprofloxacin. A physician prescribed ciprofloxacin for the treatment of 10 cases of gonorrhea during one week in 2004. (c) What is that probability for exactly 2 out of 10?

Mendelian Genetics The gene involved in the disease Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) is on human chromosome 11. Allele “A” is the normal form of the gene and codes for a part of the protein complex called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is required for your blood cells to carry oxygen. Allele “a” is an abnormal form of the gene. The hemoglobin protein made from the “a” allele is defective. Red blood cells containing the defective protein are very fragile. This disease is recessive–meaning...

Name: ckhol hoor 1. Everyone knows that when you flip a coin, you have a 50 percent chance of heads and a 50 percent chance of tails. This means that out of 100 flips you should get 50 heads and 50 tails. However, if you actually flip a coin 100 times, a 50:50 ratio is only one among many possible outcomes. What if you get a ratio of 48 heads to 52 tails? How can we be certain that what...
