A method currently used by doctors to screen women for possible breast cancer has a failure rate of 15%. That is, it fails to detect cancer in 15% of the women who are known to have the disease. A new method has been developed that researchers hope will be able to detect cancer more accurately. A random sample of 80 women known to have breast cancer were screened using the new method of these , the new method failed to...

A method currently used to screen cancer fails to detect cancer in 20% of those who have cancer. A new method has been developed that researchers hope will be able to detect cancer more accurately. A random sample of 200 known to have cancer were screened using the new method and it failed to detect cancer in 30. Conduct a test to see if the new method is more accurate. Use α= 0.05. Assume that the sample size is large.

Breast cancer is the most common non-skin malignancy among women in the United States, and it is the second leading cause of death from cancer among women (lung cancer ranks Örst). A mammogram is a diagnostic procedure designed to quickly detect breast cancer. Such a test can exhibit two kinds of errors: One error is known as a false positive: The test incorrectly indicates cancer in a healthy woman. The other error (which is more serious error in this situation)...

4. Breast cancer occurs most frequently among older women, Of all age groups, women in their 60s have the highest rate of breast cancer. It is estimated that 3.7% of women in their 60s get breast cancer. Mammograms are X-ray images of the breast used to detect breast cancer. A mammogram can typically identify correctly 84.9% of cancer cases (sensitivity 84.9%) and 95.13% of cases without cancer (specificity = 95%). (This is exactly like problem #11) First write down the...

We are going to assume the class is a group of policy makers at a large insurance company – ABC HMO. Part of our pay is based on the company's financial performance for the current year. Specifically, the company looks at actual vs. projected medical expenses per member. The expected is based on last year's actual adjusted for inflation. One of our planners read the below article in the NY Times and recommends we reduce our coverage of routine breast...

The grading scheme is as follows: Identify and describe the parameter of interest. State the null and alternative hypotheses, using correct notation. Be specific with your parameters. 2pts State the value of the...

Indicate the one major type of limitation that is possible in each of the situations described below. Choose from the following: selection bias, information bias, confounding, random error, limited generalizability or no error. Choose only one per example. A case-control study was conducted to determine whether lower socioeconomic status was associated with a higher risk of cervical cancer. The cases consisted of 250 women with cervical cancer who had been referred to Massachusetts General Hospital for treatment for cervical cancer. They were referred from...

PLEASE SUMMARIZE THE 4 (numbered 1-4) ARTICLES TO 4 SENTENCES FOR EACH NUMBER. THANKS. 1. Medications have to be safe for mothers-to-be and for their unborn children. Before the authorities will approve a new drug, it must be tested in animal trials on pregnant rodents and, as a rule, pregnant rabbits. Scientists in the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering at ETH Zurich in Basel have now developed a test that allows them to examine a drug's embryotoxicity in cell...
