Recall in our discussion of the binomial distribution the research study that examined schoolchildren developing nausea and vomiting following holiday parties. The intent of this study was to calculate probabilities corresponding to a specified number of children becoming sick out of a given sample size. Recall also that the probability, i.e. the binomial parameter "p" defined as the probability of "success" for any individual, of a randomly selected schoolchild becoming sick was given.
Suppose you are now in a different reality, in which this binomial probability parameter p is now unknown to you but you are still interested in carrying out the original study described above, though you must first estimate p with a certain level of confidence. Furthermore, you would also like to collect data from adults to examine the difference between the proportion with nausea and vomiting following holiday parties of schoolchildren and adults, which will reflect any possible age differences in becoming sick. You obtain research funding to randomly sample 31 schoolchildren and 45 adults with an inclusion criterion that a given participant must have recently attended a holiday party, and conduct a medical evaluation by a certified pediatrician and general practitioner for the schoolchildren and adults, respectively. After anxiously awaiting your medical colleagues to complete their medical assessments, they email you data contained in the following tables.

What is the estimated 95% confidence interval (CI) of the difference in proportions between schoolchildren and adults developing nausea and vomiting following holiday parties? Assign groups 1 and 2 to be schoolchildren and adults, respectively.
Please note the following: 1) in practice, you as the analyst decide how to assign groups 1 and 2 and subsequently interpret the results appropriately in the context of the data, though for the purposes of this exercise the groups are assigned for you; 2) 0 and 1 are defined as no and yes, respectively, which is a typical coding scheme in Public Health; 3) you might calculate a CI that is different from any of the multiple choice options listed below due to rounding differences, therefore select the closest match; and 4) you may copy and paste the data into Excel to facilitate analysis.
Select one:
a. -0.4983 to -0.1497
b. -0.5887 to -0.1506
c. -0.6298 to -0.1549
d. -0.5476 to -0.1721

Suppose at random 44% of school children develop nausea and vomiting following holiday parties and that you conduct a study to examine this phenomenon, with a sample size of n=39. What is the probability that less than 0 children become sick?
Recall in our discussion of the normal distribution the research study that examined the blood vitamin D levels of the entire US population of landscape gardeners. The intent of this large-scale and comprehensive study was to characterize fully this population of landscapers as normally distributed with a corresponding population mean and standard deviation, which were determined from the data collection of the entire population. Suppose you are now in a different reality in which this study never took place though...

Case Study #1: Brittany’s Baby Brittany is 20 years old, and can’t wait until her 21st birthday so she can drink legally (even though she plays drinking games regularly with her friends at house parties). She works as a patient care technician at a local hospital and plans to go to nursing school once she saves enough money. She presents in your clinic with nausea/vomiting and fatigue that has been going on for about 5 days. She weighs 155# at...
