The proportion of deaths due to lung cancer in males ages 15-64 in England and Wales during the period 1970- 1972 was 12%. Suppose that of 20 deaths that occur among male workers in this age group who have worked for at least 1 year in a chemical plant, 5 are due to lung cancer. We wish to determine whether there is a difference between the proportion of deaths from lung cancer in this plant and the proportion in the...
We want to make a comparison on the proportion of deaths due to lung cancer in the general population of chemical plant workers versus the proportion of deaths due to lung cancer for those working in a new chemical plant. We draw a sample and find the proportion of deaths due to lung cancer in the general population of chemical plant workers nationwide is estimated at 12.8% (n=250). Suppose that of 100 deaths that occurred in a new chemical plant,...
Problem: Proportion of "Cured” Cancer Patients: How Does Canada Compare with Europe? Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death for both Canadian men and women, responsible for the most potential years of life lost to cancer. Lung cancer alone accounts for 28% of all cancer deaths in Canada (32%. in Quebec). Most forms of lung cancer start insidiously and produce no apparent symptoms until they are too far advanced. Consequently, the chances of being cured of lung cancer...
3. (4 pts) The National Cancer Institute conducted a 2-year study to determine whether cancer death rates for areas near nuclear power plants are higher than areas without nuclear facilities. A spokesperson for the institute said "From the data at hand, there was no convincing evidence of any increased risk of death from any of the cancers surveyed due to living near nuclear facilities. However, no study can prove the absence of an affect." Let po be the proportion of...
(1 point) Based on information from Diagnostic Tests with Nursing Implications, Springhouse Corporation, for the population of healthy female adults, the mean red blood cell count (RBC) is 4.8 (millions of cells per cubic millimeter of whole blood). A researcher thinks the RBC is underestimated, so she conducts a test of significance using Null Hypothesis: u s 4.8 vs. Alternative Hypothesis: ? > 4.8. If the true mean RBC is 4.75 and the null hypothesis is rejected, what has occurred?...
1) (7 points) An investigator hypothesizes that educating parents on proper nutrition and exercise will reduce the total cholesterol level of children. A sample of 20 children between the ages of ten to fifteen have agreed to have their total cholesterol level measured for this study. Suppose the investigator wishes to run a hypothesis test at a 5% level of significance. a) (1 point) What is the outcome variable? Is this outcome variable considered to be continuous or dichotomous? b)...
Question 2 (1 point) Suppose the proportion of deaths from ischemic heart disease (IHD) is 40% for all 15- to 64- year-old men in the U.S. However, you think it is more than 40 %. According to a sample of 75 participants, the test statistic is calculated as 2.62. What is your conclusion and based on what? (α- 0.05 A) The proportion of deaths from ischemic heart disease (IHD) is not significantly higher than 40%, based on p-value < 0.05...
3. Refer to the cancer data referenced in Question 2. Test the hypothesis that the proportion of breast cancer patients treated with ascorbate who will survive more than a year is larger than 0.75 Assume a Type I error rate of 0.05. Report a p-value, say whether you chose H or not, and explain why you made the choice you did. Are you surprised by this outcome? Why or why not? 4. Refer to Question 3. What sample size would...
