Returning to the same study examining the relationship between maternal smoking during pregnancy and congenital malformations (among children who suffer from an abnormality other than Down's Syndrome or an oral cleft, 32.8% have mothers who smoked during pregnancy), consider children born with an oral cleft. In a random sample of 27 such infants, 15 have mothers who smoked during pregnancy.
a) What is a point estimate for p? Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion.
b) Conduct the test at the 0.01 level of significance. (I am looking for the p-value)
(a) A point estimate for p=15/27=0.56
Given a=0.05, |Z(0.025)|=1.96 (from standard normal table)
So 95% confidence interval is
p+/- Z*v(p*(1-p)/n)
--> 0.56 +/- 1.96*sqrt(0.56*(1-0.56)/27)
--> (0.3727618, 0.7472382)
(b) The test hypothesis is
Ho:p=0.328
Ha:p not equal to 0.328
The test statistic is
Z=(phat-p)/v(p*(1-p)/n)
=(0.56-0.328)/sqrt(0.328*(1-0.328)/27)
=2.57
The p-value=2*P(Z>2.57)=0.0102 (from standard normal table)
Since p-value is larger than 0.005, we do not reject
HO.

Returning to the same study examining the relationship between maternal smoking during pregnancy and congenital malformations, consider children born with an oral cleft. In a random sample of 27 such infants, 15 have mothers who smoked during pregnancy. b) You would like to know whether the proportion of mothers who smoked during pregnancy for children with an oral cleft is identical to the proportion of mothers who smoked for children with other types of malformations. What is the null hypothesis...

A case-control study examined the association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and ADHD among children. The investigators decided to match the cases and controls by the mother’s level of education. What is the effect of matching in this study? Choose the best answer.
Briefly explain how epigenesis can explain the link between maternal smoking during pregnancy and risk for ADHD in children?
2. A small study (n=10) is designed to assess if there is an
association between smoking in pregnancy and low birth weight. Low
birth weight babies are those born less than 5.5 pounds. The
following data represent the birth weights, in pounds, of babies
born to mothers who reported smoking in pregnancy and those who did
not.

Question 13 A study is planned to investigate the relationship of factors associated with maternal hypertension and the risk of congenital birth defects in children born to these women. In this study, the researchers will start with women who have given birth to children with birth defects. They then research their charts to determine their hypertension levels during their pregnancy. What should be your measure of rate, odds or risk ratio? rate odds risk ratio What type of study is...
