The article "Determination of Carboxyhemoglobin Levels and Health Effects on Officers Working at the Istanbul Bosphorus Bridge" (G. Kocasoy and H. Yalin, Journal of Environmental Science and Health, 2004:1129–1139) presents assessments of health outcomes of people working in an environment with high levels of carbon monoxide (CO). Following are the numbers of workers reporting various symptoms, categorized by work shift. The numbers were read from a graph. Shift Morning Evening Night Influenza 16 13 18 Headache 24 33 Weakness 11 16 5 Shortness of Breath Can you conclude that the proportions of workers with the various symptoms differ among the shifts?
The article "Effect of Refrigeration on the Potassium Bitartrate Stability and Composition of Italian Wines" (A. Versari, D. Barbanti, et al., Italian Journal of Food Science, 2002:45- 52) reports a study in which eight types of white wine had their tartaric acid concentration (in g/L) measured both before and after a cold stabilization process. The results are presented in the following table: Wine Type Before After Difference 2.86 2.59 0.27 2.85 2.47 0.38 3 1.84 1.58 0.26 4 1.60 1.56 0.04 0.80 0.78 0.02 6. 0.89 0.66 0.23 2.03 1.87 0.16 1.90 1.71 0.19 Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference between the tartaric acid concentrations before and after the cold stabilization process.
Cortisol is a hormone that plays an important role in mediating stress. There is a growing awareness that exposure of outdoor workers to pollutants may impact cortisol levels. The article "Plasma Cortisol Concentration and Lifestyle in a Population of Outdoor Workers" (International Journal of Environmental Health Res., 2011: 62-71) reported on a study involving three groups of police officers: 1. Traffic Police (TP) 2. Drivers (D) 3. Other Duties (0) Here is summary data on cortisol concentration (ng/ml) for a subset of the officers who neither drank nor smoked. Group Sample Size Mean SD TP 174.7 50.9 160.2 37.2 153.5 45.9 44 44 44 Assuming that the standard assumptions for one-way ANOVA are satisfied, carry out a test at significance level 0.05 to decide whether the true average cortisol concentration is different for the three groups. If any differences exist, state which groups are different.
The article “The Effect of Restricting Opening Hours on Alcohol-Related Violence” (S. Duailibi, W. Ponicki, et al., American Journal of Public Health, 2007:2276–2280) presented homicide rates for the years 1995–2005 for the town of Diadema, Brazil. In 2002, a law was passed requiring bars to close at 11 pm each night. After the law's passage, the homicide rate dropped by an average of 9 homicides per month, a statistically significant decrease. Which of the following is the best conclusion? a) It is reasonable to conclude that the law is responsible for a reduction of 9 homicides per month. b) It is reasonable to conclude that the law is responsible for a reduction in homicides, but the actual amount might be somewhat more or less than 9 per month. c) It is reasonable to conclude that the homicide rate decreased, but the law may not have anything to do with the decrease. d) It is plausible that the homicide rate may not have decreased at all after the passage of the law.
The article "Chronic Beryllium Disease and Sensitization at a Beryllium Processing Facility" (K. Rosenman, V. Hertzberg, et al., Environmental Health Perspectives, 2005:1366–1372) discusses the effects of exposure to beryllium in a cohort of workers. Workers were categorized by their duration of exposure (in years) and by their disease status (chronic beryllium disease, sensitization to beryllium, or no disease). The results were as follows: Duration of Exposure 1 to < 5 <1 25 Diseased 10 23 Sensitized 19 11 Normal 70 136 206 Can you conclude that the proportions of workers in the various disease categories differ among exposure levels?
Consider the results of a six-year observational study that documented health changes related to homeopathic care (Spence and Thompson 2005). Homeopathic treatment was defined as "stimulating the body's autoregulatory mechanisms using microdoses of toxins." Every one of the 6544 patients in the study was assigned to a hospital outpatient unit for homeopathic treatment. Of these, 4627 patients (70.7%) reported positive health changes following treatment. Suggest a major improvement to the design of this study. (hint: choose one of the six strategies of experimental design) 2. In 1976, Ewan Cameron and Linus Pauling (the only person to have won two unshared Nobel Prizes!) published a paper showing that vitamin C was an effect treatment for some kinds of cancer. They measured the life spans of a sample of 100 patients who were given extra doses of vitamin C. As a control, they pulled the records of several hundred patients from the same clinic who had died from the same types of…
Captivity can influence immunological responses in some mammals. Seeber et al. (2020) investigated various aspects of immunological responses in captive and free-ranging zebras. One aspect of the study involved samples of 12 free-ranging zebras from Namibia, 9 from Tanzania, and 38 captive zebras from various zoos in Europe. (All of these were non-lactating females.) One of the measured variables from blood samples was lysozyme concentration (μg/L). (Lysozyme is a biomarker of the immune response.) The researchers were interested in investigating possible differences in lysozyme concentration between zebras in the various locations. As part of the analysis, they carried out a one-way ANOVA on the lysozyme concentrations for the zebras from the 3 locations, and found the following output. Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F) Location 2 50.65 25.33 42.24 6.54e-12Residuals 56 33.57 0.60 Suppose the assumptions of one-way ANOVA…
King Tut was an ancient Egyptian ruler whose tomb was discovered and opened in 1923. Legend has it that the archaeologists who opened the tomb were subject to a “mummy's curse,” which would shorten their life spans. The article “The Mummy’s Curse: Historical Cohort Study” (M. Nelson, British Medical Journal, 2002:1482–1484) presents an investigation of the mummy’s curse. The article reports that 25 people exposed to the curse had a mean life span of 70.0 years with a standard deviation of 12.4 years, while a sample of 11 Westerners in Egypt at the time who were not exposed to the curse had a mean life span of 75.0 years with a standard deviation of 13.6 years. Can you conclude that the mean life span of those exposed to the mummy’s curse is less than the mean of those not exposed?
In a study conducted in the Science Department of Faculty of Science, Technology and Human Development in a University; the researcher examined the influence of the drug succinylcholine on the circulation levels of androgens in the blood. Blood samples from wild, free-ranging deer were obtained via the jugular vein immediately after an intramuscular injection of succinylcholine using darts and a capture gun. Deer were bled again approximately 30 minutes after the injection and then released. The level of androgens at time of capture and 30 minutes later, measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml), for 15 deers as in Table Q1. Assuming that the populations of androgen at time of injection and 30 minutes later are normally distributed:i) Find the average and standard deviation of this studyii)Determine the critical region of this problem.iii) Test at the 0.05 level of significance whether the androgen concentrations are altered after 30 minutes of restraint.
Suppose a study investigated the effects of vitamin A, vitamin C, and omega-3 fatty acids supplements on improving eye health and vision. 300 adults volunteered to take part in the study. In the study, participants were randomly assigned to one of 3 different levels of Vitamin A (Level A, Level B, or Level C) and randomly assigned to one of 2 different levels of Vitamin C (Level 1 or Level 2) and randomly assigned to one of 2 different levels of omega-3 fatty acid (Level I or Level II). a. Identify the subjects of the study. b. Identify the factor(s) for the study and the number of treatment level(s) for each factor. c. How many different treatment groups are there in this study?
Colonoscopy is a medical procedure that is designed to find and remove precancerous lesions in the colon before they become cancerous. The article “Association of Colonoscopy and Death from Colorectal Cancer” (N. Baxter, M. Goldwasser, et al., Annals of Internal Medicine, 2009:1–8) reports that in a sample of 10,292 people diagnosed with colorectal cancer, 7.0% had previously had a colonoscopy, and in a sample of 51,460 people without colorectal cancer, 9.8% had previously had a colonoscopy. Can you conclude that the percentage of people who have had colonoscopies is greater in those without colorectal cancer?
