Twenty-two young asthmatic volunteers were studied to assess the short-term effects of sulfur dioxide (SO2) exposure under various conditions [12]. The baseline data in Table 12.30 were presented regarding bronchial reactivity to SO2 stratified by lung function (as defined by forced expiratory volume / forced vital capacity [FEV1/FVC]) at screening. *12.8 Compare the means of each pair of groups using the Bonferroni method.

Cardiovascular DiseaseSuppose the incidence rate of myocardial infarction (MI)was 5 per 1000 among 45- to 54-year-old men in 2000.To look at changes in incidence over time, 5000 men in thisage group were followed for 1 year starting in 2010. Fifteennew cases of MI were found. 7.14 Of the 15 new MI cases in the preceding study, 5 died within 24 hours. Test whether the 24-hour case-fatality rate changed from 2000 to 2010.

A medical student at a community college in city Q wants to study the factors affecting the systolic blood pressure of a person (Y) Generally, the systolic blood pressure depends on the BMI of a person (B) and the age of the person A. She wants to test whether or not the BMI has a significant effect on the systolic blood pressure, keeping the age of the person constant. For her study, she collects a random sample of 125 patients from the city and estimates the following regression function: Y= 15.50 + 0..90B+1.15A. (0.55) (0 40) The test statistic of the study the student wants to conduct (Ho: B, = 0 vs. H, B, #0), keeping other variables constant is. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) At the 5% significance level, the student will ▼ the null hypothesis. Keeping BMIl constant, she now wants to test whether the age of a person (A) has no significant effect or a positive effect on the person's systolic blood pressure. So, the test statistic associated with the one-sided test the…

Denny studied factors affecting cardiovascular reactivity to a postural change in a sample of healthy men and women. Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults. Supine measurement of blood pressure was taken after participants had lain on an examination table for 15 minutes. Blood pressure was determined every 30 seconds using a Dinamap device for 2 minutes, and the measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up immediately, and additional measurements were made for another 2 minutes. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Denny’s sample: Which measures of dispersion, if any, are presented in this table (Ranges, SDs)? If age is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would be younger than 50? If BMI is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would have a BMI higher than 33.1?
