Patients immobilized for a substantial amount of time can develop deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot in a leg or pelvis vein. A study compared patients treated with Fragmin with patients given a placebo. Of the 1473 immobilized patients given a placebo, 73 experienced a complication from DVT. a. Compute the proportion of patients given a placebo who experience a complication from DVT. What are the risk and odds of experiencing a complication from DVT when an immobilized patient is given a placebo. How do these values compare?

Overproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown. This may be an advance indication of illness such as gout, leukemia, or lymphoma. Over a period of months, and adult male patient has taken 13 blood test for uric acid. The main concentration was X=5.41 mg/dl. The distribution of uric acid and healthy adult meals can be assumed to be normal, with o=1.81 mg/dl. find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in the patient's blood. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit= upper limit=
In an observational study it was found that people who had received the flu shot this year had better blood pressure readings, on average, than people who did not. Can it be claimed that the flu shot is the cause of the lower overall blood pressure? Why or why not?
Color blindness, or dyschromatopsia, is a form of genetic deficiency in color perception. The condition is much more prevalent among males than females, pointing to a genetic connection with the X chromosome. The frequency of dyschromatopsia in the Caucasian American male population is about 8%. However, it is thought that this proportion might be smaller among males of other ethnicities. We want to estimate the proportion of Asian American males who are color-blind. How large a sample size do we need in order to obtain a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error no greater than 4%, or 0.04? n=__________
Patients immobilized for a substantial amount of time can de flop deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot in a leg or pelvis vein. DVT can have serious adverse health effects and can be difficult to diagnose. On its website, drug manufacturer Pfizer reports the outcome of a study looking at the effectiveness of the drug Fragmin (dalteparin) compared with that of a placebo in preventing DVT in immobilized patients. In a double-blind, multinational study, severely immobilized patients were randomly assigned to receive daily subcutaneous injections of either Fragmin or a placebo for 12 to 14 days and were followed for 90 days. The results, in number of patients experiencing a complication from DVT (including death), are summarized in the table below. Treatment outcome Complication No complication Drug Fragmin 42 1476 1518 Placebo 73 1400 1473 Find and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the ratio of the odds of a complication when taking Fragmin versus the odds of a complication when…
Do you have enough good cholesterol?” High density lipoprotein (HDL) is sometimes called the “good cholesterol” because high values are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. According to the American Heart Association, people over the age of 20 years should have at least 40 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) of HDL cholesterol. U.S. women aged 20 and over have a mean HDL of 55 mg/dl with a standard deviation of 15.5 mg/dl. Assume that the distribution is normal. A. What percent of women have low values of HDL (40 mg/dl or less?) B. HDL levels of 60mg/dl or higher are believed to protect people from heart disease. What percent of women have protective levels of HDL? C. Women with more than 40mg/dl but less than 60 mg/dl of HDL are in the intermediate range, neither very good or very bad. What proportion are in this category?

DVT can have serious adverse health effects and can be difficult to diagnose. On its website, drug manufacturer Pfizer reports the outcome of a study looking at the effectiveness of the drug Fragmin (dalteparin) in preventing DVT in immobilized patients. Of the 1518 randomly chosen immobilized patients given Fragmin, 42 experienced a complication from DVT. Of the 1473 randomly chosen immobilized patients given a placebo, 73 experienced a complication from DVT. Compute the proportion (risk) of patients experiencing DVT complications for immobilized patients treated with Fragmin. (Enter the proportion with 4 decimal places. DO NOT enter the percent.)

Eyeglassomatic manufactures eyeglasses for different retailers. They test to see how many defective lenses they made in a given time period and found that 10% of all lenses had defects of some type. Looking at the type of defects, they found in a three-month time period that out of 34,024 defective lenses, 5840 were due to scratches. Are there more defects from scratches than from all other causes? State the Type I and Type II errors in this case.State the Type I error. Concluding that the proportion of defects from scratches is 10%, when in reality it is less than 10%. Concluding that the proportion of defects from scratches is 10%, when in reality it is higher than 10%.

Brink studied the effect of postural change on cardiovascular reactivity for a sample of healthy white and African American 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 measured five times every 2 minutes using a preset automated blood pressure monitor, and the five measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up, and an additional five measurements were made over another 10-minute period and then averaged. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Brink’s sample. Characteristics of the Study Sample (N = 842) Sample Characteristic Frequency (N) Percentage or Mean (SD) Range Gender Female Male 408 434 48.5% 51.5% Age (years) 842 55.1 (5.3) 44–67 Race/ethnicity White, not Hispanic…

A research study examined the effects of a new drug versus an old drug on hypertension. There were 172 people enrolled in the new drug group, and 125 of them were hypertensive. For the old drug group, 165 people were enrolled and of those, 76 were hypertensive. Was there a difference in the proportion of people who were hypertensive between the new drug and the old drug?
