All current-carrying wires produce electromagnetic (EM) radiation, including the electrical wiring running into, through, and out of our homes. High-frequency EM radiation is thought to be a cause of cancer. The lower frequencies associated with household current are generally assumed to be harmless. To investigate the relationship between current configuration and type of cancer, researchers visited the addresses of a random sample of children who had died of some form of cancer (leukemia, lymphoma, or some other type) and classified the wiring configuration outside the dwelling as either a high-current configuration (HCC) or a low-current configuration (LCC). Here are the data:

Computer software was used to analyze the data. The output included the value X2=0.435

Which of the following is the expected count of cases with lymphoma in homes with an HCC?

a. 7931215

b. 1021215

c. 793110

d. 13631215

e. None of these

Short Answer

Option(a) is the expected count of cases with lymphoma in homes with an HCC.

Step by step solution

Simplify

As given, n=215

We know, expected count is rcn

where r is row, c is column

The expected count of cases with lymphoma in homes with an HCC :

r=79c=31rcn=7931215

Is astrology scientific? The General Social Survey (GSS) asked a random sample of adults their opinion about whether astrology is very scientific, sort of scientific, or not at all scientific. Here is a two-way table of counts for people in the sample who had three levels of higher education:

a. State appropriate hypotheses for performing a chi-square test for independence in this setting.

b. Compute the expected counts assuming that H0is true.

c. Calculate the chi-square test statistic, df, and P-value.

d. What conclusion would you draw?

It鈥檚 hard for smokers to quit. Perhaps prescribing a drug to fight

depression will work as well as the usual nicotine patch. Perhaps combining the patch and

the drug will work better than either treatment alone. Here are data from a randomized,

double-blind trial that compared four treatments.

A 鈥渟uccess鈥 means that the subject did not smoke for a year following the start of the study.

a. Summarize these data in a two-way table.

b. Do the data provide convincing evidence of a difference in the effectiveness of the four

treatments at the=0.05significance level?

The manager of a high school cafeteria is planning to offer several new types of food for student lunches in the new school year. She wants to know if each type of food will be equally popular so she can start ordering supplies and making other plans. To find out, she selects a random sample of 100students and asks them, 鈥淲hich type of food do you prefer: Ramen, tacos, pizza, or hamburgers?鈥 Here are her data:

The P-value for a chi-square test for goodness of fit is 0.0129. Which of the following is the most appropriate conclusion at a significance level of 0.05?

a. Because 0.0129 is less than =0.05 reject H0 . There is convincing evidence that the food choices are equally popular.

b. Because 0.0129 is less than =0.05 reject H0 There is not convincing

evidence that the food choices are equally popular.

c. Because 0.0129 is less than =0.05 reject H0 . There is convincing evidence that the food choices are not equally popular.

d. Because 0.0129 is less than =0.05 fail to reject H0 There is not convincing evidence that the food choices are equally popular.

e. Because 0.0129 is less than =0.05 fail to reject H0 There is convincing

evidence that the food choices are equally popular.

Tuition bills A random sample of U.S. adults was recently asked, 鈥淲ould you support or oppose major new spending by the federal government that would help undergraduates pay tuition at public colleges without needing loans?鈥 The two-way table shows the responses, grouped by age.

Do these data provide convincing evidence of an association between age and opinion about loan-free tuition in the population of U.S. adults?
