Flu Vaccine: The Center for Disease Control (CDC) claims that the flu vaccine is effective in reducing the probability of getting the flu. They conduct a trial on 3000 people. The results are summarized in the contingency table below.

Observed Frequencies: Oi's

Got No
Vaccine Vaccine Totals
Got Flu   33     32     65  
No Flu   1917     1018     2935  
Totals   1950     1050     3000  

The Test: Test for a dependent relationship between getting the vaccine and getting the flu. Conduct this test at the 0.01significance level.

(a) What is the null hypothesis for this test?

H0: Getting the flu vaccine and getting the flu are independent variables.

H0: Getting the flu vaccine helps prevent the flu.    

H0: Getting the flu vaccine and getting the flu are dependent variables.
(b) What is the value of the test statistic? Round to 3 decimal places unless your software automatically rounds to 2 decimal places.

χ2 =  
(c) Use software to get the P-value of the test statistic. Round to 4 decimal places unless your software automatically rounds to 3 decimal places.
P-value =  
(d) What is the conclusion regarding the null hypothesis?

reject H0

fail to reject H0    
(e) Choose the appropriate concluding statement.

We have proven that getting the flu vaccine prevents the flu.

The evidence suggests that getting the flu vaccine and getting the flu are dependent variables.    

There is not enough evidence to conclude that getting the flu vaccine and getting the flu are dependent variables.

Pinworm: In a prior sample of U.S. adults, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), found that 10% of the people in this sample had pinworm but the margin of error for the population estimate was too large. They want an estimate that is in error by no more than 2.5 percentage points at the 90% confidence level. Enter your answers as whole numbers.

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the percent of adults 20 years of age and over in the United States who are overweight is 69%. One city’s council wants to know if the proportion of overweight citizens in their city is different from this known national proportion. They take a random sample of 150 adults 20 years of age or older in their city and find that 98 are classified as overweight. At the 4% level of significance,...

Background: You are a CDC (Center for Disease Control) researcher studying malaria. Your goal is to understand the evolution of malaria in order to be able to possibly predict where a future outbreak may be. To do this you will be using information from the evolution of the pathogen, the host, and changes in the environment. Topics to think about include: What is the evolutionary origin of human malaria? (hint: think about host-pathogen cospeciation or host shift) What could you...

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC),76 million people in the US get diarrhea and upset stomachs each year. Most of these infections can be prevented by regularly washing one’s hands. A microbiologist believes that a majority (i.e. more than 50%) of women wash their hands after using the bathroom. She collects a sample of 40 women, calculates p, and performs a hypothesis test at alpha = 0.05. (a) Give the hypotheses which the microbiologist wants to test. (b)...

Part 1 On Tuesday, November 3, 1970, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta received the weekly telegram of surveillance data from the Texas State Health Department. The telegram reported 319 cases of measles in the state during the previous week. In contrast, Texas had reported an average of 26 cases per week during the previous four weeks. In follow-up telephone calls, CDC learned from state health officials that 295 cases of measles had been diagnosed in the city...

A recent study by the Center for Disease Control claims that a new super-contagious virus will impact a population in which it is found if left unchecked. A recent occurrence of this virus happened on an very isolated island nation with over 30,000 inhabitants. In randomly testing 400 residents of this island after the virus outbreak, a research team found 330 tested positive for having been infected by the virus.                    What was the sample's proportion measure of those having...
