a)
In the 1999-2000 NHANES report, the reported cancer rate for women subjects age 65 and older is 14%. Using this estimate as the true percentage of all females ages 65and over who have been told by a health care provider that they have cancer, find the probability that if 210 women are selected at random from the population, more than 20% will have been told they have cancer.
b)
In the same report, the cancer rate for men ages 65 and older is 23%. Use this estimate as the percentage of all men ages 65 and older who have been told by a health care provider that they have cancer. Find the probability that among 250 men selected at random that fewer than 20% will have been told they have cancer.
c)
Find the probability that the male cancer rate is at least 3% higher than the female cancer rate in the two samples given above.

An NHANES report gives data for 654 women aged 20 to 29 years.
The mean BMI for these 654 women was x = 26.8. On the basis of this
sample, we are going to estimate the mean BMI μ
in the population of all 20.6 million women in this age group. We
will assume that the NHANES sample is a SRS from a normal
distribution with known standard deviation σ = 7.5
Construct three confidence intervals for the mean BMI...

An NHANES report gives data for 654 women aged 20 to 29 years.
The mean BMI of these 654 women was 26.8. On the basis of the
sample, estimate the mean BMI in the population of all 20.6 million
women in the age group. Let us assume that the sample is from a
normal population with standard deviation of 7.5.
a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for mean BMI of all
women
b) Construct both a 90% and 99% confidence...

16. An epidemiologic study of
breast cancer among elderly women followed 1,000 women, 65-79 years
of age, without evidence of breast cancer over several years. Every
two years the investigators examined the women for breast cancer.
The results were as follows: 12 new cases at the first evaluation,
11 new cases at the second evaluation, 23 new cases at the third
evaluation, and 28 new cases at the fourth (and final) evaluation.
The investigators also noted that 40 women had...
women who reported an earlier age at menarche were more likely to be heavier at age...
women who reported an earlier age at menarche were more likely
to be heavier at age 7 years (average weight = 24.7 kg) compared
with those who reported a later age at menarche (average weight =
23.2 kg) (P = 0.01). The correlation between weight at age 7 years
and age at menarche was -0.17 (P = 0.009).
Q: The -0.17 value is for what? how to find it and why it is
important to mention?

Q3: A study followed a population of 2000 women aged over 65
years for 10 years and measured the number of cases of osteoporosis
diagnosed during that time period. The investigators were
interested in the effect of regular exercise on the development of
osteoporosis and divided he women into two groups: 1000 women who
took regular exercise and 1000 women who did not take regular
exercise. The investigators recorded 800 new cases of osteoporosis
over the 10 years of the...

According to a report by the American Cancer Society, more men
than women smoke and twice as many smokers die prematurely than
nonsmokers. In random samples of 200 males and 200 females, 62 of
the males and 54 of the females were smokers.
• Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion
of males who smoke is greater than the proportion of females who
smoke? α = .01
• Calculate the p-value associated with the test

2. Find the following probabilities.
(a) Suppose 75% of women live past age 65 and 55% of women live
past age
80. What is the probability that a woman who is now 65 will live
past 80?
(b) What’s the probability that a roll of two fair six-sided dice
will sum to 6?
What’s the probability of this once you observe that one of the
dice came
up 2?
(c) A fair six-sided dice is tossed twice. The second toss...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a
survey of randomly selected Americans age 65 and older, which found
that 411 of 1012 mean and 535 of 1062 women suffered from some form
of arthritis.
Test the claim that a different proportion of
senior men and women who have this disease at the α = 0.05.
