Epidemiologic case-control studies often report increased risk of an event given exposure, but we know that we can only calculate the odds ratio in a case-control study as opposed to a risk ratio.

Is it important to distinguish between a risk ratio and an odds ratio?

When does Odds Ratio approximate the Risk Ratio?

When does it approximate the Rate Ratio?

The Human Resources (HR) Department of a certain college has asked all employees who were employed in 2018 to fill out a survey in December 2018. Three items on the survey were: “Your dental expense in 2018”, “Are you in a family with at least three other family members?”, and “Your medical expenses in 2018”. The manager of HR has randomly selected a sample of 169 surveys. Found that the sample average dental expense is $1600 per person with the sample standard deviation is $500. 70 of them are in a family of at least three other members. Also, the sample average medical expense is $2,450 per person and the sample standard deviation is $700.

  1. The statistical inference will be made in parts (b), (c) and (d). Please clearly state the three parameters of interest.
  2. Provide a 99% interval estimate of the average dental expenses per employee who was employed in the year 2018. please interpret your answer.

A research group conducted an extensive survey of 3180 wage and salaried workers on issues ranging from relationships with their bosses to household chores. The data were gathered through hour-long telephone interviews with a nationally representative sample. In response to the question, "What does success mean to you?" 1614 responded, "Personal satisfaction from doing a good job." Let p be the population proportion of all wage and salaried workers who would respond the same way to the stated question. Find a 90% confidence interval for p. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

A classroom contains 10 students. A student committee of 3 (president, vice-president, and treasurer) must be selected. Harry Potter will serve only as president only if either of his friends Ron Weasley or Hermione Granger serve as vice president; otherwise he leaves the group. The others (including Ron and Hermione) have no such restrictions. What is the probability that Ron or Hermione become the president of this group?

1. (20 points) Susan Sound predicts that students will learn most effectively with a constant background sound, as opposed to an unpredictable sound. She randomly divides 15 students into 2 groups of 7 and 8 each. All students study a passage of text for 30 minutes. Those in group 1 study with background sound at a constant volume in the background. Those in group 2 study with noise that changes volume periodically. After studying, all students take a 10 point multiple choice test over the material. Their scores have the following test statistics.

The types of browse favored by deer are shown in the following table. Using binoculars, volunteers observed the feeding habits of a random sample of 320 deer.

Type of Browse Plant Composition
in Study Area
Observed Number of Deer
Feeding on This Plant
Sage brush           32% 96                
Rabbit brush           38.7% 131                
Salt brush           12% 40                
Service berry             9.3% 25                
Other             8% 28                

Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the natural distribution of browse fits the deer feeding pattern.

(a) What is the level of significance?


State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H0: The distributions are different.
H1: The distributions are the same.H0: The distributions are the same.
H1: The distributions are different.    H0: The distributions are the same.

(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round the expected frequencies to at least three decimal places. Round the test statistic to three decimal places.)


Are all the expected frequencies greater than 5?

YesNo    


What sampling distribution will you use?

chi-squareStudent's t    normalbinomialuniform


What are the degrees of freedom?


(c) Estimate the P-value of the sample test statistic.

P-value > 0.1000.050 < P-value < 0.100    0.025 < P-value < 0.0500.010 < P-value < 0.0250.005 < P-value < 0.010P-value < 0.005


(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis that the population fits the specified distribution of categories?

Since the P-value > α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.Since the P-value > α, we reject the null hypothesis.    Since the P-value ≤ α, we reject the null hypothesis.Since the P-value ≤ α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.


(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

At the 5% level of significance, the evidence is sufficient to conclude that the natural distribution of browse does not fit the feeding pattern.At the 5% level of significance, the evidence is insufficient to conclude that the natural distribution of browse does not fit the feeding pattern.
