A researcher believes she has found a gene that is associated with having panic attacks. Ten out of her 15 panic patients have the gene, whereas only 5 out of 25 control subjects have the gene. What is the value of the chi-square statistic she should use to test the association between the suspected gene and the tendency to have panic attacks?

		4.36
		5.23
		6.83
		8.71

Expert Solution

The answer is:

Calculations:

The following cross-tabulation have been provided. The row and column total have been calculated and they are shown below:

	Treatment	Control	Total
Gene Present	10	5	15
Gene Absent	5	20	25
Total	15	25	40

Test Statistics

The Chi-Squared statistic is computed as follows:

A researcher believes that in recent years women have been getting taller. Ten years ago, the average height of young adult women living in his city was 63 inches. The standard deviation is not known. He randomly samples eight young adult women currently residing in the city and measures their heights. The sample data obtained is: [64, 66, 68, 60, 62, 65, 66, 63]. Use a significance level of alpha=0.05 to test if women are now taller.

Sterility is associated with loss of function (LOF) at a gene Z. The gene has 5000 bases where LOF mutations can occur. Assuming the human mutation rate is 2x10^-8 per generation. Homozygotes for LOF alleles at Z are sterile, and heterozygotes have mild sterility issues. The heterozygotes for LOF alleles at Z have 20% fewer children than an average individual I the population, but suffer no other ill effects. A) What is the frequency of the Z allele under mutation-selection...

A researcher believes that alcohol intoxication might severely impair driving ability. To test this, she subjects 10 volunteers to a driving simulation test, first when sober, and then, after drinking amounts sufficient to raise their blood alcohol to .04. The researcher measures performance as the number of simulated obstacles with which the driver collides. Thus, the higher the number, the poorer the driving. The data is in the Excel file in the tab labeled Question 4. Test whether there are...

3. Suppose that an individual has two options: • She can live with frequent migraine attacks for 30 years, valued at a quality-of-life weight of 0.4 per year, without any treatment. • Or she can undergo a treatment with which she will regain full health, valued at a quality-of-life weight of 1 per year, but live for only 20 years. The treatment costs $200,000. a) Calculate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of the treatment using the difference in quality-adjusted life-years...

Binomial Distribution: A real estate agent has ten properties that she shows. She feels that there is a 10% chance of selling any one property during a week. The chance of selling any one property is independent of selling another property. Compute the expected number of properties to be sold in a week. Compute the standard deviation of the number of properties sold each week. Compute the probability of selling five properties in one week. Compute the probability of selling...

In a clinical study, volunteers are tested for a gene that has been found to increase the risk for a disease. The probability that a person carries the gene is 0.1. Assume independence. (a) What is the probability that five or more people need to be tested to detect two with the gene? (b) What is the expected number of people to test to detect two with the gene?

Presume a couple found out their embryo has a gene mutation that has a high success rate of causing cancer later on in the baby’s life. Would you advocate the use of gene therapy in the embryo to correct the problem before the child was ever born? What if the embryo did not appear likely to develop a genetic disease, but the parents decided that they would really prefer that their child have blue eyes as opposed to brown? Would...
