A 10-year study was conducted by the American Heart Association to analyze how age, blood pressure, and smoking are related to the risk of strokes. Risk is interpreted as the probability (times 100) that the patient will have a stroke over the next 10-year period. For the smoking variable, define a dummy variable with 1 indicating a smoker and 0 indicating a nonsmoker. A sample data set of 18 people was used to develop an estimated regression equation to predict...

A study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association investigated the cardiac demands of heavy snow shoveling. Ten healthy men underwent exercise testing with a treadmill and a cycle ergometer modified for arm cranking. The men then cleared two tracts of heavy, wet snow (ouch!) using a lightweight plastic snow shovel and an electric snow thrower. Each subject’s heart rate was recorded under the 4 exercise modes. The Excel spreadsheet provides the heart rates for ten subjects under...

A study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association investigated the cardiac demands of heavy snow shoveling. Ten healthy men underwent exercise testing with a treadmill and a cycle ergometer modified for arm cranking. The men then cleared two tracts of heavy, wet snow by using a lightweight plastic snow shovel and an electric snow thrower. Each subject's heart rate during snow removal were compared with the values obtained during treadmill and arm-crank ergometer testing. Dataset: HeartRate Treadmill...

Question 2: The Journal of the American Medical Association reported in 2002 on a study of 1,100 airline passengers who flew from San Francisco to Denver. 515 of these passengers traveled on planes where air was re-circulated, the remaining 585 traveled on planes that did not recirculate air. Of those that did travel on planes where the air was recirculated, 110 reported post-flight respiratory problems. Of those on planes that did not recirculate the air, 108 reported post-flight respiratory problems....
