Expert Solution

B) should be correct answer.

A cancer incidence rate is the number of new cancers of a specific site/type occurring in a specified population during a year, usually expressed as the number of cancers per 100,000 population at risk. That is,

Incidence rate = (New cancers / Population) × 100,000

n age-adjusted rate is a weighted average of the age-specific rates, where the weights are the proportions of persons in the corresponding age groups of a standard population. The potential confounding effect of age is reduced when comparing age-adjusted rates computed using the same standard population.

Researchers studied 70 children periodically until age 18 on weights at ages 2, 9, and 18 (WT2, WT9, WT18 in kg) and BMI in age 18 (BMI1). Data is attached below. a) Decide if there is collinearity in the data from scatter plots. Use R to generate the ANOVA table and lm summaries for necessary models and answer the following question. b) What is SS(WT9|WT2), SS(WT18|WT9, WT2) c) Discuss the influence of collinearity on the parameters and the standard errors of...

What would be the effect on age-specific incidence rates of leukemia if women with children were excluded from the denominator of the calculations, assuming that there are some women in each age group that have children? (Would they increase, decrease, stay the same, increase in older groups, increase in younger groups, or something else?)

According to a study, 45% of all males between the ages of 18 and 24 live at home. (Unmarried college students living in a dorm are counted as living at home.) Suppose that a survey is administered and 118 of 223 respondents indicated that they live at home. (a) Use the normal approximation to the binomial to approximate the probability that at least 118 respondents live at home. (b) Do the results from part (a) contradict the study?

A poll of 1021 U.S. adults split the sample into four age groups: ages 18-29, 30-49, 50-64, and 65+. In the youngest age group, 60% said that they thought the U.S. was ready for a woman president, as opposed to 37% who said "no, the country was not ready" (3% were undecided). The sample included 25518- to 29-year olds. a) Do you expect the 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of all 18- to 29-year olds who think the...
