Create a case Study "Eliminating measles in southern Africa" with the infor below

Health Condition: Measles, one of the most contagious infections known to humans, ranks among the top four childhood killers worldwide. Despite the existence of a safe and effective vaccine, an estimated 30 to 40 million cases of the disease and some 454,000 deaths occurred in 2004. Just under half of these deaths were in sub-Saharan Africa, where measles kills more children than HIV/AIDS. In 1996, the seven countries of southern Africa reported a total of 60,000 measles cases and 166 measles deaths.

Intervention or Program: In 1996, seven southern African countries agreed on a plan to eliminate measles. The strat­egy consisted of:

routine immunization for babies at nine months;

a nationwide "catch-up" campaign to provide a second opportunity for immunization to all children aged 9 months to 14 years; and

follow-up campaigns in young children every three to four years.

In addition, the countries organized surveillance for cases of measles and improved laboratory fa­cilities so that suspect cases could be confirmed.

Impact: Between 1996 and 2000, the number of measles cases across southern Africa fell from 60,000 to 117. The number of measles deaths fell from 166 to zero.

Cost and Cost-Effectiveness: The majority of the funding for the measles initiative came from national budgets. An esti­mate of the total cost of the program is $26.4 million, with the average cost per immunized child at $1.10. The cost of in­creasing routine coverage from 50 to 80 percent has been estimated at about $2.50 per year of healthy life gained, making measles immunization an extremely cost-effective intervention.

General Electric recently conducted a study to evaluate filaments in their industrial high intensity bulbs. Investigators recorded the number of weeks each high-intensity bulb would last before failure for three test filaments (Groups 1, 2, and 3) and the standard filament (Group 4). The results are as follows. Using ? = 0.01,

Group       1          2       3        4

                 15       14     25     28

                 18       18     19     31

                 21       20     22     27

                 16       16     20     32

                 17       15     18     23

                 20       16     24     25

                18         22     27     30

1. Write an appropriate ANOVA hypothesis to test the difference in means of the four groups (null and alternative).
2. Read the data into R or R-studio, run an ANOVA model in R and paste the code used as well as the output here. What is the decision based on the ANOVA test? You need to explain what part of the output led you to the conclusion you made.
3. Continue using R: Use the Tukey method to test all pairwise contrasts. Show the R code, output, and explain the results of all the comparisons in complete sentences while referencing the parts/numbers on the output that support your conclusions.

Hypothesis Testing and Confidence Intervals

The Reliable Housewares store manager wants to learn more about the purchasing behavior of its

"credit" customers. In fact, he is speculating about four specific cases shown below (a) through (d) and

wants you to help him test their accuracy.

i. Using the dataset provided in Files perform the hypothesis test for each of the above speculations (a) through (d) in order to see if there is an statistical evidence to support the manager’s belief. In each case,

oUse the

Seven Elements of a Test of Hypothesis, in Section 7.1 of your textbook (on or about Page 361) or the Six Steps of Hypothesis Testing I have identified in the addendum.

oUse α=2%for all your analyses,

oExplain your conclusion in simple terms,

oIndicate which hypothesis is the“claim”,

o Compute the p-value,
