Anthony was a normal, full-term baby at birth. Beginning at about 8 months of age, he suffered from a series of infections such as sinusitis, otitis media, and pneumonia. All of these conditions were successfully treated with antibiotics, but within a few weeks of the resolution of one infection, another would occur. Now at about three years old, Anthony is examined by a pediatrician who notes that he lacks tonsils. After speaking to Anthony’s mother, she reveals that she had a male relative die at infancy from an infectious disease. The pediatrician orders laboratory tests that reveal that the quantity of immunoglobulin in Anthony’s serum is about one-fifth of normal, and that there is a marked deficiency in the number of circulating B-lymphocytes in his blood. However, tests determine that the functional state of Anthony’s T-lymphocytes are all normal. The doctor diagnosis Anthony with a genetic disorder.

1. What genetic disorder does Anthony have?

2. What is the cause of this genetic disorder?

3. Why did Anthony lack tonsils?

4. What treatment(s) will Anthony need and for how long?

5. Explain why Anthony was free of infections in the first 8 months of life.

6. The infections that Anthony had are mostly caused by bacteria. Explain why he was more prone to bacterial infections than viral infections.

A medical professional wants to know if there more children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in states that have larger urban areas over states that are mostly rural. So she sampled 8-year old children in two states: Pennsylvania and Utah. In the state of Pennsylvania, a fairly urban state, there are 245 eight year olds diagnosed with ASD out of 18,440 eight year olds evaluated. In the state of Utah, a fairly rural state, there are 45 eight year olds diagnosed with ASD out of 2,123 eight year olds evaluated. Set up and run a test of hypothesis to determine if there is enough evidence to show that the proportion of children diagnosed with ASD in Pennsylvania is more than the proportion in Utah? Use a level of significance of 1%. Specifically, do the following: (i) Write down the null and alternative hypotheses. (ii) Verify that the assumptions necessary to apply the test are satisfied. (iii) What is the test statistic and what is the p-value? (iv) State your conclusion
