Left ventricular mass (LVM) is an important risk factor for subsequent cardiovascular disease. A study is proposed to assess the relationship between childhood blood-pressure levels and LVM in children as determined from echocardiograms. The goal is to stratify children into a normal bp group (< 80th percentile for their age, gender, and height) and an elevated bp group (≥ 90th percentile for their age, gender, and height) and compare change in LVM between the two groups. Before this can be done, one needs to demonstrate that LVM actually changes in children over a 4-year period. To help plan the main study, a pilot study is conducted where echocardiograms are obtained from 10 random children from the Bogalusa Heart Study at baseline and after4 years of follow-up. The data are given in images. Problem a)What is the two-sided p-value for this test? Problem b)Now perform the test using the exact method and obtain a 2-sided p-value. Problem c) Compare your results in Problems a and b.

Multiple myeloma, or blood plasma cancer, is characterized by increased blood vessel formulation (angiogenesis) in the bone marrow that is a predictive factor in survival. One treatment approach used for multiple myeloma is stem cell transplantation with the patient's own stem cells. The data show below represents the bone marrow microvessel density for patients who has a complete response to the stem cell transplant (as measured by blood and urine tests). The measurements were taken immediately prior to the stem cell transplant and at the time the complete response was determined.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a hereditary ocular diseasein which patches of pigment appear on the retina, potentially resulting in substantial vision loss and in somecases complete blindness.

The negative effects of ambient air pollution on children's lung function has been well established, but less research is available about the impact of indoor air pollution. The authors of an article investigated the relationship between indoor air-pollution metrics and lung function growth among children ages 6-13 years living in four Chinese cities. For each subject in the study, the authors measured an important lung-capacity index known as FEV,, the forced volume (in ml) of air that is exhaled in 1 second. Higher FEV, values are associated with greater lung capacity. Among the children in the study, 514 came from households that used coal for cooking or heating or both. Their FEV, mean was 1421 with a standard deviation of 323. (A complex statistical procedure was used to show that burning coal had a clear negative effect on mean FEV, levels.) (a) Calculate and interpret a 95% (two-sided) confidence interval for true average FEV, level in the population of all children from which…
The mortality rate from melanoma (skin cancer) during the 1950s was recorded for each of the 48 contiguous United States, plus Washington, D.C. (as reported by Fisher and Van Belle (1993) and found at http://www.stat.psu.edu/~lsimon/stat501wc/sp05/data/ The following is the scatterplot of the data: Mortality per 10 million 225 200 175 150 125 100- 30 35 Scatter plot 40 Latitude r=-.83 45 50 The plot shows a negative linear relationship between the latitude of the state and melanoma mortality rate. Which of the following is an appropriate interpretation of the negative relationship shown in the scatterplot above? A. O The more southern the state, the more people that died of melanoma. B. O The more southern the state, the higher the melanoma death rate. C. The more northern the state, the higher the melanoma death rate.
Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) is known to be a predictor of mortality after a heart attack. One measure of HRV is the average of normal-to-normal beat interval (in milliseconds) for a 24-hour time period. Twenty-two heart attack patients who were dog owners and 80 heart attack patients who did not own a dog participated in a study of the effect of pet ownership on HRV, resulting in the summary statistics shown in the accompanying table.
