An article in Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy ["Arthroscopic Meniscal Repair with an Absorbable Screw: Results and Surgical Technique" (2005, Vol. 13, pp. 273-279)] showed that only 25 out of 37 tears (67.6%) located between 3 and 6 mm from the meniscus rim were healed. Solve for a 95% lower confidence bound on the proportion of such tears that will heal.

Left ventricular mass (LVM) is an important risk factor for subsequentcardiovascular disease. A study is conducted to assess the relationship between the size of LVM in children (as determined from an echocardiogram) and the size of LVM four years later in the same individuals. Does LVM change over time in children? Completely conduct the appropriate hypothesis and list any additional necessary assumptions (you can assume that additional assumptions are met by the data) test with alpha =0.01. i Baseline LVM LVM 4 years later 1 134 126 2 86 142 3 78 111 4 73 82

“Passive and Active Smoke” in Appendix B includes cotinine levels measured in a group of nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke (n = 40, Mean = 60.58 ng>mL, s = 138.08 ng>mL) and a group of nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke (n = 40, Mean = 16.35 ng>mL, s = 62.53 ng>mL). Cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine, meaning that when nicotine is absorbed by the body, cotinine is produced. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke have a higher mean cotinine level than nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke. Based on your hypothesis tests and confidence intervals, what do you conclude about the effects of second hand smoke? Why?
A researcher claims that 90% of people trust DNA testing. In a survey of 100 people, 91 of them said that they trusted DNA testing. Is the actual proportion of people who trust DNA testing larger than 90%? Test the researcher’s claim at the 1% level of significance. (Null and Alternate Hypothesis, Rejection Region) A.

“Passive and Active Smoke” in Appendix B includes cotinine levels measured in a group of nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke (n = 40, Mean = 60.58 ng>mL, s = 138.08 ng>mL) and a group of nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke (n = 40, Mean = 16.35 ng>mL, s = 62.53 ng>mL). Cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine, meaning that when nicotine is absorbed by the body, cotinine is produced. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke have a higher mean cotinine level than nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke. 1. Construct a confidence interval estimate of the difference betwen the mean continen levels fo the two groups of nonsmokers. What confidence level would be appropriate? 2. Find the margin of error E using the formula. 3. What is the confidence interval? Explain the meaning of the confidence interal and what the limit represents.
A study was made of 413 children who were hospitalized as a result of motor vehicle crashes. Among 290 children who were not using seat belts, 60 were injured severely. Among 123 children using seat belts, 16 were injured severely (based on data from "Morbidity Among Pediatric Motor Vehicle Crash Victims: The Effectiveness of Seat Belts," by Osberg and Di Scala, American Journal of Public Health, Vol. 82, No. 3). For this problem we want to know, is there sufficient sample evidence to conclude, at the 0.05 significance level, that the proportion of severe injuries is higher for children not wearing seat belts? Let pi be the proportion of severe injuries among all children not wearing seatbelts and who were involved in crashes. Let p2 be the proportion of severe injuries among all children wearing seatbelts and who were involved in crashes. Which is the proper expression of Ho? Pi = P2 O Pi P2 Which is the proper expression of H1? O pi P2 Calculate p1 to 4 decimal places: Calculate p,…

To help assess the health risks of second-hand smoke, the levels of cotinine (a metabolite of nicotine) were measured in mmol/l in the urine of seven subjects prior to exposure to second-hand smoke and shortly after a two-hour exposure to secondary cigarette smoke. Did the exposure significantly increase the cotinine level? Assume cotinine levels are not normally distributed and analyze with an appropriate sign test.
