You are studying the effects of smoking by pregnant women on rates of asthma in theirchildren. You collect data on the number of cigarettes smoked per day and whether or not thechild developed asthma by the age of two. The data is below:Smoked 1-5 cigarettes per day --- 9.2% developed asthmaSmoked 6-10 cigarettes per day --- 10.3% developed asthmaSmoked 11-20 cigarettes per day -- 25% developed asthmaSmoked 21-40 cigarettes per day --- 34.8% developed asthmaSmoked 41-60 cigarettes per day --- 38.4% developed asthmaIn order to study the relationship between the number of cigarettes smoked by pregnant women per day and thepercentage of their children developed asthma by the age of two using statistical knowledge, we convert the abovedata into the following format and see if we can obtain an adequate fit using linear regression.Average number of cigarettes smoked per day 3 8Percentage of children developed asthmaWhat is the value of the correlation coefficient?Г15-5 30.5 50.59.2% 10.3% 25% 34.8% 38.4%(Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)Assume that the best-fit line of the above data set is a good model for the study.

Exercise 3.13 —*** Challenging Question ✶✶✶. Two women, Anna and Bess, claim to be the legal owners of a diamond ring that - each claims - has great sentimental value. Neither of them can produce evidence of ownership and nobody else is staking a claim on the ring. Judge Sabio wants the ring to go to the legal owner, but he does not know which of the two women is in fact the legal owner. He decides to proceed as follows. First he announces a fine of $F > 0 and then asks Anna and Bess to play the following game. Move 1: Anna moves first. Either she gives up her claim to the ring (in which case Bess gets the ring, the game ends and nobody pays the fine) or she asserts her claim, in which case the game proceeds to Move 2. Move 2: Bess either accepts Anna's claim (in which case Anna gets the ring, the game ends and nobody pays the fine) or challenges her claim. In the latter case, Bess must put in a bid, call it B, and Anna must pay the fine of $F to Sabio. The game goes on to Move 3. Move…
2. For this question use the HUI3 scoring system for the health utilities index. Assume a patient has a baseline HUI3 state of (2,2,1,4,1,3,2,4) and a 1-year follow-up HUI3 health state of (2,2,1,3,2,1,2,2) after participating in a RCT. How many QALYs does this person gain in the first year after treatment? a. Use the information from above to answer the following questions. Suppose the cost of treatment was $20,000 and the average person lived an additional 10 years. What is the cost per QALY gained for the treatment (using discounted QALYS)? Does the treatment appear cost-effective? Explain.
A counselor claims that a new method of conflict resolution is less prone to interruption than an old method. Prior experience suggest that clients interrupted each other average of an 10 times per session. A drug company claims that a single dose of a new drug relieves symptoms for a longer period of time than the current formulation. The current formu- lation relieves symptoms for eight hours, on average. Americans gain an average of one pound per year as they age between the ages of 25 and 45. A public health campaign aims to decrease the amount of weight gained during this interval.

Data 1:*2008 and 2013 National Demographic Health Survey showed that the percentage of womenage 15- 19 who had a live birth or is pregnant with first child had increased from 9.9% - 10.1% inthe country.*In Region 1, the percentage of women age fifteen 15 - 24 who havebegun childbearing also increased from 26% - 29%. This was attributed to the following riskybehaviors identified by the adolescents during the Regional Adolescent Congress: Early sex,Substance abuse, Pornography, VAWC (rape case), Fraternities (bad gangs) & Prostitution. Questions:1. What is the impact of the given data to mortality and morbidity rate of adolescent population? 2. What is the impact of the given data to mortality and morbidity rate of neonatal population? 3. Give at least 3 social determinants of health which are contributory factors leading to the datapresented and justify..
6. There is no safe hobby, is there? What could be healthier than gardening? Apparently, not-gardening! Researchers conducted a case-control study with current prevalence of low back pain (outcome) and frequent gardening (exposure). Researchers stratified the data by age. Current prevalent low back pain was defined based on the reporting of at least one episode of low back pain during the past month. Table A shows the age stratified results of the study. Frequent Gardening Low Back Pain (LBP) Yes LBP No LBP Age < 65 years Yes 90 315 No 35 210 Age 2 65 years Yes 65 25 No 60 45 a. Using the data in Table A, calculate the unadjusted (crude) exposure odds ratio. (Hints: unadjusted / crude means we do not consider age. Note we are asking for the exposure OR. )|

In 2009 the Organization for Economic Cooperation andDevelopment (OECD) conducted a study of 34 membercountries called the Programme for International StudentAssessment (PISA). The OECD looked at reading scores among 15-year-olds in each country as well as the stu-dents’ socioeconomic backgrounds. PISA reported that higher socioeconomic status was associated with higher reading scores, with their socioeconomic index explain-ing 14% of the variability in reading scores. (Source: Sahlberg, Pasi, “A Model Lesson: FinlandShows Us What Equal Opportunity Looks Like,”American Educator Spring 2012: 25.)Which of the following can be correctly concluded fromthis information?A) For every additional point in the mean reading scorein an OECD country, the PISA socioeconomic indexis expected to increase by 14% on average.B) For every additional one percent increase in the PISAsocioeconomic index, the mean reading score isexpected to increase by 14% on average.C) If the U.S. government wants to…
