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.

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…
Decisions for Tomorrow FRONT PAGE Material Wealth vs. Social Health National income accounts are regularly reported and widely quoted. They do not, however, adequately reflect the nation's social performance. To measure more accurately the country's social health, a Vassar College team of social scientists devised an Index of Social Health with 16 indicators, including infant mortality, drug abuse, health insurance coverage, and poverty among the aged. According to this index, America's social health increased only 6 percent from 1990 to 2011, despite a 34 percent increase in real GDP per capita.

Why can we not use first differences when we have independent cross sections in two years (as opposed to panel data)?

GNP: PLUSES AND MINUSES The gross national product in recent years has basked in the warm glow of nearly universal praise. Econo mists, quite naturally, have been freest with the encomiums. Where else but the GNP could they get in one tidy number a measure of the growth in the mammoth U.S. economy. Businessmen, though not entirely persuaded of the value of statistics, especially esoteric statistics, nevertheless have been known to quote the GNP—possibly because of its powers to impress audiences with the speaker's grasp of the "big picture." Politicians, too, have been extravagant in their admiration of GNP, most especially when it was rising at a brisk pace. Even the ubiquitous cocktail party has paid homage to the GNP as assorted junior executives, research assistants, housewives, and dancing instructors have pronounced on the latest GNP numbers with a solemn and knowing air. Now all that seems to be changing. GNP increasingly is coming under attack. Dr. Arthur F.…

You are studying the effects of smoking by pregnant women on rates of asthma in their children. You collect data on the number of cigarettes smoked per day and whether or not the child developed asthma by the age of two. The data is below: Smoked 1-5 cigarettes per day --- 9.2% developed asthma Smoked 6-10 cigarettes per day --- 10.3% developed asthma Smoked 11-20 cigarettes per day -- 25% developed asthma Smoked 21-40 cigarettes per day --- 34.8% developed asthma Smoked 41-60 cigarettes per day --- 38.4% developed asthma In order to study the relationship between the number of cigarettes smoked by pregnant women per day and the percentage of their children developed asthma by the age of two using statistical knowledge, we convert the above data into the following format and see if we can obtain an adequate fit using linear regression. Average number of cigarettes smoked per day 3 8 Percentage of children developed asthma What is the value of the correlation coefficient? Г 15-5 30.5…

E. coli cells were infected with two strains of T4 virus. One strain is minute (m), rapid lysis (r), and turbid (t); the other is wild type for all three markers. The lytic products of this infection were plated and classified. The resulting 10,342 plaques were distributed among eight genotypes as follows:a. What are the linkage distances between m and r, between r and t, and between m and t. b. Determine the linkage order for the three genes. c. What is the coefficient of coincidence (see Chapter 4) in this cross? What does it signify?
