Terry was very ashamed of having had an abortion when she was in high school.  Now that she is married and has children, she can’t remember the abortion, which suggests that she has used ______ to reduce the anxiety associated with it.

Physicians want to know if the proportion of patients with a set of side effects after surgery within a population. The Physicians reported the confidence interval of (0.11, 0.29). What is the margin of error? Round answer to 2 decimal places.

The researchers were hopeful that in the randomization process for drug group: placebo and D-penicillamine, the two groups would have similar proportion of patients with the presence of ascites.  Let be the proportion of patients in D-penicillamine drug group that have the presence of ascites. Let be the proportion of patients in placebo drug group that have the presence of ascites.  Is there a statistically significant difference in the proportion of patients with the presence of ascites in the D-penicillamine and placebo groups?  Using the following output, provide the conclusion context of the problem that clearly answers the researchers’ question. You must include statistical evidence to support your conclusions.

Medical researchers are examining the effectiveness of a new vaccine against a viral disease. They administer the vaccine to a sample of 500 individuals. 375 of those individuals develop immunity after the vaccination. Based on their results, the researchers calculate an exact 95% confidence interval: (0.710, 0.787). Select the correct interpretation of the interval.

Suppose biologists are investigating a freshwater ecosystem and want to determine the proportion of fish that display a specific coloration due to environmental factors. They randomly select 300 fish from this ecosystem and observe their color patterns. Out of the 300 fish, 115 display the specific coloration. Researchers found an exact 95% confidence interval: (0.328, 0.441). Select the correct interpretation of the interval.  

If you consume 120g of protein, approximately how many calories are being burned while digesting the protein?

Cirrhosis is a late stage of scarring (fibrosis) of the liver caused by many forms of liver diseases and conditions, such as hepatitis and chronic alcoholism. The following data contains the information collected from the Mayo Clinic trial in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) of the liver conducted between 1974 and 1984. A total of 424 PBC patients, referred to Mayo Clinic during that ten-year interval, met eligibility criteria for the randomized placebo-controlled trial of the drug D-penicillamine. The first 312 cases in the dataset participated in the randomized trial and contain largely complete data. The additional 112 cases did not participate in the clinical trial but consented to have basic measurements recorded and to be followed for survival. Six of those cases were lost to follow-up shortly after diagnosis, so the data here are on an additional 106 cases as well as the 312 randomized participants. We will be analyzing the data from the 312 randomized patients.
