Medicine and clinical studies brigham and womens hospital


Medicine and Clinical Studies Brigham and Women's Hospital reports that approximately 20% of American males and 10% of American females will develop a kidney stone at some time in their life.32 Some research suggests that drinking lots of sugar-sweetened soda may lead to an increased risk of developing a kidney stone. A sample of patients who were admitted to Brigham and Women's Hospital for a kidney stone was obtained. Low-dose computed tomography was used to measure the size (in ml) of each stone, and the ordered observations were recorded. Use the runs test with the normal approximation and a = 0.05 to determine whether there is any evidence that the order of kidney stone sizes is not random with respect to the median size, 3.0 ml. Find the p value associated with this test.
