An investigator wants to evaluate the relationship between diabetes type II and several health indicator variables. The investigator has identified 75 patients diagnosed with type II diabetes and 75 patients who are the same sex and age group but do not have diabetes. The investigator then questions each of the patients about their past eating habits, their current height and weight to calculate their BMI, as well as their family history of diabetes.

4. What type of study does the above scenario describe?
a. Case-Series
b. Prospective Cohort
c. Case-Control
d. Retrospective Cohort

c. Ordinal
d. Dichotomous

6. BMI is what type of data?
a. Continuous
b. Categorical
c. Ordinal
d. Dichotomous

7. The investigator asks the patients if they their mother has a history of diabetes (yes or no). What kind of data does this represent?

Let's introduce a new group of temperatures, Group D: 98.5 -101.5.

16. True or False: Group A and Group D are mutually exclusive.

17. True or False: Group C and Group D are mutually exclusive.

18. What does Group B U Group D mean?

a. B and D occur = {100.0 5 temperature 101.5}

b. B and D occur = {98.5 5 temperature 5 101.9}

c. B or D occur individually or both occur simultaneously = {100.0 temperature 5 101.5}

d. B or D occur individually or both occur simultaneously = {98.5 5 temperature 101.9}

19. What does B n D mean?

a. B and D occur = {100.0 5 temperature 5 101.5}

b. B and D occur = {98.5 5 temperature 5 101.9}

c. B or D occur individually or both occur simultaneously = {100.0 5 temperature 5101.5}

d. B or D occur individually or both occur simultaneously = {98.5 5 temperature 5 101.9}
Suppose the probability of a child with chicken pox having a temperature in Group B is 25% and the probability of a child with chicken pox having temperature in Group C is 42.5%.

20. What is the probability of a child having a temperature in Group B or Group C?

21. What is the probability of a child having a temperature not in Group C?

A study relating smoking history to several measures of cardiopulmonary disability was recently reported. The data below were presented relating the number of people with different disabilities according to cigarette-smoking status.

22. What is the prevalence of non-smokers in the sample?

23. What is the prevalence of no disability in the sample?

24. What is the probability of having a possible infarction AND being an ex-smoker?

25. What is the probability of angina AND a current smoker that smokes < 15 g/day?

26. What is the probability of shortness of breath given a current smoker who smokes 15 g/day (i.e. Pr(shortness of breath I 15 g/day))?

27. What is the probability of shortness of breath given a non-smoker?

28. True or False: The probability of shortness of breath and being a non-smoker are dependent events.

Exercise testing has sometimes been used to diagnose patients with coronary-artery disease. One test criterion that has been used to identify those with disease is the abnormal ejection fraction criterion; that is, an absolute rise of less than 0.05 with exercise. The validity of this noninvasive test was assessed in 196 patients versus coronary angiography, the gold standard, a procedure that can unequivocally diagnose the disease but the administration of which carries some risk for the patient.
