g (15 points) Suppose 42 out of 600 rats exposed to a potential carcinogen develop tumors. A control group of 350 rats not expos

ed to the carcinogen develops 13 tumors. Based on these data, computed (a) the relative risk, (b) the attributable risk, and (c) the odds ratio. Do these indicators suggest that there is a relationship between exposure and tumor risk

Answer:

a) The relative risk is 1.8\overline{846153}

b) The attributable risk is 0.69 \overline{047619}

c) There is a relationship between exposure and tumor risk

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of exposed rats that develop tumors, a = 42

The number of rats exposed to the carcinogen = 600 rats

The number of exposed rats that did not develop tumors, b = 600 - 42 = 558

The number of not exposed rats in the control group = 350 rats

The number of rats that develop tumors in the control group, c = 13 tumors

The number of not exposed rats that did not develop tumors, d = 350 - 13 = 337  rats

a) The relative risk, RR = a/(a + b)/(c/(c + d))

∴ RR = (42/(42 + 558))/(13/(13 + 337)) = 49/26 = 1.8\overline{846153}

b) The attributable risk = (a - c)/a

∴ The attributable risk = (42 - 13)/42 = 0.69 \overline{047619}

c) The odds ratio = (a·b)/(c·d)

∴ The odds ratio = 42 × 558/(13 × 337) = 23439/4381 ≈ 5.35

Given that the result of attributable risk is positive, there is an indication that there is a higher probability to develop tumor when exposed to the potential carcinogen, therefore, there is a relationship between exposure and tumor risk

No of ways  in which 5 numbers can be selected out of 45 numbers.

C_{45}^5=\frac{45!}{40!5!} =1221759

out of which there is only combination foe contest winning

P=\frac{1}{1221759}

When 100 different tickets are bought then

Probability of winning: \frac{100}{1221759}

What does the dashed line represent in a parabola
Nataly_w [17]
If the inequality symbol is ≤ or ≥ , then the region includes the parabola, so it should be graphed with a solid line. Otherwise, if the inequality symbol is < or > , the parabola should be drawn with a dotted line to indicate that the region does not include its boundary. Example: Graph the quadratic inequality.

There are 60 office suites in a downtown building. For how many office suites does company C service the computers? -Company A s
natima [27]
Company C services 16 office suites.

Company A services 1/3 of the suites and Company B services 2/5; together they service 1/3+2/5.  Find a common denominator; 15 is the smallest:

1/3=5/15
2/5=6/15

5/15+6/15 = 11/15

This means that 1-11/15 = 4/15 of the suites are serviced by Company C.

4/15 of 60 = 4/15(60) = 4/15(60/1) = 240/15 = 16
