    The document discusses four examples involving hypothesis testing and confidence intervals: 1) A study testing if low socioeconomic status is associated with lower birthweight, with a null hypothesis that birthweight is normal and alternative that it is lower. 2) A study testing if fish oil increases IQ, with a null hypothesis that the mean IQ is 100 and alternative that it is greater than 100. 3) Constructing a 95% confidence interval for isometric strength in operated limbs based on a sample of 19 patients. 4) Constructing a 95% confidence interval for mean serum bilirubin levels based on a sample of 10 hepatitis patients.

    EPIDEMIOLOGY AND BIOSTATISTICS

    TUTORIAL ESTIMATION & HYPOTHESIS TESTING

    1. Suppose we want to test the hypothesis that mothers with low socio-economic status
    (SES) deliver babies whose birthweight are lower than normal. To test this
    hypothesis, a list is obtained of birthweight from 100 consecutive, full-term, live-born
    deliveries from the maternity ward of a hospital in a low-SES area. The mean
    birthweight (x bar) is found to be 115 oz with a sample standard deviation (s) of 24
    oz. Suppose we know from nationwide surveys based on millions of deliveries that
    the mean birthweight in the United States is 120 oz.

    i. Based on the above situation, define the null hypothesis (H 0) and alternative
    hypothesis (Ha).
    = The null hypothesis denoted H 0, is the hypothesis to be tested.The
    alternate hypothesis, donated by Ha, is the hypothesis that in some way
    contradicts the null hypothesis

    ii. Differentiate between Type I and Type II error.


    = The probability of a type l is error is the probability of rejecting the
    null hypothesis when H0 is true. Meanwhile, the probability of type ll
    error is the probability of accepting the null hypothesis when H a is true.
    This probability is a function of µ as well as the factors.

    2. To test the hypothesis that eating fish makes one smarter, a random sample of 12
    persons take a fish oil supplement for one year and then are given IQ test. Here are
    the results:

    116 111 101 120 99 94 106 115 107 101 110 92

    Hypothesis for this situation is H0: µ = 100, and Ha: µ > 100

    a) Based on the hypothesis stated, state the null hypothesis and alternative
    hypothesis in sentence.

     H0: µ = 100 is no effect because eating fish does not help increase
    the mean IQ
     Ha: µ > 100 is effective when eating fish it helps increase the mean
    IQ.
    b) Compute mean and standard deviation based on the given data.

    3. In 19 subjects, the mean isometric strength for the operated limb (in newtons) was
    250.8 with a SD of 130.9. we assume that these 19 patients constitute a random
    sample from a population of similar subjects. Construct 95% confidence interval.
    4. A sample of 10 patients yielded the following results:

    20.5 14.8 21.3 12.7 15.2 26.6 23.4 22.9 15.7 19.24
    a) What is the average serum bilirubin level of patients admitted to a hospital for
    treatment of hepatitis?
    b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean.
