simple statistics problem?
Hypothetically, if 5% of the population has heart disease and 8% have cancer, is the probability that Tom will receive one or both of the two diseases?
1. You're asking this in the Economy section of yahoo answers evaluator Math section why? 2. Do we have any reason to believe that heart disease and cancer occur independently? If they are completely independent, we get a response are entirely related to get a completely different response. 3. If you have two dice, one red and one green, then: A. the probability of rolling a 1 on the red die is 1 / 6 B. the probability of throwing a pair in the green die is 1 / 3 C. the probability of throwing a 1 on the red die or including one on the green die is 1 / 3 + 1 / 6 - (1 / 3) (1 / 6) = 1 / 3 + (1 / 6) (2 / 3) = 1 / 6 + (1 / 3 ) (5 / 6) To see this, imagine a rectangle with a line through, one third of the way down and a vertical line, one sixth of the way through.

Minimal familiarity with statistics is assumedin the book, although the text is not intended as a primary introduction to statistics; an appendix provides the necessary overview of statistics necessary to understand epidemiologic concepts, including sampling, significance testing, confidence intervals, correlation and linear regression, relative risks and attributable fractions, the life table, and Cohen's Kappa statistic. Basic epidemiologic concepts, such as rates and ratios, age adjustment, incubation periods, investigation of an outbreak time-place-and person, agent-value, inter- and intra-observer variability, odds ratios, randomized trials, and cohort and case-control study designs are illustrated usingexamples from a variety of conditions, including asthma, food poisoning, coronary heart disease, measles, stroke, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, venous thrombosis, histoplasmosis, lyme disease, and AIDS. The text consists of 13 chapters, each of which includes study problems and solutions. A discussion of the uses of epidemiology in clinical settings includes a guide to the critical review of medical and related literature. |
