Using your previous analyses as a starting point, and building upon the syntax provided in the class notes, you should be able to write your own R syntax for conducting the necessary analyses. We would like you to submit your R syntax with your completed assignment (although there is no need to comment on it any more; we assume youre up and running with R). 1 Describe the outcome and predictors. Briey describe in no more than two sentences per variable the distribution of the outcome ( infant mortality rates ) and each of the predictors (per capita income, the percentages of births to young and older mothers and the percentage of births less than two years apart).

Both the mean and the median lie above the upper limit of the normal range; overall, 6 of the 8 patients have calcium levels that are above normal. h 1i Exercise 8 a. The median daily caloric intake for the bulimic adolescents is 21.6 kcal/kg, and the median for the healthy adolescents is 30.6 kcalfkg. b. The interquartile range for the bulimic adolescents is the 75th percentile minus the 25th percentile, or 25.2 - 18.1 = 7.1 kcalfkg. The interquartile range for the healthy adolescents is 36.6 - 23.8 = 12.8 kcal/kg. c. Daily caloric intake tends to be higher for the healthy adolescents. This group a s exhibits a lo greater amount of variability. Exercise 9 a. Europe has the smallest mean; its infant mortality rates are much lower than those of either Africa or Asia.

Number of countries 24 24 14 18 18 16 13 4 What is the median infant mortality rate within this group of countries? What assumption does this calculation of the median rely upon? Give the cumulative relative frequency distribution of infant mortality rates . (Use fractions rather than decimals to save time.) EXTRA CREDIT: Give the expressions that you would evaluate to find the mean infant mortality rate and the variance of infant mortality rates from these grouped data. (Do not evaluate them, but write down these expressions as functions of the available data.) (30 points) Suppose you have data on a variable X. A "standardized" variable Z is constructed by using the following linear transformation: Z i = (X i - X) / s x for each observation i = 1, . ...

Excerpt: ... New York Times - January 12, 2005 OP-ED COLUMNIST Health Care? Ask Cuba By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF ere's a wrenching fact: If the U.S. had an infant mortality rate as good as Cuba's, we would save an additional 2,212 American babies a year. Yes, Cuba's. Babies are less likely to survive in America, with a health care system that we think is the best in the world, than in impoverished and autocratic Cuba. According to the latest C.I.A. World Factbook, Cuba is one of 41 countries that have better infant mortality rates than the U.S. Even more troubling, the rate in the U.S. has worsened recently. In every year since 1958, America's infant mortality rate improved, or at least held steady. But in 2002, it got worse: 7 babies died for each thousand live births, while that rate was 6.8 deaths the year before. Those numbers, buried in a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, didn't get much attention. But they are part of a pattern of recent statistics dribbling out of the federal governmen ...
